Least hot look for a guy, ever. The New York Times reports that in a recent interview on MTV, Barack Obama (a man who knows a thing or two about style) dismissed ‘anti-baggy pants’ ordinances as a waste of time (agreed) but added, …brothers should pull up their pants… some people might not want to […]
Threadless is a typical website with weird and wacky t-shirts (pictured: the adorable “Wanted” by Jean-Sebastien Deheeger), with the distinction that fans can both submit and vote on designs. What better pairing than with Providence’s own RISD, an institution that encourages, among other things, future weird and wacky t-shirt designers. Tonight, the first-ever guest-curated Threadless
Well, it’s utterly beside the point and unimportant but… that dress really didn’t work. Created by American designer Narciso Rodriguez, it was actually difficult to look at and created an unflattering silhouette. But she usually nails it, and by all reports doesn’t care all that much about fashion which makes her even more endearing, and
If you’ve been to any of the Roller Derby Bouts, Rock the Ink, or the Rock & Roll Yard sale this past summer, you’ve seen Ms LuLu Locks roaming around with her stylish look. If you want to be made up like her, and photographed to tell the story, you need to come to a
There’s a group of a dozen or so of us who’ve insistently held a Halloween Parade each of the last four years. The path varies a bit: Sometimes we find ourselves being escorted away from the State House, sometimes we provide entertainment for janitors fasting outside of City Hall. Sometimes we set off with a
HOLY EFFING CRAP, Lady From Danity Kane! There are so very many terrible things happening in this picture, and I’m not even talking about the world’s ugliest red carpet or Aubrey O’Day’s completely baffling method of doghandling. I’m sort of reeling, wondering about the order of events that led her to show up in public
Obama is doing for the t-shirt industry what Bush has done for bumper stickers. Now available at What Cheer Antiques & Vintage in Wayland Square, these Be Bold Obama tees are the work of Providence design shop, The Design Office. $1 from the $20 purchase price of each shirt is donated to the Obama campaign
Wow. You mean to tell me this kid was walking the streets of Providence for four years and I never noticed him? This month’s Vanity Fair has a ‘Fashion Rocks’ supplement featuring Dhani Harrison modeling this fall’s very cool hippie/bohemian look. (Yes, those are furs, do not write to me. I do not buy, wear
You know what you don’t see much these days? Apocalyptic sandwich boards. You know, the kind people would wear while ringing a bell and pacing the sidewalk and proclaiming that the end was nigh? I mean, I don’t think I ever actually saw anybody do that in person, although it does show up a lot

I’m probably the only Daily Dose writer that doesn’t own these in all three colors already, but let me point you in the direction of these Andrew Christian boxer briefs for a second: I don’t actually have anything to say about them. I just thought I’d draw your attention to the fact that they exist.
So, the Indie Arts Festival “Facial Hair Contest” is kicking off around 5pm in Burnside Park, which I’m so sure all my bearded exes have been preparing for since springtime. Now, I know I’m piggy-backing on David’s post about this, but if you’re seeking inspiration for your facial hair, stop by the kickball field for

… but come this fall, this is what you’ll be wanting. The New York Times headline writer tags this report, without any apparent irony, ‘In Milan, All Masculinity, No Pretense’.
I recently suggested here that the Japanese are completely mental (and got no argument whatsoever I might add). In all fairness, my own ancestral peeps can be pretty daft. In England, the Royal Ascot meeting is the racing and social event of the summer, and hats are a really big deal. According to the Royal
Apart from being a total baller who drives to the beach in her rad boat of a car to go surfing AND opening up a much needed consignment shop for local apparel and jewelry designers with, similarly balling Devon King of Wabisabi/77Designs, Lucille Clothing designer Karen Beebe is a pretty fly artist. Come check her out for yourself as she sends
Edwardian frock coats, hacking jackets and waistcoats? I am so there. Steampunk is a new style, design and music subculture, inspired by the works of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, 19th century technology, as well as movies like The Prestige and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It seems to have bubbled up in New York
