WTF?!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 07:00:00 PST

I think this skiing ostrich is courtesy of our friends the Japanese, who seem to have cornered the market on all things surreal. If you haven't seen this before, it definitely deserves a look. Imagine seeing that thing coming down the slopes.

Creature Features: Ostriches

Although these African natives aren't the prettiest of the bird family, they are pretty amazing nonetheless! How much do you know about the ostrich? Will you take my quiz or just bury your head in the sand?

Trend Alert: Ostrich Bags

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 14:00:08 PDT

Warning: These handbags will make a dent in your bank account. It's my duty to let you into the wonderful world of ostrich bags.

These spotted confections are a luxurious investment you won't regret. The rare texture stands out from the crowd, not to mention all the rich color choices. If you think about it, a $2,000 bag spanned across a lifetime isn't so bad. Did I convince you?

Fab Finding Follow-Up: The Perfect Date Outfit

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:00:08 PDT

I'm sure we've all been through the debacle of finding the perfect date outfit. You want to impress without looking like you tried too hard. The endless possibilities make it difficult to come up with just one. Bottom line: fidgeting with a loose strap or teetering in ultra-high heels is not cool. So I asked you, what would be your perfect date outfit?

I started you off with this Carlos Falchi Flat Exotic Clutch ($995). The textured ostrich leather is different and decadent; the neutral color will go with any ensemble. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by cnyc1a, is sexy and sassy. You can never go wrong with those two things on a date.

Trend Setters: Faux Ostrich For Furballs

PetSugar — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 10:50:38 PDT

Seems like Antonio Sabato's cute pooch isn't the only one getting in on the faux ostrich fabric! Now I like the nubby design but would never invest in the real thing. Thankfully, more and more designers are creating convincing patterns inspired by that fabric, and I found quite a few bags and collars in the mock material below.

How Much Does It Cost to Carry a Pet in a Real Ostrich Bag?

PetSugar — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 07:00:50 PDT

When I spotted this classy camel-colored bag under the arm of Antonio Sabato at the 7th annual Nuts for Mutts Dog Show and Pet Fair to benefit New Leash on Life, I made it my morning mission to locate a similar faux ostrich bag. Even though Antonio's lucky pooch gets a mock ostrich carrier, little did I know that my search for it would lead me to an authentic ostrich pet carrier . . . with an equally shocking price tag. Can you guess how much that bag costs? Don't worry, there's a picture included next to the question below.

Thomas Haden Church on His Big-Screen Brother Matt Damon and Real We Bought a Zoo Story

Lindsay Miller — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 01:42:00 PST

Thomas Haden Church may play the role of Matt Damon's overly concerned brother in We Bought a Zoo, but we learned that the actor is actually the proud owner of a fully functioning ranch in real life! No stranger to working with animals, Church spoke at a recent press day for the movie in NYC about the unpredictability of acting alongside zebras, ostriches, and even a 900-pound bear on the set. He also talked about one of his human costars - Matt. The two share a great brotherly chemistry on screen, and Thomas said they bonded easily over their shared love of "guy stuff" like football and cowboy movies. Watch our interview and see We Bought a Zoo when it hits theaters this weekend.

Bottega Veneta Spring 2012

FabSugar — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 08:12:57 PDT

Bottega Veneta's Tomas Maier debuted a Spring 2012 collection that focused heavily on color and texture - and we're not complaining. Goddess gowns of billowy chiffon appeared in jeweled hues of purple, ruby, and rust, and cocktail dresses had geometric embellishment that gave them a slightly tribal feel. There were draping and pleating done in ways to give the clothes volume without sacrificing the most important element of warm-weather dressing: breeziness. Finally, this is Bottega, so we expect a fine showing of accessories. For next season, expect a continuation of exotic skins like lizard, ostrich, and crocodile, but with treatments and embellishments to take them to the next standard of luxury.

Trends: pleats, tribal, fringe, rich color.
Colors: Emerald, purple, orange, ruby.
Key Look: An emerald green pleated dress; the red embellished dress, the chiffon goddess gowns.
Accessories: Exotic skin bags in ostrich, crocodile, and lizard.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave luxury, polish, with a touch of modern eclectic - this could be anyone from Kate Bosworth to Julianne Moore.
