Urlesque just made our day. They took the time (and we're guessing they enjoyed it) to put together this collection of the "Top 5 SNL Skits About Jeans."

We couldn't help but noticing that all of the videos are fairly old. The Mom Jeans clip is already considered a classic at this point and everything else is from even older casts. Where's the love SNL? Aren't jeans still funny? Where's Andy Samberg's jean short about jean shorts? Laser Cats can't touch denim blue gold in a box!

At least we have these gems. SNL and Urlesque, we thank you from the bottom of our Bad Ideas.


The two we featured are our favorites, but they're all good. See them all at Urlesque!

Throughout most of his career, Ernest Borgnine wasn't exactly known for his dashing good looks, if you know what we mean. But now, at the age of 91, his youthful appearance is actually pretty impressive. He probably hears questions like this one on a daily basis: "Ernie, you're 91, you look so young and vibrant, how do you do it?" His answer is pretty revealing -- and hilarious!

Back in July, Dov and his pervvy minions put on a blowout Independence Day sale called Operation Freedom. While we did catch the news about the ultra-low prices in time -- we somehow missed the accompanying commercial.

Now, thanks to the watchful eyes over at Copyranter, we find out that a poorly produced Operation Freedom commercial had been released, and it seems to sum up American Apparel's controversial advertising strategy: soft-core porn.

JCPenny has done one of two things for John Hughes fans, either they've brought back a great memory and provided a chuckle or they've killed a piece of their youth. Results may vary.

The new ad for JCP features a bunch of teens recreating some of the more memorable scenes from Hughes' classic movie The Breakfast Club. We LOVE The Breakfast Club so we feel very strongly that we should hate this commercial, but as embarrassing as it is for us to admit- we don't.

The following commercial was banned from television and may not be suitable for work:



Eva Mendes seems to be everywhere lately, and almost always naked. We aren't complaining.

The above video (assuming that YouTube hasn't pulled it for boob-related reasons) is an ad for Calvin Klein's latest fragrance for women, Secret Obsession. It was banned from television due to some finding it a bit steamy- and nipply.

Following this week's theme of men getting in touch with their feminine side -- mantyhose, guyliner, etc. -- we found this video today highlighting how more men are going under the knife to enhance their looks. We know Corey Feldman got peer pressured into getting liposuction, but apparently lots of other guys are having body issues as well. And, in true macho fashion, they say they're not worried about the serious risks involved in the procedure.

There are a lot of people who don't really think there's anything magical about what a hairdresser does. It takes a long time, it's expensive, and -- above all else -- it tends to lead to horribly forced conversations. There is a way to get your hair cut for free, though. This dude in San Francisco did it, and all it took was a piece of yarn, a pair of scissor, and a sign that says "help cut my hair, take two snips." It's hard to imagine the conversation being too dull.

Letting a myriad of unwashed strangers get close to your head with a sharp pair of scissors doesn't sound like a good idea to us, but since someone else is doing it, we think it's an awesome social experiment. Not only that, but it doesn't look all that different from any other emo cut that a Russian school kid might get expelled for. The two snip per person technique is obviously not for everyone, but we bet the results are always interesting.

Here in the States, Wrangler's image can basically be summed up by cowboy hats and barbeque stains, or cornbread and chicken, or whatever two rural items you want to throw together. Septic tanks and incest -- see how that works?

In Europe, however, the dream of growing up to rope and ride has apparently lost its luster. So, in an attempt to make Wrangler jeans more relevant to the youth of Europe, but still not lose the brand's earthy past, Parisian ad agency has produced this obnoxiously European, avante garde, and confusingly non-macho Wrangler commercial.

As we mentioned previously, Victoria's Secret Pink Collegiate Collection is all sorts of fun and spunk for the college set.

What we didn't mention previously is that you can be a part of the Pink action. This Thursday, July 17th, will be the first annual Pinkapalooza. It will be held on the Santa Monica pier from 5-10 p.m. and the public (that's where you come in) are welcome. Click here to print your pass.

