Prada Sale

You love Prada? Don't worry the devil likes it too. But INXS did say that every single one of us has a devil inside, so you must love Prada too! If you do, check out this 72-hour online sale of Prada skirts on May 6-8. This will be one hell of a sale!

Rating: 5

Sizzling hot would be the best way to describe most of Anne Hathaway's wardrobe in the movie The Devils Wears Prada. I liked how the wardrobe shifted from chic to super classy like this green coat with animal print in this photo. If  I saw a woman wearing an outfit like this, it will definitely earn my respect and admiration. I know the devil would.

Upcoming New Design; Joining Glam; New Fashion Video

Posted by Mean Critic
jsw_fpfreefoto-1908.jpg

StyleCritics is growing!  We've recently joined the Glam Network, as you may have noticed in how we're slowly adding bits and parts of glam into the site in the past few weeks, enabling us to work alongside kindred spirits and folks passionate about the things we are.

For starter features, check out the Who, What Wear video in the upper right side of the site (where our block ads used to reside), and join the guides in finding the juice to boost your fashion mojo.

What's more, we'll soon be upgrading the site into a format that we hope and believe you'd like even more. The same sharp, snarky tone and fashion critiques that you've come to love will still be there, but it will soon be augmented by a cadre of new bloggers and great new features on the site, including more news and articles about fashion and celebrities, and a bigger team.

Stay tuned everybody!

Attention Fashionistas!

The CW is holding an open casting call in New York City this Saturday, February 9, 2008 from 11am to 4pm.

They are casting an untitled reality competition that will take viewers (and cast members) behind the fashion world's velvet rope for a chance to work side-by-side with a who's-who of high fashion and a chance at a career-launching grand prize.

No experience necessary. But style, intelligence and a great work ethic are a must.

See you at Park Central New York 870 Seventh Avenue at 56th Street New York, NY 10019.

Yes, We Are As Old As Shiloh, More Or Less

Posted by Mean Critic
were_making_repairs.jpg

We're transferring to a brand new server *and* a brand new design, in preparation for StyleCritics' first year anniversary.

There may be some issues here and there, as with any move, so please bear with us.

Rating: 5 (pending hiccups)

It's always hard to move. I have moved 17 times in the last 20 years. Oops, if that is any indication of my age and no, I am a fossil, trust me. I've move like twice in a year sometimes. Style Critics has moved one too many times, I lost count too. So, again please bear with us. It's for the best!

And So the Story Goes…

Server Downtime

 

Hey, StyleCritics took a vacation! Not a real one but an imposed one, when our server went south! The powers-that-be decided MeanCritic was too mean and yanked the living daylights off the server, only for our trusty techies to resurrect the sidelined machine just so it would get hit with more lightning zaps and go down again, so it would go down, then up, then down, then up, down, up down, so many times that it reminded us of Paris Hilton.

 

Seriously, we thought we were doing you (and us) a favor by moving to what at the time appeared to be a better home for our server, only to find that it was a disaster. We’ve moved accordingly in the past couple days to sort things out. All should be well now, save only a few spurts here and there as we continue to tweak yet again StyleCritics’s new home and sharpen our tongue.

 

Please pardon the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding. Now back to our regularly scheduled muckraking programming.

And Now for the 64 Million Dollar Question…

Posted by Mean Critic
join_us.jpg
We finally decided to come up with a Q&A for the those of you who wrote, and have it ready for everybody once and for all:

1. Why don't you not mention brand names. Do you do it deliberately?

We deliberately do not mention brand names because apart from not wanting to be accused of shilling for brands, we also do not want to make it appear like we're being biased in our preferences. We want to criticize for its merits or otherwise, not for who designed it. Kinda like the "blame the deed and not the doer," although if you feel like we're already being pious here, rest assured we're going to share our opinions as we see it regardless of any calls to be politically correct.

 
Also, people are more inclined to change their view of the dress once they know so and so designer made the dress. Admire the dress for what it is, devoid of the status of the designer.
 
2. Who is the Mean Critic?
 
Mean Critic was born in this world wearing stilettos and a platinum credit card. Mean Critic is also saving up to launch a clothing line in the future. Mean Critic is only saying things most people are saying privately. PC is not in the vocabulary.
 
3. Why is Mean Critic so mean?
 
Because Mean Critic's tolerance for bad fashion is extremely low. 

4. If this is a fashion site, why do you get personal?

Because that's what you want. Celebrity and skin sell. So do opinions about their fashion sense. Britney and Paris can only do so much for bloggers and writers to talk about. We thought we can fill the void regarding celebrity fashion. Popular doesn't make you fashionable, after all (although shelling out on expensive clothes from all that money you spent on their movies sure helps).

5. Why do I see other posts other than Mean Critics?

We recently opened the site to a few bloggers who want to try their hand in being a critic. So, if you'd like to give it a shot, you can write to
meancritic@gmail.com and maybe see your opinions here, too.

There is a lot of room for another critic and a mean one at that.

Server Upgrade

Posted by admin
Server Upgrade

We're moving to a new server as we speak, to make way for more traffic and other good tidings. Oh joy. However, there may be a few things turned upside down, some hiccups here and there; and hey, for the systems administrators– maybe even some marbles missing.

Please pardon the inconvenience as we're doing our darndest to make the switchover as smooth as possible with minimal (if at all) downtime.

Thank you for bearing with us.
