Have you been marking off the days on your calendar? We are getting closer to the SATC premiere, and here at StyleDash, we couldn't be more excited! We've been raiding our closets, trying on our most outrageous Carrie-riffic outfits, and, of course, shoe shopping in preparation for the Big Premiere.

What about you? What have you done to prepare? Have you submitted a question for the SATC fashion quiz? Do you have your outfit, shoes, and accessories picked out? Have you been watching reruns back to back to absorb every last delicious, fashionable drop of the series?

StyleList has a simpler question in their current poll: Are you excited about the Sex and the City movie? Head on over and cast your vote!

The LA Times published an article the other day about how rock stars are beginning to all look the same, and after a quick survey of many of today's top artists, we have to kind of agree. While we've spent many hours lamenting over how derivative and boring mainstream pop music is these days, we hadn't really taken notice of how conservative rock stars were dressing.

Where's the sex? Where's the wild hair? Where is the leather? Visionaries and rebels are few and far between in today's music scene. Instead of setting the rules for fashion, like many of their predecessors, most of today's music talent look like they're taking their cues from display windows at the mall. From John Mayer to Fergie, most of them look like they're heading to a photo shoot for one catalog or another -- and in a very real way, they are.

Last week, Madonna finally dropped her album Hard Candy and every able-bodied New Yorker came out to the Roseland in Manhattan to watch the diva perform her hot new dance tracks.

Decked out in head-to-toe Dolce & Gabbana athletic gear, Madge performed her hit "4 minutes on stage with Justin Timberlake" while a slew of CFDA babes like Donna Karan, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, Harvey Weinstein, Lyor Cohen, Tory Burch and Rosie O'Donnell danced along.

Meanwhile, right after her live performance, Madonna slipped on a Ralph Lauren frock and headed over to friend/photographer Steven Klein's birthday party at The Box where waiters walked around in Dolce & Gabbana underwear all night.

And who said you were suppose to start slowing down at 50?

Recently our sister site Stylelist did a beauty evolution slideshow of Gwen Stefani. She had a lot of kooky looks, that Gwen. Blue hair, bindis, and that red, red lipstick. Something about that story stayed on our minds, and we finally figured it out.

Gwen owned every single look, no matter how off the wall or potentially unflattering. True, some worked better than others, but she always seemed comfortable with herself and really excited about her style. And because of that she looked terrific all the time.

We could all benefit by taking a page out of Gwen's book, and just go for it once in a while.

Though it could have been the start of a feud between Heidi Klum, host of the U.S.'s version of Project Runway and Iman, host of Canada's version, it appears that will not be the case.

Iman was recently quoted as saying that she has much more high fashion experience than Klum. Claws out, right? Well, when Heidi was asked about it at the launch of her line of jeans for Jordache at Bloomingdales, she responded by saying Iman was right. Huh? Is that the kind of behavior we expect from a supermodel?

In case you've been hiding under a huge rock for the past six months, Madonna's long-awaited Hard Candy album drops in stores today. Oh yes, we're excited, too.

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.

We've featured David & Goliath on here before. In the past we had pretty specific things to discuss, like labeling yourself and how rape isn't funny. Today we're going to take a more general look at what David & Goliath do best: funny t-shirts.

Considering that the other ads in this campaign consisted of images like a woman grabbing a man's crotch, and a nude woman ironing while a man smokes a cigar and drinks some champagne -- it's hard to understand why the Italian Advertising Institute singled out this ad for banishment. For some weird reason, this is the straw that broke the camels back.

Three women's magazines that contain the banned ad have already been published, but the rest will have to be re-printed, or else be put on the shelf with the nudie magazines. Geez, that's a lot of wasted paper. We have to hand it to Ford, not only does he make great suits and sunglasses that you can find at Costco, but he turns out some of the most provocatively sexy ads around.

Do you like spending at least $300 on a pair of casual sneakers? Really? Will you buy us a pair? We wear a size 12.

If you do like dropping a bit of bank on a quality and stylish set of footwear then you have come to the right place.



Check out the new kicks below, but keep your sticky fingers off the case, most of these shoes will set you back a car payment. You can do whatever you want with your own pair, buy them here.

Fact or fiction:

Gisele Bundchen will be kickin ass and taking names alongside Mike Myers in the upcoming Austin Powers film.

Uh, we're not sure. But according to the Boston Globe, the 27-year-old model-actress-whatever has supposedly read through the script and will meet with director Jay Roach and Mike Myers in the near future for the part.

Who's the star of the next scandalous celebrity sex tape? Kristin Davis? Paris Hilton? Perez Hilton? The answer is none of the above. The must-see celebrity sex tape of the month features the mother of all American sex symbols: Marilyn Monroe.

According to the NY Post, the only known copy of the infamous FBI sex tape -- showing Marilyn getting hot and heavy with an unidentified male -- was sold to a collector for $1.5M over the weekend. So, when will the footage hit YouTube? The collector says that it will never see the light of day.

Is that a home theater system on your head or are you just happy to see us? If you chose anything but "both" then keep reading. We've got something to show you.

The Vuzix iWear may look like something off of Star Trek, but it's much cooler. That's right, we said something was cooler than Star Trek (see Battlestar Galactica), deal with it.

This "face-furniture" as the good people at Firebox call it, provides "a fully immersive audiovisual assault" that replicates watching a 62" screen from a safe distance. Really. It's like watching a huge big screen on your face.
