the FASHION BLOC: British Fashion Awards Recap
Image: Winners at the British Fashion Awards 2009
(Left to right: Holly Fulton, Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos, Christopher Bailey, Georgia Jagger, Katie Hillier)
After 25 years, the British Fashion Awards -AKA- Fashion Oscars was a fab and eventful evening not only for the usual awards blunders but for the fashions and icons that attended from Sir Phillip Green, Jerry Hall to Victoria Beckham; not to mention, the Red Carpet adorned in Swarovski crystals. I almost couldn’t pay attention to the actual fashions that were worn, thanks to Swarovski.
Anyhoot, the biggest winner, Christopher Bailey, who is probably still popping bubbly took home, Designer of the Year and Brand of the Year for Burberry. Predictable Wins: Kate Moss took home the London 25 award and Georgia Jagger, Rimmel’s new face and rock heiress, gets Model of the Year. I was not expecting, but this seems like blasphemy to say, the Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design award go to Dior’s John Galliano for his outstanding career and impact on the industry (which I agree). Then, there was the model, Karen Elson, in a gorgeous red velvet dress that fell into the orchestra pit gaining a standing ovation when she popped up yet suffering a few possible broken ribs. Nevertheless, we hope she has a speedy recovery – YIKES! Kate was speechless both when she accepted her London 25 and Galliano’s award – apparently, she kept trying to talk but all that came out was “thanks and goodbye”. What really matters is how fab my girl, Kate looked in her Dior frock.
Swarovski honored their emerging talents Holly Fulton for accessories and Peter Pilotto for Ready-to-Wear fashions. Dunhill's Kim Jones nabbed Menswear Designer of the Year while, the BFC British Collection of the Year honor went to Christopher Kane, and Katie Hillier was coined with Accessory Designer of the Year. Overall, I agree with all of the Honors. London is the fashion framework and everyone came out to pay tribute to the Brit’s remarkable influence to fashion. Let’s hope Kate finally gets over the shyness and Karen doesn’t bust her arse again. See more award winners on http://www.britishfashionawards.com/. Cherry-O!
Check out BFC’s Power 25!
The British Fashion Council Press Committee, chaired by Lucy Yeomans, chose ‘The Power List’ of the 25 most influential people working in Britain’s fashion industry today - Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell made the list!

the Vid Bloc: Frosty the Inappropriate Snowman - What are your Thoughts
CBS Marketing campaign for the broadcast of Frosty the Snowman is garnering a bit of not so good press. The reason for this stink is CBS' Marketing Team decided to see what would happen if Corn Cobb Pipe Toting lovable Snowman Frosty would look like reciting lines from the hit show "Two and a Half Men". I think the hybrid was skillfully done and side splitting funny, but many parents don't share the same opinion.
Parents, Adults, Sensitive Folks I hear your cries of outrage, but I don't agree. I'm probably the biggest fan of Frosty the Snowman and in most cases I would cry foul, blasphemy, bloody murder I tell you if someone tainted my Frosty. Even though I wanted to do just that when I read several news stories; I just could not stop laughing at the video.
Granted I hear your arguments such as "What if my child is surfing the net and types in "Frosty the Snowman" this trash will come up". Well my friend I will answer your question with a question...what is your child doing surfing the net without parental guidance? Any kid under the age of 17 should probably not be allowed to surf the net willy nilly in the first place. If you are one of those parents then shame on you for expecting the world to do your job. Here's another question to parents that feel this spot is out of line... have you watched some of the kids shows on TV nowadays? Yes this spot is laced with adult humor, but I think even Disney some times pushes up against the proverbial line of provocative inappropriateness.
Instead of complaining just block it or heck take your kids to the actual Frosty the Snowman website and scare the bejesus out of them if they dare leave the page. Who said it was illegal to strike parental fear to ensure the kid doesn't seek out inappropriate sites on the Web?
If you haven't already...take a look at the video. You can't tell me that for an adult this is not hilarious...LOL... for a child yes it's inappropriate, but the show Two and a Half Men is inappropriate for children yet most complaining let their children watch it. Hmmmm moral dilemma or a smidgen of hypocrisy? I'll let you be the judge.
Regardless of your views, don't deny your children the opportunity to watch a Christmas Classic ... "Frosty the Snowman" airing Dec 18th, 2009 at 8pm on your local CBS affiliate.
Feedback is always welcomed
