Leg Warmers are no longer just for dancers or the rehearsal room (or for Jane Fonda throwbacks), taking center stage in the wardrobes of hipsters, fashionistas – and comfort lovers alike. They give a retro look and a funky feel to outerwear, give balance to the silhouette of the leg, and look equally good paired with cute party dresses and lounge-around wear.
Here’s a selection of leg warmers that Suicide Girls are putting on – and taking off – this season.

If you don’t like the Dandy Warhols latest record, Earth to the Dandy Warhols, right now, give it a listen in a few years. You’ll probably love it. While the Warhols have achieved some mainstream success, their music has rarely been appreciated by the masses at the time of its release.

Last night President Obama gave the annual State of the Union address. For the first time, he gave his address to the new GOP majority congress. Democrats and Republicans decided to play nice and sit together during the State of the Union for the first time in 100 years.
