- God bless Vivienne Westwood for being so undeniably herself. Says the fashion designer-cum-philosopher: "I'd like to do less, but there are people dependent on me now. My thing has always been, just let me finish this pair of trousers and then I can read my book. We've all got to wear something, I suppose. So my advice would be to buy quality. Choose well. I think there's a certain status in seeing someone wearing the same thing over and over again." [Vogue UK]
- God bless Heidi Klum. She's just so wise: "[Take] time out for yourself so you can engage in an activity that you really enjoy. [Also, don't] neglect the romance in your life. [And] wear pretty lingerie if you don't want to feel schlumpy." [Vogue UK]
- God bless Donatella Versace for saying at the Times Talks on Sunday that her fashion motto is "Don't let the rappers wear more bling than you do!" and that she hopes to be reincarnated as Maya Rudolph. [Fashion Week Daily]
- God bless Agent Provocateur co-founder Joe Corre (who is, incidentally, also the son of Vivienne Westwood) for making his brand's latest advertising campaign, fronted by Kate Moss, actually about his feelings of disdain regarding the Vatican and Catholicism. The apple clearly does not fall far from the tree. [NYMag]
- God bless the Project Runway producers for sticking to their guns and maintaining contracts with NBC rather than following their bastardized show to Lifetime. [Yahoo]
- God bless Burberry for not using Agyness Deyn in its next advertising campaign. [Fashionista]
- God bless Jack White and Karen Elson for seemingly non-stop sex. [Globe and Mail]
- God bless model/tsunami survivor Petra Nemacova for making big money in real estate. [Page Six]
- God bless Margerita Missoni for deigning to look at apartments in Alphabet City, NYC. [Fashionista]
- God bless Giorgio Armani for sorta slighting the Met when talking about last night's Costume Institute Gala: "The superheroes theme is both topical and modern and will, I believe, attract a wider audience than usual to the Costume Institute. I am looking forward to welcoming everyone." (Let us not forget in his first press conference regarding the exhibit, he managed to insult Anna Wintour.) [Vogue UK]
- God bless alice+olivia designer Stacey Bendet, who is reportedly pregnant with baby number one. [Page Six]

Hey, Donatella? I take back those snippy remarks about your spraytan. I think I love you a little. Or maybe I'm simply blinded and struck dumb by your gigantic assortment of sparkly blingy accoutrements.
Oh hey! I wrote about the Versace thing on Sunday. I think there should be a link to mah blog on my commenter page. In case y'all wanna find out what she said about the President and Hillary and Obama.
cause you should support your ladysisterfriends :-P
just in case the link is not there, since i cant ever see it

"Don't let the rappers wear more bling than you do" is Donatella's motto? What an inspiration this woman is!
Let's not forget that Giorgio Armani dressed both the Cruises and the Crowes (the Russells, that is) for their weddings. He is dependent on the celeb rag trade, so if he starts dissing the Costume Institute and Anna Wintour, they can both say pot kettle black.
Jack White's from a family of ten, so it looks like they're planning on a similar platoon of eccentric genius babies.
Thank you NBC. Project Runway between Reba and Army Wives just did not sit well with me. NOW...someone please tell me God is blessing Elle and the Marie Claire involvement is bs.
@ineffable.me: No! NO! Ineffable! NO!
Profile link: yes
Post link: NO.
That goes for everyone, btw.
Don't you mean to thank Jack White and Karen Elson for non-stop vampire sex?
@ineffable.me: You're not supposed to do that, sweetie.
@hortense: i'm sorry!
i just clicked on my profile and i couldnt see the link!
(also i thought it was ok if it was related?)
@blackbirdfly: well not her motto in life. they asked her if she had anything similar to coco chanel's "take something off before you leave the house" and thats what she said.
@KLondike5: yes, Jack, his "sister" Meg and the other little Whites.
God bless us everyone.
