I admit I don't know much about fashion, but I sure know tacky when I see it. And it was in full force this week for the Restless Style launch party.

Did they ask Gloria to decorate for the party? Jack and Sharon made such a stink about the way she redecorated the living room with lava lamps and bean bag chairs then turned around and did the same thing for their big party. There were cheap blue fiber optic lamps on the tables and strobe lights everywhere, like they bought out Spencer's Gifts or something.

Chloe is supposed to be such a fashion expert and the next thing you know she's wearing this little red hat and dress combo that makes her look like one of Santa's elves. And she's got Lily decked out in feathers that make her look like a cross between a Vegas stripper and Big Bird from Sesame Street.

I don't have much hope for this magazine if its founder, Nick Newman, thinks his sister Victoria is a "fashionista." The woman wears the most hideous, frumpy dresses in town and can never keep her hair out of her eyes. And did you see what Victoria wore to the party? It looked like someone wrapped toilet paper around her and left the end piece hanging down her back and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail like she was on her way to a barn dance.

And what the hell kind of a name is Restless Style anyway? When you have restless leg syndrome it means you can't keep your legs still. If you have Restless Style it makes it sound like you can never decide what dress to wear. Got Restless Style? Ask your doctor if Mirapex is right for you.

You do realize that this new "Restless Style" set is just the old loft where JT used to live, right? I mean, they barely made any attempt to make it look any different. The window everyone keeps popping in and out of is the same window Victoria was staring out of when JT told her Nicholas was killed in a plane crash. And the big red neon sign outside is the same one we used to see from the loft's window. If it's not the loft, it's right next door.

Everyone's been spending the last week begging Victor to go to this party and when he finally shows up everyone is aghast and outraged by his presence. I know they sent him an invitation because we saw him throwing it into the trash.

But I love how all the reporters just assume Victor is fronting the whole project just because he shows up at the launch party. Even the media thinks Nick and Jack are big losers who couldn't launch a toy boat in the bath tub let alone a new business.

I'm starting to think Sabrina's French accent is about as phony as Alistair's Scottish one. When she was waving goodbye to Victoria she called out "Avec mama." That's French for "With Mama." Only, Reed was not with Mama, Mama was going away. Go back to Paris and brush up, Sabrina.

Wouldn't even the room service people recognize "John?" Or the people downstairs at the club, even if he's wearing sunglasses? You'd think Jack and Sharon would be smart enough to stash this guy at a cheap motel somewhere instead of the one place everyone in town spends half their time, including Gina who runs the place. They might as well have "hidden" him at Crimson Lights.
