Don’t Cry For Her, Argentina: Claudia and Karl are tearing things up in Buenos Aires on the set of the Chanel Spring 2010 campaign shoot. Craft services is offering up “rich barbecue” though somehow we can’t see Karl chowing down on that. {Fashionologie}

Little Pink Houses: I’m from Indiana and we love all things Mellencamp. Especially supermodels who marry our favorite son and settle down in Bloomington. This video of Elaine Irwin Mellencamp just made me develop an even bigger girl crush. Also, it’s set to John’s music which always makes me smile. Hoosier Pride! {Modelinia}

Award Season: We didn’t even know there was a Harper’s Bazaar Cyprus. But there is and they just gave Jean-Charles de Castelbajac a Lifetime Achievement Award. {Fashion Insider}

Silver Screen Hamish: First he conquered the great outdoors and now Hollywood. Mr. Bowles has a cameo in Oliver Stone’s Wall Street 2. What’s next…The Great White Way? {Page Six}

So yes, that is Phillipe Blonde of downtown design duo The Blonds.

And apparently, in between raging parties and rocking Louboutins, he’s spending his time working on the wardrobe for Britney Spears’ upcoming Circus tour.

Which means Brit’s going all out - The Blonds make nothing but show stoppers replete with feathers, sequins, ribbons and lots of shiny things. Think Rihanna at Fashion Rocks, or Katy Perry last night, or their Fall 08 show at left.

It actually seems appropriate for what Brit surely hopes will be a major comeback tour.

And it’s much more suitable than Rodarte.

The cut backs we reported first at Men’s Vogue this morning just got some new details via a statement Conde Nast released to Media Week:

Not only is the magazine definitely cutting down their issue count to just two per year - a Spring and Fall addition - but the magazine will also be “absorbed” into Vogue.

Translation? It’ll probably become a small version that’s bagged with the regular Vogue, kind of like Fashion Rocks.

Meaning? There must be a lot of lay-offs at 4 Times Square today, especially since it’s just now been announced that Portfolio, Conde’s business magazine, will be cutting its own issue count to just ten per year, which will inevitably lead to some people being let go.

This is all coming to a head after Conde’s announcement of a company-wide budget cut of 5%.

You’d think they could dig into that by cutting back on car services and multi-day department Starbucks runs.

Between flipping through Fashion Rocks wondering how/why Justin Timberlake got the cover and seeing Rihanna’s face on every other page, I was was overcome by a “fatal attraction to cuteness.”

That cuteness was Siri sporting rubber toys on her head in the most fun fragrance ads since Juicy and Moschino. And the fatal part? Well, my friends (and you guys) might kill me for wearing this in public…

What you’ll need:

- An elastic headband, 2 for $3 at H&M
- Needle, Thread, Scissors
- Rubber ball toys (not sure what to call these, but they were in a clearance bin at Kinko’s and Party City probably has them too.)
- Flair: flowers, sequins, bows, and buttons, to your heart’s content
- Gwen’s Love. Angel. Music. Baby. album (troop of pet backup dancers optional)
- A sense of humor

All you need to do is sew on the balls & other flair. Not that hard.

Dare you to wear it out - take pictures!
