Beyonce Ruins Telephone + Humor Chic

I like to skip the parts where Beyonce sings in Lady Gaga's "Telephone." Though Beyonce came first, Gaga is light-years ahead of her in terms of style, music and overall coolness (at least in my own opinion, since everyone has different musical tastes). The bit in the Telephone video where Beyonce does this dumb dance move where her hands are at her sides and she jumps forward twice while looking up at the camera with a completely serious look on her face makes me cringe inside. I'm sorry if you are a devoted Beyonce fan, but she completely mars Telephone's potential awesomeness with her trying-too-hard "acting," dance moves, rapping, and eating of a honey bun. I am aware that Lady Gaga probably played a part in choreographing Beyonce's parts in Telephone but I don't care, Beyonce still ruins it and Lady Gaga is still better.
No one likes your stupid dance move. (Sorry for the grainy screen shot.)


Now I will discuss Humor Chic, the brainchild of Alexandro Palombo. Basically, he pokes fun at the fashion world through witty drawings of Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld (no longer editor of Vogue Paris; I know, old news, but I figured I should mention or else people would wonder if I hadn't heard*), Karl Lagerfeld and more.

Terry Richardson and Anna Wintour. If you don't understand this, it refers to Richardson's alleged sexual abuse of young models.

Also, Abbey Lee Kershaw's white ink tattoo is killer.
You can see it if you look closely at her wrist. I don't know what it says! The one on her finger is an owl head.
