Never Is the Next New Thing™: Knickers Update II

“Wear What You Want™” Icon: Helena Bonham Carter

Michelle Obama Believes in the WendyB Motto!
Hallelujah! Michelle Obama has spoken! And she’s politely told the world to fuck off, which makes her my kind of lady. In case you haven’t been keeping up on the tempests in teapots that pass for news these days, Obama wore an Alexander McQueen gown to a state dinner for President Hu Jintao of China…