Those in attendance will be able to compete in rivalry games between USC and UCLA, as well as be among the first to shop the new Pink Collegiate Collection. There will also be a free concert by Fall Out Boy.

The party will be hosted by the new (and first official) face of VS Pink Miss Behati Prinsloo. We will be sitting down with Behati for a little Q & A. and we thought it would be fun to take along some of your questions for the lovely young model.

If you have a question about VS Pink, modeling or something else (within reason) that you would like to ask Behati please leave it in the comment section. We'll pick the best (not that there is such a thing as a bad question) and ask Behati on Thursday- you know, when we sit down with her. Yes, we've been bragging about this to everyone.

Have you ever gone into a trance while folding a pile of clothes, experiencing lucid flashbacks to your days as a Gap employee? Do you feel the need to fold shirts symmetrically, one by one, to preserve the order of the universe? If so, there's a good chance that you've been brainwashed by all of the hours you spent learning an perfecting your symmetrical folding technique. According to US labor statistics: there could be hundreds of thousands like you.

We at Styledash are unabashed fans of Jezebel.com. We have long enjoyed their edgy and witty writers--but then we saw them in person.

Last week on Shoot the Messenger, The Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead (pictured)'s weekly live show in New York, Jezebel writers Tracie Egan and Moe Tkacik showed up drunk, kept drinking, and said some outrageous things about rape. That's right. Rape. It wasn't funny. The audience was infuriated and saddened, and I know, because as a New York blogger who happens to have three friends on that show, I was there.

If you're like us, and we hope for your sake that you aren't, you are always on the lookout for good time-saving steps. We have found one for you, or maybe just us- you decide.

The above video explains how anyone can fold a t-shirt in just 2-seconds. Yes, by spending two minutes of your life watching the clip you too can fold like the wind in no time (not to be confused with watching a two minute clip on Emmanuel Goldstein). Follow the simple steps of pinch and release and you should make those two minutes up by 2011.

If the only thing keeping you from this wonderful time-saver is a lack of t-shirts to fold then you need look no further than here, here, and of course, here.

Now, watch and fold. Time is of the essence.

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.

The trouble with being a teenage pop star is that you start running out of money in your mid 30's -- then you have to get the boy band back together and go on a totally lame reunion tour. So it is with NKOTB, but at least they're their latest look is way more fashionable than the old terrible haircuts and acid-washed jeans.

Their first video in 14 years starts out like a commercial for some new Tommy Hilfiger fragrance or boxer-briefs. Thankfully, the director didn't opt for any scenes with the aging icons in their skivvies. We have to assume that the boy band -- now man band -- is getting in on some of this fashion designer sponsorship payola,but we're not sure who's dressing them yet.

No real surprises here, the music still sucks. The main difference between this version of NKOTB and the last is: it's starting to get really creepy. Get a load of that yacht that Joey is hanging out on. Nice touch.

Perez Hilton's new "fashion" line at Hot Topic is geared towards his demographic of readers, young, female and cheap. We think it is also safe to assume that they are easily persuaded to buy crap.

In a video interview and vanity session Perez the pot insults the kettle that is pseudo-celebrity. He basically calls out Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad and claims that his brand smells better. We think they all stink about the same.

If you've ever wondered who's behind the racy ads and the supposedly hyper-sexual corporate culture over at American Apparel, his name is Dov Charney -- and he was just named the fashion industry's Retailer of the Year. He may not be the most conservative CEO in the fashion business, but his brand has totally benefited from combining well-made t-shirts with a really provocative, openly sexual kind of style of marketing.
His libertarian views on dating co-workers and exploring porn themes in his advertising have given him reputation for being a major perv -- as this freakin' hilarious video points out. Yet, American Apparel's sexy and controversial image is pretty much the one big piece of marketing genius that keeps them from being another Hanes. The uber-liberal corporate image, pro-labor business policies, and titilating ads are exactly what draws in the young, fashiony, hipster types. You've got to hand it to him, few people have made such a reputable business off of soft-core porn.
