Kylie Minogue's Weird Fashion Book: Kylie Fashion.
Kylie Defense Force 5 Alert! Kylie has always had fantastic fashion instincts, neither too safe or artificially absurd. And not really a has-been. Every album, from 2000's Light Years to 2010's Aphrodite, have reached number one -- even last year's orchestral compilation only got a slot lower -- a marathon of success that included a battle with cancer.
She's a classic popstar. With brilliant fans. Nick Cave, Manic Street Preachers, Marilyn Monroe's photographer, and Rufus Wainwright:
'I love Kylie, she's the anti-Madonna. Self-knowledge is a truly beautiful thing and Kylie knows herself inside out. She is what she is and there is no attempt to make quasi-intellectual statements to substantiate it. She is the gay shorthand for joy.'
And she was in 'Doctor Who'.

Punk Rock Fashion Shows Are Bullshit!.
Everyone involved looks just as sad and ridiculous as half of Seattle trying to dress and play music like it's 1977, but at least these celebrities are honest enough to admit they don't know what they're doing.
