Raiding Mom's Closet Is A Time-Honored Tradition

Jessica G. — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 16:30:00 EDT

New York Times "Thursday Styles" columnist Michelle Slatalla has a piece up today about her teen daughters surreptitiously stealing her clothes. I sort of disagree about her conclusion — that her daughters steal her clothes because they want to appear older and baby boomers wear youngish clothes because they fear aging (because hello, daughters have been playing dress up in moms' pumps forever!) — but I certainly understand the allure of a mother's closet. My own mom, who is generous in absolutely all other matters, guarded her boudoir with the snarled teeth of a junkyard dog. And for good reason: she had impeccable, expensive tastes in clothes, and did not want me getting my grubby mitts over her well-thought-out wares. More »

Be sure to check out the profile of the...

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:20:00 EDT

Be sure to check out the profile of the first true paparazzo, Ron Galella, from the Guardian. And don't forget the slideshow, which includes a snap of a young, pillow-lipped Angelina Jolie. Emily Nussbaum writes: "These days, Galella feels vindicated as an artist, a pioneer in a 'magic medium'. His prints are in MoMA, his books praised in the New York Times. He is a 'bandit of images', he says, quoting Fellini with the cheerful braggadocio he traces to his heritage." And you've gotta love the following great quote about voyeurism from Galella: "For me, it's the mystery. What's behind her clothes? What excites me is panty lines — and yet the women [today], they don't want no panty lines. To me, it's the sexiest thing."

Tom Ford: Designer, Provocateur, Film Director

Michelle And Jackie O: Twins Separated At Birth?

Jennifer — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 17:00:00 EST

Long before Ted Kennedy endorsed him for president, I've been telling anyone who'll listen that I think that Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, are the contemporary version of Camelot: Barack with his ability to connect with younger generations and inspire hope; Michelle with her formidable intelligence and graceful, sophisticated style. And though I suspect that the people in my life weren't always listening, everyone from the bloggers at Politico to the editors at Ebony agree with me, at least sartorially: Michelle is Jackie 2.0. After the jump, images of the late Jacqueline Kennedy and her doppelganger in design. More »

We Bet Caroline Kennedy Lets Her Daughter Eat The Cool-Whip She Was Denied

Moe — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 10:42:53 EDT

Jackie Kennedy was one of those moms who was always giving her daughter those pointed "are you utterly oblivious to the caloric content of that piece of bread or are you actually trying to sabotage the family name by allowing yourself to get so grotesquely big-boned" looks at the dinner table, a new book reveals.

"You're not going to order dessert, Caroline," Jackie O allegedly once sniped in a Paris restaurant, according to C. David Heymann's American Legacy: The Story of John And Caroline Kennedy. "You're much too fat. Nobody will ever want to marry you." An intervention by stepdaughter Christina Onassis earned Caroline a helping of cherry-flavored Jell-O, but without whipped cream on top.

Oh yum! Anyway, this comes as no surprise to us, since we read Teen Vogue, but why are hipbone-obsessed mothers so weirdly diabolical about their daughter's bodies? You'd think they'd want to spare the fruits of their undernourished wombs from the nonstop crazytown of the endless caloric balance sheet, no? More »
