You can always count on Andre Leon Talley to bring the high octang to any event. He showed up at the Vanity Fair party for the Tribeca Film Festival in his version of a suit, which is a blend of Michael Jackson circa Bad, the Russian military and a little dose of the West Village thrown in for good measure. And I’m sure that President Obama would be proud (snickering) to see ALT’s big ass First Family button on his chest. Coordinated with the rhinestoned buckled shoes, this dude is fierce!

Dwight Eubanks, the “breakout star” (snickers) of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has been doing all sorts of D-list appearances since the show. Most recently he hosted the 2009 Fashion & Style Honors awards. Now I don’t know what counts for fashionable and stylish in the ATL, but I’m guessing it’s not this here. Homeboy (or homegirl, depending on the day) and his no-pack chicken chest was spotted in a turtleneck-turned belly top which I haven’t seen since Blaine and Antoine on In Living Color, with some wrinkled-ass wide leg leather pants which some poor cow died in vain for. I’m not sure what’s going on with the string he made into a belt but I guess that’s just some creative ish I’m not up on yet. This whole picture has an overall aura of tangyness. At any moment I expect him to do three snaps in G formation. One guess what the G stands for…

Isn’t it ironic that just about every person on the red carpet for Bravo TV’s A-list awards is actually on the C-list or below? Tyson Beckford of America’s Next Top Model wannabe show Make Me a Supermodel strolled down the red carpet wearing this Easter bunny mess. Note to Tyson - when you want to try to squash rumors that you’re not gay, it helps to wear something, oh…I don’t know..not gay!!! Cause a white suit and pink, beaded necklace, deep V-neck tee and pink handkerchief are not thugged out options. Neither is a fake marriage to your beard that stylist from Candy Girls. We still don’t believe you and you still need more people.

My gaydar must be in need of a tune-up cause I never suspected any tang tendencies from Benny Medina. But if the Simon Cowell muscle shirt (unbuttoned to reveal that peasy curly chest hair) and polka-dot necktie aren’t a complete giveaway, I don’t know what is. The man who managed so many celebrity careers and garnered so much respect just lost it all with this get up. The shirt and scarf are just so suspect. I’m sure the dress code called for more than jeans and sneakers but Benny, a suit would have sufficed. And posing next to Gayle King doesn’t add any more points to your masculinity index either.

Wow, I thought Real’s (from I Love NY) luscious Cowardly lion locks were to die for but then I saw this pic of Lloyd and changed my mind. I love that Lloyd is (a) not afraid to rock the preferred picture day hairstyle of most third grade girls (ladies, you know you have a picture of you with the side twist/braid and one in the back - that was the ish back in the day!), and (b) not afraid to pose with a drag queen model who looks more masculine than you. That takes cojones!

And let’s not leave Jade out. I mean, she is the undiscovered supermodel. I see she got a new wig (must be a trend among Top Model rejects these days) and a sequinned minidress so now you really can’t tell her nothin! As if we could before. Boy Girl, you fierce!

Why am I having sudden flashbacks of Prince and Vanity/Appollonia? I would say Ryan Leslie is the new mini tangmaster except he can’t quite sing and drop draws like Prince used to. Anyway, he’s trying. Cassie’s former lover is now after her even younger lookalike, Chanel Iman. The two of them look cute together, I must admit. Her dress and baggy fringed boots are hot, and his look aint too bad either. But note to Chanel, you should never date a guy who wears his pants tighter than you. Just sayin…
