Peter Davis' Status Update: Top Five Fashion Freakazoids of 2009
By Peter Davis

In my style bible, the freakier the better. In the next decade, the freaks shall inherit the earth. Presenting my top five fashion freakazoids of 2009.
Daphne Guinness: No one teeters in Alexander McQueen lobster claw shoes or pulls off alien-like couture at 10 a.m. the way Daphne does. At least now we can smell like the brewskie heiress and Steven Klein muse -- Comme des Garcons has a scent called Daphne, created by the fashion icon herself. Freaky never smelled so sweet.

Terence Koh: The talented, provocative artist favors all-white (he should take over Martin Margiela's recently vacated design post) looks. The Terence Koh white on white Converse high top sold out in one day at Opening Ceremony.
Shauna Sand: The Playboy playmate and Lorenzo Lamas' ex wife is a model/mom who wears platform Lucite stripper shoes while driving a Segway. 'Nuff said.

BryanBoy: A walking mélange of the most outrageous designer pieces, the Filipino blog-boy wonder has a section on his site called: "me, myself and moi" and a Marc Jacobs ostrich bag named after him.

Beth Ditto: The lead singer of Gossip looks like Pebbles Flinstone on acid (thank her pal Jeremy Scott) and is one of the loudest supporters of gay rights. If only Beth Ditto were president...

Did you omit Lady Gaga from this list because it is so obvious that she is a fashion freakazoid?
