Who better to promote Jean Paul Gaultier's upcoming exhibit at the deYoung Mueseum than Kylie Minogue? No one, that's who. The pop icon's image, as seen above, will grace poster walls, lampposts, and a sundry of buildings in the Bay Area during the exhibition starting this week. (Her laced visage and body was also seen at pitstops in Montreal.)

Concocted by the minds at San Francisco-based Cute Tank, this sartorial... stoke of genius? monstrosity? unbridled gayness? all of the above? Well, it will debut at their upcoming San Francisco fashion show party on March 17.

Looking for a new, free two-piece suit? Here's how you can get it: Wearing only your underwear please head down to Desigual in Union Square (101 Powell) after midnight on Friday, March 2; be one of the first 100 people in line; wait until the doors open at 9 a.m.; and then, if you haven't yet succumbed to hypothermia, you will get a free two-piece suit of your choice. But only if you're one of the first 100 people in line will you score a free suit.
Meanwhile, On Brian Wilson's Face...
As the risk of sounding too Gay Eye for the Straight World Series Champion Closer, Brian Wilson needs to trim that thing. He looks like Santa's evil twin, Serena Claus.
Mitt Romney Glitter Bombed By Gay Rights Activist
An unidentified gay rights activist glitter bombed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney today during a campaign rally in Eagan, Minnesota. As Mitt took the stage at a warehouse bash, the activist tossed a cup of joyous glitter on the former Massachusetts governor. "The glitter poured over his hair, stuck to his face and shimmered from his navy blazer," breathlessly reports The Washington Post. For those not in the know, glitter bombing is a spectacular tactic used by gay rights and same-sex marriage advocates against LGBT foes. A few notable glitter victims? Karl Rove, Michele Bachmann, Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich, and Dan Savage.
Mark Davis' Hair Emergency Trumps Possible Raiders Return To LA
We came to write a piece on the Oakland Raiders possibly moving back to Los Angeles. We stayed to gaze in shock and awe at Mark Davis' hair. Because that there is a... very special hairdo, Mark. Who did that to you? Why did they do that to you? Horrifying. And, are you a redhead? We sure hope not. Your fellow gingers do not need that kind of representation polluting the AP Photo stream. Still, your hair color is quite lovely and you have piles of money in the bank. One quick call to Elevations, Grasshopper Hair Salon, or—shudder—even Fantastic Sam's should prettify your mutant mane in no time. You're welcome.
Shooting At Richmond Mall During Nike Air Jordan Frenzy
At the Hilltop Mall in the city of Richmond, shots rang out at around 6 a.m. An estimated three thousand were in line waiting for the new Nike's new Air Jordan 11 Retro Concords. (The shoes, it seems, appreciate in value.) That's when someone fired a gun into the air. According to KRON 4 Morning News, no one was hurt and a suspect is in custody.
The SFist Guide To Locally Relevant Halloween Costumes
Halloween approaches. Scratch that. Halloween weekend approaches. So that could mean you require more than one costume over the next three days. But what to wear, you locally-minded folks ask? SFist can help.
Does Brian Wilson Endorse Ed Lee?
During a Fleet Week fete on Saturday, Giants star Brian Wilson made an appearance at a party while sporting a bizarre outfit. While the pic's photog (from Portal A Interactive) didn't grant SFist permission to publish the image of Wilson and his unusual attire—which, among a bevy of sartorial accents, featured pleather MC Hammerian balloon pants, a large gold belt, and two gold chains extending down his legs—we can tell you that the noted pitcher wore an orange t-shirt that read, "Fear the mustache," complete with a cartoon mustache and rectangular eyeglasses.
SFist Interviews: Mira Pickett of Mission Boutique Mira Mira
In recent style and design rumblings, the launch of the new lookbook for local woman-owned Mission boutique and style house, Mira Mira, happened over the weekend. Owner Mira Pickett teamed up with friend and neighbor, Georgia Rew, of Pretty Pretty Collective to throw down a runway party in celebration of their new fall looks - and their impending style takeover of 22nd Street.
Man Attacked in the Outer Mission for Wearing Wrong Shirt
A group of men attacked a fellow bar patron at a bar on the 5700 block of Mission Street for apparently sporting the wrong kind of fashion. "The 31-year-old victim was pulled outside of the bar by five suspects who apparently did not like his shirt," reports SF Appeal. "The suspects beat the man and also took his cellphone and cash before fleeing."

