Shipley + Halmos, Hedi's Pics, Turtle Necks and Doctor Love

Shipley

Bulking Up: There’s a pernicious rumor that we’ll see healthier, more human looking humans on Fashion Week’s runways. We’ll believe it when we see it. [Gawker]

Flying Tomato Targeted: Snowboarding, medal-winning, star-squiring ginger Shaun White added to Target’s collection. [DNRNews]

Boy’s Room: Shipley + Halmos have a great office, get good press, love Calexico’s burritos, fear the Superbowl. [Refinery29]

Say Cheese: A kinky look a Hedi Silmane’s photographic predilections. [Radar]

“Hipster Tilley”: Click for our endorsed candidate in the New Yorker’s Eustace Tilley Contest. [Flickr]

Vaseline Smiles: At last, the Miss America pageant is kinda, sorta sexy. [CNN]

Butt Out: Lighting up may threaten your sex life—in addition to other things. [Jamaica Gleaner]

Playing Doctor: As you already suspected, med students get more play than the average bear—mostly because they get to say, “Hey, I’m a med student.” [News.com.au]

“Who’s Neck Gets Cold Anyway”: Wearing a “polo neck” (trans.—turtle neck) could make you look smug and perhaps even glib. [Guardian UK]

The Big Sleep: Us Americans are such fatty fats that we need king-sized autopsy tables. [IHT]

Fashion Masters, Confessions of the Damned, and Holding onto the Tie

Flower Girl: Amanda Seyfried once starred alongside Lindsay Lohan. That wheelbarrow back there is probably a trade up. [Vanity Fair]

Four!: The “Worst Golf Fashions”? Oh, Time, when will you learn? The worse it gets, the better it is. [Time]

Save The Tie!: Hell of a lot easier than saving the whales, no? [Style Savage]

Man Talk: Shipley and Halmos discuss the finer points of male grooming—Joey or Van? It’s Van. [A Continuous Lean]

Mea Culpa: An Italian couple asks forgiveness for having sex in a church’s confessional booth, which we see as kind of pointless. We mean, once you’ve crossed that line, there’s really no reason to even try to go back—hell awaits. [Telegraph UK]
