Just a couple of weeks ago we read a Jezebel post wondering what ever happened to Tatjana Patitz, one of only five models -- the others were household names Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford -- to appear on the cover of Vogue in 1990. So her name was on the tip of our tongue when we saw this (heartbreaking) PSA for Orangutan Outreach, a non-profit that works to save the critically endangered "red ape".

Worst Oscar styles EVER: Kim Basinger, 1990

There are so many things wrong with Kim Basinger's dress from the 1990 Academy Awards, it's hard to know where to begin. Should I start with the glaring harshness of the white satin against Kim Basinger's pale complexion? No, what about the fact that half of her top is a jacket and the other half is a strapless, sweetheart neckline? Well, how about the opera length glove on her right arm that I presume is supposed to even out the top?

You know what's even worse? She designed this piece herself! With a look this bad, there's no good place to begin or end. We should just wash our hands of it and walk away. Laughing.

British Air Force launches lame fashion line

Britain's Royal Air Force, in what appears to be a completely random move, has a launched a self-proclaimed "Ralph Lauren-style" clothing line for men and women. The goal is to get some good PR for the organization, and, well, I'm not sure what else.

As proof that the military is, indeed, "with it," the organization feels that "The States look like they are going to go absolutely mad over it because they love anything royal and anything British." This according Nick Adams, managing director of JOI -- the clothing firm partnering with the RAF on the venture.

And that is was true circa 1998, so they're not totally off base.

You can peruse the collection of bikinis, t-shirts, leather flying jackets and more -- all adorned with at least the RAF logo, if not the motto, "rise about the rest" -- here. Or just know that it looks like a 10-year-old JCrew catalog, and you won't have to bother.