This Is the Most Important Piece You Will Ever Read On Denise Hale
Skullcap-shatteringly brilliant blogger Diane Dorrans Saeks just posted what could possibly be the most important lifestyle piece you will ever read. Why? Because it's about Denise Hale, that's why. And yet? It's also about so much more. Or not.
'GQ' Declares S.F. 20th Worst-Dressed U.S. City
Billed as the key reason why romance novelist Danielle Steel skipped town, the city has no sense of high style. In fact, GQ just declared San Francisco the 20th Worst-Dressed U.S. city. Which...fine. We get it. We do. We're a bit lackadaisical when it comes to attire. Or are we? By and large, the city's key demographic goes to great lengths to dress with the right amount of affected insouciance or brightly-colored wan. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the Mission arrondissement where men look like bike-riding sheep (black pants, black shirt, hoodie, Giants cap) while the ladies tend to fashion themselves as third graders (rompers, Etsy jewelry, hairdos riddled with flyaways, cupcakes) so as to appear nonthreatening to men.
John Madden Slams Brian Wilson's ESPY Outfit
SFist was the first to bring you the now-famous spandex suit Giants closer Brian Wilson wore at Wednesday's ESPY Awards, and it was glorious. We don't know about you, but our appreciation for Wilson as a San Francisco delegate jumped tenfold. However, not everybody was happy about it. Broadcaster and KCBS commentator John Madden slammed Wilson this morning for his revealing attire at last night's awards show.
Look at Brian Wilson's ESPY Outfit Right Now, Please!
The ESPY Awards (the Oscars of sports) are underway right now in Los Angeles. This is what beloved Giants closer Brian Wilson wore to the formal affair. Brilliant. As always, our love for Wilson continues unabated.

