Fascination with Lady Gaga‘s outfit choices reached a high when it was reported (via a weird PR email that we also received) that her latest costume in concert was a $40 girdle from Kymaro. Skeptical, Fashionista.com dug deep to discover that the report was full of it. But at least now everyone’s heard of Kymaro, which was likely the point anyway. [Fashionista]
For those that don’t need the help of a Kymaro or any sort of body shaper, American Apparel is looking for you; or more specifically, your bum. The brand known for it’s racy ads is holding a competition to find the new “face” of their intimates collections. All you have to do is submit a photo of your bottom clothed in something from their line, and you could be dubbed with the best bum in the world and be featured in their ads. Thrilling, isn’t it?

Nash-Taylor and Skaist-Levy will take a consultancy role. [New York Post via Coutorture]
