Uncle Karl is putting the world on a diamond diet. No, he's not forbidding us from eating diamonds (he doesn't eat anyway, right?) just from wearing them on the red carpet.

A dark day for fashion: Yves Saint Laurent has died

Posted Jun 1st 2008 at 9:23PM by Kristen Seymour

One of the most influential fashion designers of our time has passed away. Yves Saint Laurent died today in Paris at the age of 71. No cause of death has yet been released.

Saint Laurent is probably the main force behind women wearing pants on a daily basis. When he suggested pants for women, it was considered highly controversial, but he said that his job was "to make clothes that reflect our times. I'm convinced women want to wear pants." Obviously, he was right.

Coffin Couches: Green and creepy

Posted Apr 29th 2008 at 6:11PM by Whit Honea

Have you ever seen a piece of furniture that you were just dying to have? Be careful what you ask for. Coffin Couches make sofas from actual recycled caskets. We're not sure how to tie that together, but it felt right.

Coffin Couches is the ultimate in green furniture design. The couches are made from coffins that they acquired from funeral homes. Apparently, due to health and safety issues, it is illegal for the general public to purchase used coffins, so the company was able to approach the funeral directors with the mindset of recycling.

Kimora considers turning her doggy into a diamond

Posted Mar 24th 2008 at 10:43AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Celebrities with Style

As I've stated before, I loveLOVELOVE dogs. I really do. But, when my Yuki goes on the great squirrel hunt in the sky, I don't intend to wear her as a sweater, to stuff her a la Rowdy on Scrubs, and I'm not sure I'd want to turn her into a diamond.

But Kimora Lee Simmons has a different opinion. Her 18-year-old pooch, Zoe, recently passed away, and she's looking for a way to memorialize her. And, what is better than a bitchin' diamond?

LifeGem is a company that turns the ashes of loved ones into gems -- I'd actually heard of this before, but with humans, not pets. But, if Kimora chooses this route, she can opt for a blue, colorless, red, green, or yellow diamond and get just about any size she wants (depending on how much of the remains she can provide). The smallest options start at under $3,000 for a yellow diamond and progress steadily upward, but you know price is no object for Kimora.
