QTips: GOP Debate and Bachmann's White Jacket

Last night's CNN GOP debate in Las Vegas was one of the most entertaining debates this season - in fact, entertaining is a far better descriptive than informative, because, aside from fences, illegals, and Obama, there weren't too many other words used last night.  Wayne Newton was an exciting edition to the debate, and Anderson Cooper's purple tie was very sharp and non-partisan.  Rick Perry and Mitt Romney gave us a wonderful dramatic interpretation of any Real Housewives Reunion (Mitt being NeNe, and Rick being Kim of course).  Herman Cain wasn't as outspoken as normal, but his soaring popularity kept him in the midst of the heated discussions.  Ron Paul impressed and scared us at the same time, and Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich both faded in and out, strategically being places on the far ends of the stage so that the cameras wouldn't have to pan pass them to get to the real contenders of the candidacy.

Lil Wayne's Pants at MTV VMA's: Get the Better Look

We can all agree that Lil Wayne's performance at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards was a bit strange.  First, there was the fact that he was lip syncing an auto-tuned track.. why would you need to both auto tune a song AND still lip sync to it?  Second, he pulled out the air guitar (anyone else realize it wasn't hooked up?) and strummed three notes and destroyed it.  Then, it was the pants... the pants that had everyone talking!  Pajamas, jeggings, panty hose; whatever they were, they were tight, leopard, of totally off trend.

Printed pants are on trend for this season, and for those that can afford high fashion selections, I would recommend the following non-animal printed options:

Alexander McQueen FW11

3.1 Philip Lim SS12

Loden Dager FW11

Libertine FW11
