While I brainstorm what the heck I’m going to wear as a Halloween costume for this year’s par-teh, check out the Friday Frivolity I found running amuck on the interwebs.  Let the Weekend Frivolity begin!

1.  West Coast vs East Coast:

These killer handbags from Empire33 totally unleash the Beatrix Kiddo in me.  I’m actually kind of sad they don’t come with the blades, they sure would come in handy during sample sales.  The handle in the first bag pictured above is an actual American civil war sword handle and the second one comes from a Japanese katana sword.  Make sure to wrap your shurikens up extra carefully before you put them in your bag, you wouldn’t want to damage that high quality Italian leather.

2.  In other news, Alexander McQueen is blowing me away:

Once I have the Evil Queen shoes, all that remains is finding the Evil Kingdom that I shall rule while wearing them.  I wonder if Emperor Ming is hiring:

However, should the Ming job not work out, I’ll buy this pair instead and go apply at oh, say, the lost city of Atlantis:

Although, it’d have to be desk job.  Honestly, these shoes are THE JAM.  This is why I love fashion, folks.  It’s not always comfortable but it does make you look, and stare.  And wonder.  And imagine.  And that’s really what the hokey-pokey is all about.

3.  Apparently, as addicted to Etsy.com as I am, I am not looking CLOSE enough, because thar be comedic gold in them there hills.  GOLD, I tell you.  Luckily, now that we have Regretsy.com, you don’t have to mine for those nuggets of joy.  Like this lovely Blue Houndstooth Tie Swing Coat.

And yes, Virgina, YOU CAN put a vagina on everything.  YES.  EVERYTHING.

Oh Regretsy, after the Fish and Fowl Taxidermy Suit I just ordered, you’re TOTALLY my new BFF.

4. G-string too constricting?  Try this on for size.  But be warned, you’ll have to CLENCH like never before:

Be forewarned, it takes the sheer will of  a Jedi and the butt muscles of Madonna to hold this in place.  Barring that, superglue works too.

5.  L.A. actress/comedian, Amy Phillips had me ROLLING with this short video – Real Moments with Rachel Zoe, Episode 1.  If you’ve ever watched even 5 seconds of the Rachel Zoe Project, you’ll love this.  It would not surprise me if we see Phillips joining the cast of SNL one day down the line.

Enjoy your weekend!  Get crunk!  Or whatever it is the kids are doing these days.
