WTF?!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 07:00:00 -0800

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.

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 -0700

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?

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:00:08 -0700

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.

Look #2, created by barbiesugar, is great because it requires no fuss. Just throw on the dress, heels, ring, clutch, and voila.

Look #3, created by bvfashion, would appeal to a guy who knows his fashion. The mini skirt is the perfect way to show off tanned, long limbs.

Trend Setters: Faux Ostrich For Furballs

PetSugar — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 10:50:38 -0700

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 -0700

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.

Ostrich, Huh? Get a Load of the $1,000 Ostrich Laptop Sleeve

GeekSugar — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 10:00:01 -0700

Holy smokes, folks: a laptop bag for $998 before tax (and I thought that $800 Burberry bag was excessive). I don't know if I have ever even seen $998 before tax. But whoever has, I suppose, is in the unique position of being able to purchase one of these delightfully colored ostrich-skin Bodhi Ostrich Laptop Sleeves from Nordstrom (to reiterate, they each cost $998).

Curiously, these sleeves bear a striking resemblance to the $150 Rebbecca Minkoff Virginia Laptop Bag - and I don't know about you, but I'd go Minkoff any day of the week.

Chris Benz Ostrich Feather Collar: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 05:00:22 -0700

When I think of ostrich feathers, I think major glamour. When I look at this Chris Benz Ostrich Feather Collar ($275) I see glamour, in the most over-the-top way. I personally wouldn't wear it, but it could work for someone who seeks the Old Hollywood touch. For me, the grenadine color isn't the most flattering and I don't like that the feathers are so close to the face. What's your opinion?
