Ru!
eBay View Gallery

Many of us first heard the name Jason Wu when he created those RuPaul dolls last decade and they sold like hotcakes. Page Six reported today that Ru was an early inspiration to the designer, who originally assumed he was really a she. "Later, of course, I found out that it was a man. But he was so tall and glittery and impressive, with the big hair...You know, a fashion-obsessed boy would be into that." Want to get your paws on your very own Wu for Ru doll? eBay has quite a selection of "vintage" Ru by Wu dolls available now with reasonable starting bids. You better work.

Last night, Novis designer Jordana Warmflash hosted a cocktail party on the sundeck of the Gansevoort Park Avenue celebrating Tony-nominated actress Annaleigh Ashford from Kinky Boots. We sat down with new gal pals Jordana and Annaleigh to discuss their summer plans and fashion faves…

How do you two know each other?
Jordana Warmflash: We have actually been dressing Annaleigh for the whole Tonys award season.
Annaleigh Ashford: Every single outfit! Even tonight! Her clothes are so beautiful! They are fresh and contemporary and chic, with a nod to a vintage style!

Summer wardrobe must-have?
JW: Havaiana flip-flops for running around the garment district!
AA: I would have to say a ponytail holder! I know that may sound strange, but I just need my hair off of my neck.

Summer bucket list, please! 
JW: I actually already crossed one off: I rode five rollercoasters at Six Flags New England last week!
AA: I’m getting married! I'm so excited! If only I knew Jordana earlier; she’d be designing my wedding dress right about now.

Vogue hilariously brought Katy Perry to a chicken coop in Southern California for her first maje feature with them. This shot has the undeniable stamp of Annie Leibovitz written all over it, and was styled by Tonne Goodman. The shocker in the piece is the "Fireworks" singer telling writer Vicki Woods that she hasn't heard from Russell Brand since he texted her in 2011 wanting a divorce. Ouch. She also opens up about John Mayer, saying: “Beautiful mind, tortured soul. I do have to figure out why I am attracted to these broken birds.” Double ouch.