Molly Ringwald Coming to the Marina, 6/14
Tomorrow night, Samantha Baker (AKA Molly Ringwald) will make a guest appearance in the city's Marina district. Why? Well, according to SFGate, "Molly Ringwald has partnered with San Francisco's Benefit Cosmetics to promote last year's 'Getting the Pretty Back,' her ode to growing old gracefully." Cool. Also, kinda sad. Ringwald, if we may, never lost her pretty. And she's, what, 41? 42? Practically still a fetus.
The Only Buster Posey T-Shirt You'll Ever Need
You like? Of course you do. Well, now you can own this resplendent Buster Posey dreamcatcher (heh) t-shirt for a mere $20. True. The fine folks over at Mission Mission bring your attention to this shirt, created before our noted Rookie of the Year injured his leg on Wednesday, which you can purchase from someone named Nick at creamydesignsllc@gmail.com. Wear it to honor our (temporarily!) fallen soldier. Wear it to show your hippie/Giants pride. Wear it because it's rad.
Estranged San Francisco Romance Novelist Spotted in Town for Art Fair
Danielle Steel, former San Francisco resident and vocal critic of Teva sandals, was back in town this weekend for the San Francisco Art Fair at Fort Mason. The Chronicle's Leah Garchik reports Mrs. Steel was spotted when she "swooped in" to the festival sporting an "orange chubby", which is apparently some kind of furry or feathery shoulder covering...and not what you were thinking it was. If Garchik's description makes Mrs. Steel sound like she is getting ready for another How Weird Street Faire, you'll have to forgive the prolific author - she did admit she looks like a mess when she's in town. The author later purchased an oil painting of worn out sneakers by artist Gordon Smedt. [Chron]
Video: S.F. Mom Defends Decision to Give 8-Year-Old Daughter Botox, Bikini Wax
The depressing story of 34-year-old San Francisco pageant mom Kerry Campbell, who gives her 8-year-old daughter Botox injections, made readers foam at the mouth after The Mommy Files brought the all-too-true tale to the public's attention. Kerry, looking to make her young daughter both famous and sexually alluring, "purchases Botox online and injects her 8-year-old daughter Britney with it." She also waxes her daughter's legs and bikini line in a chilling effort "to get rid of peach fuzz and to make sure she doesn't develop pubic hair later in life." Mom and daughter, named Britney (of course), appeared on Inside Edition today to explain.
Estranged San Francisco Romance Novelist Thinks Your Style is Lacking
"San Francisco is a great city to raise children, but I was very happy to leave it. There's no style, nobody dresses up—you can't be chic there. It's all shorts and hiking books [sic?] and Tevas—it's as if everyone is dressed to go on a camping trip. I don't think people really care how they look there; and I look like a mess when I'm there, too." - Former Pac Heights resident and prolific romance novelist Danielle Steel. In a recent Wall Street Journal profile. [Hat tip: Refinery29]
Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen Wedding Dress Reviewed
Kate Middleton and Prince William got hitched today. Did you watch? Did you cry? Did you even care? Anyway, the most important part of this wedding (nay, any wedding) is the gown. The Duchess of Cambridge wore a dress by Sarah Burton, artistic director of Alexander McQueen, with a v-neck and lace long sleeves. (Hopefully, this will put a dent in the overplayed strapless gown market.) SFist asked StyleBistro Managing Editor Chloe Harris for her thoughts on Middleton's frock. Harris tells us: "Alexander McQueen was the rare genius who could make a gown both majestic and cutting-edge, so I was secretly hoping for a McQueen design. For me, Kate Middeton's gown lacked a bit of that raw but intricate drama that I love so much from McQueen, but I think Sarah Burton did a wonderful job of toeing the line between Kate's brand of simple chic and the majesty required of a royal wedding. It was a gown fit for a modern Grace Kelly."
Fatshion: Fat Lady Clothing Swap, 4/10
Vegansaurus founder and SFist contributor Laura Beck and Heather from SF Bar Experiment will host a clothing swap for plus-size ladies on April 10. It's called Fatshion and it's for folks who identify as female and are sizes 12 and up. So, please, don't bring your boyfriend. And chubby chasers? Please stay at home. This is a day for large-ish ladies coming together to swap fresh looks, eat Fat Bottom Bakery cupcakes, and sip champagne. OK? OK.
Brian Wilson Beard Watch: Code Dore-Alley
Egad. Brian Wilson, noted San Francisco Giants pitcher and Charlie Sheen sympathizer, sported an increasingly bushy beard over the weekend that is out of control. Just look at it. Look at it! It's unruly and unconditioned. Gone are the post-season days of trimmed facial hair and dapper head of hair. Now he looks like the guy stuck in front of you at the Dore Alley Fair. You know, the gentleman wearing a harness who's really hot, but also has a smattering of bacne and a noticeable lack of deodorant. Which then forces you onto less-crowded Howard Street. And then you're all, "Oh, fuck it. I'm too old for this shit. I'm going to the lobby of the St. Regis to get smashed on vespers like a real homo." He's like that guy.
Behold Tim Lincecum's New York Times Style Magazine Cover
Featuring an adorable cover shot of the two-time Cy Young Award winner, SF Giants star Tim Lincecum will appear in this week's T Magazine, the gray old lady's weekly style rag. You can find it in print or, better yet, online. On Sunday. Look for it.

Then, by all means, check out this comprehensive and palate cleansing review of Lindsay Lohan's courtroom styles, curated by StyleBistro Editor (and former SFist Style Editor) Chloé Harris and Associate Editor Alicia Dennis.

"Which of Lindsay's court ensembles do you like best?"
