We're all for democratic fashion. And today is your last day to vote for the Council of Fashion Designers of America's Popular Vote Award!

Sponsored by L'Oréal Paris, this the first time that the public can cast votes for its favorite women's and men's designers. The winners will be announced onstage on June 15 in NYC, when the other CFDA awards, including the Swarovski Awards for Womenswear and Menswear Designers, will be given.

We are still loving Jason Wu and his creative cross-dressing, but what about Rodarte, Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang? Choices, choices!

Did your favorite designer make the exclusive list of nominees? If not, leave a comment rocking your vote.

KISS t-shirts: Rock, roll and vote

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really. He is voting.

If Gene Simmons of KISS knows anything, aside from being a rock god, it's how to make a profit. The guy will put his likeness, or Paul Stanley's apparently, onto anything. That's not a criticism, he's rich and we're sitting here typing our fingers to the bone. We'd like to put our likeness on some stuff, too. Rich looks good.

Speaking of looking good, check out these t-shirts (that, dear reader, is a segue). KISS has taken the popular images of presidential hopefuls John McCain and Barack Obama and given them a bit of a makeover. Or makeup as the case may be.

One Horse Shy: Where shirt meets politics

"They" always say that one should never discuss politics. Look what that got us. Discuss politics, people! "They" need to speak up.

One company that isn't shy, despite their name, is One Horse Shy, but that may be because they "pander to everyone," or at least those of us that enjoy a witty t-shirt.

Stylist poll: to fake your bangs or not?

Email thisPosted May 2nd 2008 at 1:01PM by Cat Lincoln

Today's Stylist poll is about fake bangs. Should you or shouldn't you, would you or wouldn't you?

We say, OMG yes!

Bangs can be the hardest hairstyle to pull off successfully, unless you're Heidi Klum, with an amazing face and 24/7 groomers to make sure they are exactly the right length at all times. Plus, growing them out takes forever.

But fake bangs take all of the maintenance, and commitment, out of the equation.

Prada, pictured here, went (as usual) for an ultra faux bang look. Fakies also turned up, just slightly more natural looking, at the Hervé Léger by Max Azria for Fall '08.

If those are too outré for you, there is always the standard sex kitten clip-on heavy bang, available across the internets for pocket change.

So, are you in or are you out? Go vote!

Stylist Poll: To turban or not to turban

Email thisPosted Apr 25th 2008 at 1:45PM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Hair Care, Polls and Quizzes

Today's poll over at sister site StyleList is Would You Wear a Turban? Thank you Olsen Twins and Prada, for another trip to Unwearable Village.

It's our opinion that you may only wear a turban:

while doing your hair, at the spa or salon, or in the comfort of your own bathroom
if you lost your hair due to cancer treatments or alopecia
because it's part of your religion
going to a Murder on the Orient Express party
when the Queen grants you the use of Dame, e.g. Dame Elizabeth Taylor
to satisfy an unbearable urge to pull out your old Dynasty costumes, i.e. you are Joan Collins

Otherwise, no.

Disagree with us? Head on over to the poll and vote!

Clothing of the American Mind: "Survive in style, not denial"

Normally we find a product that we like and say a few words about who they are and what they do. Then we make a joke or some other quip that either cheers or jeers the company, their respective product and all of their hard work. It's a living.

In the case of Clothing of the American Mind, a company that sells t-shirts as a means of changing the world, we'll let them describe themselves:

Uneetee: Art on a t-shirt

I've been doing this "t-shirt of the day-ish" thing for a couple of weeks now and as such I've been able to share with you some great companies and designs. Most of the shirts tend to fall into the line of humor, whether it be obvious or hidden behind big words, subtle hints, and/or irony. I'm a fan of the funny t-shirt.

Uneetee does carry some funny shirts, but I wouldn't say that it is their 'thing.' I've seen a lot of good t-shirt art lately, but this stuff feels more like art that just happens to be on a shirt. They have some fantastic designs.