Ooh, Armani's got balls to step to Anna. Maybe he and Rachel Zoe can become some kind of over-tanned Wintour-fighting team. There's your superheroes!
I want to BE Vivienne Westwood. Everytime I see her she's wearing something I totally want to wear. Also I'm already redhead but I want to dye my hair ASTONISHING CHEETO ORANGE. And then march around in a matching dress. Siiiiigh.
God Bless Donatella?
More like "bless her heart".
Such as.
@ineffable.me: The first comment you posted was okay, but blog pimpage in the post is frowned upon, as it directs the discussion elsewhere.
Also: if we let one person pimp a personal blog in a post, we'll have a ton of candyonthecape bullshit going on. And then nobody wins.
And god bless Heidi for using the word "schlumpy" and confirming my prediction that 40 years from now she'll be baking mandelbrot and wearing her crazy-old-lady-long hair in braids crossed on top of her head and nagging Seal about keeping that blanked wrapped around his feet so he doesn't catch cold and pulling Christian Siriano aside because he's got a little schmutz that she'll lick a used tissue to dap off. Um, I guess I just really love the word "schlumpy."
@hortense: fair enough. lesson learned.
NO ONE CLICK ON THAT LINK.
@PICKLES IN MY TUNA: But not you, Rachel Zoe. Nope! Not you!
@Macloserboy: ah dude, i know we are cool, but dont call me sweetie! :)
Vivienne Westwood, would the status bestowed upon people who wear their clothes multiple times be "middle class"?
Margerita Missoni, I'll be your roommate if you need someone to split the rent!
Oh thank Jeebus that the Magical Elves are staying with NBC. Because I would die a little if Top Chef was produced by anyone else--they know how to tell a good story with amazing production values.
Project Runway, it was nice watching you.
@hortense: There's candy?
@bellethellama: WHOA WHOA...Is PR going to Lifetime or no, I'm confused.
I so love Maya Rudolph...And I love her mother more...
@hortense, BAngieB: And capes??
@tashatakeadive: The show is going to Lifetime, but the producers are sticking with their contracts at NBC.
@BAngieB: @Begorrah: Not anymore!
@tashatakeadive: The Magical Elves are the producer masterminds behind PR, Top Chef and a host of other shows, and they are not following PR to Lifetime if the show is able to make the jump. Which means that my precious Top Chef is still in the right hands.
Donatella has succeeded on both counts, no?
God Bless Vivienne Westwood, for making me feel less like a one-trick pony and more like I've got status for wearing the same outfits to work week after week.
I've decided I'm going to take the advice of both Vivienne Westwood and Heidi Klum and meld them together. I will from now on be only buying and wearing quality pretty lingerie...all the time and nothing else. Dropping the kids off at school, grocery shopping, charity events, doctors appointments, Home depot, just everywhere. And according to ol' Viv I'll gain a certain status when other people see me wearing the same thing over and over again. "look at Pickles in that I.D. Sarrieri Bustier again, that bitch."
I love that Vivienne Westwood's beauty icon is clearly Queen Elizabeth I, only with 21st century outfits.
I have a HUGE crush on Alice + Olivia right now. I bought one of their dresses for a wedding and I feel like a fairy in it.
A fairy with wings, that is, not chaps.
Another God bless to Agent Provacateur for allowing--scratch that--INSISTING that their lingerie models have pubic hair. THANK YOU. (PS, their website is clearly NSFW)
@scbelle: Seriously. I hope I can afford that stuff someday. I love looking at their site. Not at work, though....
@tashatakeadive: Also, it's my understanding that there will be ONE more season on Bravo; the move to lifetime will be after that...
@Archetype: Sigh. I know. I have such an appetite for expensive lingerie. Pity I don't believe in credit card debt when I LOVE AP/La Perla...
@tashatakeadive: Yes, but as scbelle said, one more season on Bravo. The producers are not following the show to Lifetime, though.
I feel sick.
I will use "schlumpy" for ever and ever.
