Jimmy Choo Is a Crocodile!

Okay, I don't know that for sure. But I do know that the Hunter boot people describe these rubber boots thusly:

"The legendary Hunter silhouette with natural rubber construction has been embossed with signature Jimmy Choo crocodile print and branded top bind."
(Italics mine, quote from www.hunter-boot.com)

I thought these were pretty silly when I got the email from Bergdorf Goodman back in May, (not really on top of this one, am I?) but then I read that little quote and laughed pretty much all day. I'm pretty sure that the crocodile can call crocodile print its signature, but I don't think anyone else can get away with that. It's not like they invented it over at Jimmy Choo. These appear to be sold out, but never fear, I'm sure they will partner with Christian Louboutin next year, and then your rubber Morton Salt Girl boots can have red soles! (Estimated retail price: Eleventy billion US dollars.)

Is It Just Me?

This photo of Drew Barrymore is from the new issue of W. I think the look here is "rock chick" because of the smoky eye/pale lip/big hair combo AND also:
Check out this photo of Sebastian Bach, rock dude, circa 1990 (from rockaces.com). Weird, huh? Am I nuts? Maybe. The question of the day is, who rocks (heh) this look harder?
