This Is Not The Marc Jacobs You're Used To Seeing At Fashion Week
Since it’s the last day of New York Fashion Week and Throwback Thursday, it’s only right that we reach back into our style archives and pull out something special for y’all!
Behold, Marc Jacobs circa 2006:
Amazing, right? This is definitely not the health-buff Marc we all know and love today. I snapped this picture of the fashion designer nine years ago, right before the Heatherette Fall 2006 show. I was totally star struck, but he was gracious enough to let me take the photo. Plus, I secretly took a picture of his friend showing his support (or obsession) for Marc with “MJ” shaved into the side of his head.
In case you were wondering what Marc looks like now — here he is in September 2014 at his Marc by Marc Jacobs show. #MindBlown

Pat Robertson Suggests Companies Will Be Forced To Cater To Man-Dog Weddings
Conservative televangelist Pat Robertson slammed a Washington state judge’s ruling that a florist’s refusal to provide flowers for a gay couple’s wedding had violated local anti-discrimination laws.
Robertson, who has made no secret of his opposition to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights in the past, condemned the decision as “just outrageous” and “crazy” in an installment of “The 700 Club” this week, according to Right Wing Watch.
He asked, “To tell a florist that she’s got to provide flowers for a particular kind of wedding? What if somebody wanted to marry his dog? She’s got to have flowers for that?”
Robertson then went on to note, “What if there’s a polygamous situation where a guy has five wives and he wants to have five ceremonies and she’s going to be forced by the law to provide them flowers?”
Bakeries, florist shops and other wedding-related venues have become an unlikely battleground for marriage equality and other LGBT-related issues in recent years.
On Feb. 2, the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries ruled that Sweet Cakes by Melissa owners Aaron and Melissa Klein had similarly violated their state’s anti-discrimination laws when they turned away a lesbian couple who had sought a cake for their wedding in 2013.
On the flip side, Marjorie Silva, who owns Denver’s Azucar Bakery, is now reportedly facing a religious discrimination complaint after she refused to bake a cake decorated with phrases like “God hates gays” written in icing.

Two Nice Jewish Boys Post Pic Of Their Unicorn Wedding Entrance, Internet Goes Wild
As far as wedding themes go, unicorns have to rank somewhere at the top of the list after drag and before Sir Ian McKellen officiating.
For one gay Jewish couple, the choice was obvious — ride in on a unicorn, blow everyone’s minds. So that’s what they did (which might be a Modern Family reference), and this photo surfaced shortly thereafter:
Just look at that woman’s face on the right. Pure joy. Like all her girlhood dreams all just came true.
But as is almost always the case, the internet took the photo and ran (galloped?), and we’d be remiss if we didn’t give some top-notch captions a proper shoutout.
Here are our favorites:
- Looks like they have a… stable relationship.
- In the least derogatory way possible, that is as gay as it gets.
- Now I want to see a gay Hindu wedding where they ride in on an elephant dressed like a wooly mammoth.
- “Tonight, we ride.”
- Did no one else get the Friends reference here? The old lady’s gone! She’s no longer haunting Phobe! She’s seen it all!
- … so unicorn is kosher?
- Jewnicorn… anyone? Ok I’ll go…
- Those are some good looking Jews.
- Hmm. Kinda thought they would ride bareback….
- How brokeback mountain should of ended.
- 50 shades of neigh
- FAKE! Everyone knows unicorns aren’t Jewish!
- Is that unicorn horn circumcised?
