RUNWAY FUCK UPS

Strutting down the catwalk in supersize six-inch heels can be a perilous sport - just ask the clumsy clothes horse who came a cropper, at Milan Fashion Week. Let's face it, we girls are head over heels about shoes, but put one foot wrong and those sexy skyscrapers can become a girl's worst nightmare. (Link)
 
Another notable catwalk oops. In 1993, a giggling Campbell falls off 10-inch platform boots at Vivienne Westwood's runway show in Paris. The lace-up boots go on display in London's Victoria & Albert Museum, and Campbell uses another pair as a doorstopper in her London flat.

Karen Elson falls for Zac Posen. His shows are normally perfectly orchestrated, but he couldn't have foreseen this twist in the finale of his Fall 2008 collection: Karen Elson, wearing Posen's last look, took tumble on the industrial-carpeted runway. (Link | Photo)

PRINT ISN'T DEAD WHATS URE VIEW

Print Isn't Dead
Print isn't dead. In fact, print is so wild and crazy this season it's pretty much the opposite of dead—it's alive and crawling all over your clothes, from head to toe.

Do you dare to wear a wacky print from top to bottom?

NO PVC IS BACK FASHION WEEK 2012

Burgundy PVC
The It-outerwear-fabrication of the season is, hands down, burgundy PVC. Spotted on runways from New York to Paris, glossy maroon was all the rage. This trend hasn't yet trickled down to the mass market, so you might have trouble finding the look at a fast-fashion retailer near you, but we're holding out hope for the end of season! The only question is—do you want a bomber or a trench?

FALL 2012 FASHION WEEK

Military Details
This fall's military-inspired pieces aren't bedecked in gold buttons or dripped with medals or epaulettes. The best army-inspired looks for fall span jumpsuits, outerwear, and tailored separates that take their cue from a military color palette and sharp-cut precision.

Check out some under-$150 outerwear options right here.

Too-wit too-who are you? New species of 'owl faced' monkey discovered - after its unique bright blue bottom was spotted

A new species of monkey with a distinctive blue rear end has been identified in Africa, researchers have said.

The species, known locally as the lesula, was discovered after a young female was seen kept captive at the home of a primary school director in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2007.

The young animal resembled an owl faced monkey (Cercopithecus hamlyni) but the colour of its rear end was different to that of any known species, the researchers writing in the journal PLoS ONE said.

In fact, they say, its blue rear end is unique.
'The blue perineum, buttocks and scrotum displayed by adult males are more extensive than genital patches in any other Cercopithecus', the researchers wrote.
Other wild lesula (Cercopithecus lomamiensis) have since been found in their remote range in central Democratic Republic of Congo, where they live in forests and feed on leafstalks, fruit and flower buds.
The discovery of the new species, in one of the country’s last unexplored forest areas, is only the second time a new monkey species has been found in Africa in the last 28 years.

Although the 6,500 square mile area in which the shy lesula is found is remote and sparsely populated, the researchers warn the monkey is vulnerable to extinction as a result of hunting for bush meat.

They called for controls on hunting and the creation of a protected area covering its range to conserve the lesula and other wildlife found in the region.

Researcher John Hart said: 'The challenge for conservation now in Congo is to intervene before losses become definitive.

'Species with small ranges like the lesula can move from vulnerable to seriously endangered over the course of just a few years
