Phillipina Betty La Fea Works In Green Fashion

If anyone has access to TV channels from the Philippines, please let us know if this is for real: I Love Betty La Fea (Ugly Betty here in the States), takes place at a Green Fashion Agency?!

I Love Betty La Fea on ABS-CBN has Betty working at Eco Moda Agency. Now we GSpotters don't speak Tagalog, but Spanish is heavily integrated into the Phillipine vernacular, and Eco=Eco and Moda=Fashion so...

Thread: BBC Eco fashion blog?!!

Thread Photo Shoot

Leave it to the BBC to always be the coolest most advanced news server around. Their eco fashion blog, Thread, is what you would expect from them: completely on point.

With interactive videos, photo slide shows, and great articles, BBC's Thread is about to be a GSpotting FAVE!

An Inconvenient Truth: The Opera

Al Gore + La Scala =

This was just GSpotted in Australia, An Inconvenient Truth: The Opera. Mad funny, those damn Aussies. And it's pronounced Auzzies with a zzz sound.

A few months back, owner of DeviDoll eco boutique and badass Brit Sindhu Venkatanarayanan asked us some questions about eco-fashion for the DeviDoll blog. Here is the sweet article.

For the article, Sindhu fused our G Spotting answers with those of Starre Vartan of Eco-Chick and Jocelyn Whipple of Element 23, and agency representing ethical fashion labels in the UK.

Perez Hilton Loves The Green, TOO!

Perez Hilton

Only because I check it like 3 times a day, I must shout out the self procalimed "biggest bitch in media" Perez Hilton for his article about confronting the climate challenge.

WeCanSolveIt.org is a network of over a million people pledging to work to find viable energy and climate change solutions.

Muy bien hecho, Perez.

A Tribute To Adrian Grenier

Adrian with his Alter Eco crew Angela Lindvall, Boise Thomas and Darren Moore

It's official, I'm completely enamored by Adrian Grenier. Not just his sensitive love-me eyes, or moppy 'I could careless' hair, or even his perma-calm that both Entourage character Vincent Chase, and he himself sassily exude; although all those things are great.

Adrian Grenier is just so fire

No, I love Adrian Grenier because he loves his Mother Earth. And just in case I didn't love her enough before, his love makes me want to love that much harder. To show his love and cute face for adoring fans like me all across the US, Adrian and three friends are working on a show for Discovery Green called Alter Eco where they peruse LA doing all things green.

Even in spandex for Halloween, the boy's got it

Two of my favorite hip hop emcees, Murs and Slug from Atmosphere, came together a few years ago to create an album entitled, "A Tribute To Christina Ricci." And in that vein, I would like to announce that when and if my first record drops, it will be entitled, "A Tribute To Adrian Grenier."

NY Times Auto Section Is Seeing Green

Today's Auto section of the NY Times has more green cars than Leonardo DiCaprio's driveway.

Smart Fortwo car

First there is an article about the Smart Fortwo car. Basically, the writer who test drove the car, admires the little beast's pickup and price ($14,000) , as well as precious-ness, but is disappointed with the actual gas mileage (30 mpg in LA proper and 34 on the highway).

Nissan Hybrid Electric prototype
Then this article about Nissan's 2010 hybrid release.

Oily Truth Cartoon from Financial Times' article

The electric/gas powered engine will help alleviate driver's heavy gas burden, as was eloquently discussed in the Financial Time's Op-Ed today by stellar columnist, Gideon Rachman.

Jessica Alba and her Prius in the movie Good Luck Chuck

Finally, an article in the Times Auto section about Hybrid cars in Hollywood. It says that movies tend to have crappy box office success rates if the main characters drive Toyota Priuses. (That sucks, 'cause we GSpotters think conspicuous green like the Toyota Prius, is bold/sexy).

Efficient cars are freaking cool, right?! I mean, with oil at $126 a barrel (it was $26 a barrel in 2003 right before the Iraq war) gas guzzling cars are just so last century.

NY Times Magazine Does Green Fashion; But Who Will Wear It?

Giambattista Valli’s biopolymer (corn based) dress $10,000 at Barneys

Yesterday's (April 27th, 2008) NY Times Magazine published this article on eco fashion. The article itself was interesting enough. Although at one point, they quote Earth Pledge founder Leslie Hoffman as saying that ' line-drying clothes is a forgotten luxury'. Uggh, as if!

Doo.ri's abaca (Phillipine banana leaf) cocktail dress $1,395 at Barneys

Unfortunately, the accompanying images of green style from traditional designers looked, well.... dirty. Contrary to what this photo shoot might lead readers to believe, sustainable fashion doesn't mean your hair is perpetually mussed, that you can't wear shoes, or that all of the looks must cost over $900 bucks.

Behnaz Sarafpour organic cotton shirt dress $1,200 by request at Barneys

Right on to the NY Times for having stylistic panache and eco-foresight to put this shoot together. But, next time call us GSpotters first! We will hook ya'll up with more affordable and sassy clothes, give your models sweet footwear and hairstyles, and make going green look so much less painful then your photos did.
