    Sorry this is a major, er, pet peeve of mine:

    Elle MacPherson's lab/poodle mix, Bella

    There, fixed that.

    @labeled: I'm not saying they're not cute, but giving mixes "official" names leads people to believe that these dogs are somehow more special than the mixed breed dogs found at every dog shelter in the country and there's some reason to pay $3000 to a puppy mill or backyard breeder for them. I've got a mutt, I love him to death, I adopted him from a pound.

    @BrutallyHonestBabes (aka Mrs. Sarah.of.a.Lesser.Hobbit): When I read the plot of the Twilight books on Wikipedia (I figured that would be a faster and more literary way of learning the plot), and got to 'Renesmee', I laughed so hard that I snorted tea.

    As a middle American, I get a little touchy when people like Amber Valetta (coast dwellers, as I call them) talk about how nice it is. Like, I am glad on one hand that she isn't perpetuating the odd idea that everyone in the Midwest is an ignorant oaf with shrines to Palin and questionable ideas about evolution, but on the other hand it seems a little bit pandering.

    Note that I haven't discounted the theory that I am just a total ass who will not give anyone a break. That is entirely possible (Possible now means probable).

    See, my dog is adorable and very photogenic but she's a mutt and no dog line (and I'm talking something substantial like Orvis, not a prissy-pupster-in-pink clothing line) would ever use her.

    MUTTS ARE CUTE TOO, you know. And less likely to have bone structure issues and genetic diseases!

    However, if you can find me any evidence of "bone structure and genetic diseases" being less likely in mutts than purebred dogs I'd like to see it.

    Right. A dog is officially better looking than I am and makes lots of money because of it. If they give that dog a PhD, I am throwing myself in traffic.

    Only $98? Why don't I own a pair of Uggs already!?

    Oh, that's right. Because they're ugly. And they smell after you wear them three times. And for $98, I could get three dresses, six new pairs of underwear, a new umbrella and a goldfish.

    Bucking the recession, Elle MacPherson's labradoodle, Bella, has been signed as the body of canine fashion line Dogside.com, for a "substantial five-figure sum."

    That sound you hear is me sobbing into my student loans.

    I can't believe you covered the Daphne Guinness interview in today's WWD and DIDN'T reprint this awesome exchange:
    WWD: "How would you describe your style?"
    DG: "Regular. Stuff that fits."
    WWD: "But you're wearing 7 inch platforms."

    Daphne Guinness describes Daphne as a 'woodsy and kind of jasmine-y, tuberose-y, sort of thing' which sounds like another Fracas knockoff.

    Do models usually get to see themselves/their pics while the shoot is taking place? Or is this an exception for the likes of giselle?

    @kwyshatz: Assuming the shoot is digital -- and most are -- then yes. You see it all. The take flashes up on a monitor as the photographer is shooting. However, it's considered bad form to look at the monitor during breaks without being invited -- some photographers find that presumptuous, I guess. When I started, however, it was particularly helpful as a way to learn how things were reading on the camera. Later, you kind of get a sense of that. I imagine Gisele, with her level of experience, has little interest in the monitor.

    All well and good to have organic, paraben-free cosmetics, but claims of carcinogenic ingredients based on nothing in particular annoy the hell out of me. Ooooh...they're chemicals. Unless you can prove something, it's better to just STFU because otheriwse it just makes people with legitimate claims look as ditsy as you.
