    I just got really confused. My name is Jenna and my daughter's name is Sadie, and I thought perhaps we had gone Rodarte touching in our sleep last night. Phew, crisis averted.

    Unrelated to the topic but related to something in Jenna's post I don't get-- Why is Williamsburg now codeword for hipster? How did it become something of a hipster mecca? Is this Williamsburg, Virginia, the colonial town?

    @sportz.star: I've always thought that "Williamsburg Hipsters Set Adrift In Colonial Williamsburg" would be a generative concept for possibly the beat reality TV show ever. Call it "Williamsburg Crossing" and get Attenborough to do the narration.

    @Jenna: Oh god, Attenborough. That is awesome. Course if he was narrating it would need a naturalist survival of the fittest theme. Brooklyn hipsters surviving with colonial tools in Colonial Williamsburg. Much like KidsNation, or whatever that was, only with highly educated and highly inept hipsters. It would be brilliant.

    What are you doing???

    @J.D.Regent: I used to do the back of my pixie cut with a Bic razor, running it down sections of hair to thin it out and shorten it at the same time. It is was more forgiving than the scissors...

    I would have been more impressed if Michelle had worn an Alaia to the Met Museum instead of the Met Opera House. It would have been like sticking it to the man after Alaia not being included in the Model's show.

    Valentino holds nothing to the way Mary McCarthyite lives:


    A thermostat that I cannot control in any season; the hum of the RFK Bridge outside my open windows; and un-uniformed chambermaid (self) quaffing Brita-filtered tap water from hand-me-down glasses.


    I live in a Hansel and Gretel apartment. I don't even have toaster!

    I've always preferred the Kelly to the Birkin. It's more tailored. (Not that I will ever own either, although I do have a vintage bag that is a vague knock-off of the Kelly).

    I cannot get my head around owning 100 Birkins! They're not even that nice! At least pick something like a 2.55, then again she does have rather questionable taste.

    @nessalicious: It's about the history, luxury, and tradition with Hermes. Aesthetically, they might not be your thing...but there's the hand-stitching, craftmanship, made-to-order, customization etc. is the stuff of legends.

    @IrockIroll: I know about the background of Hermes, but the Birkin, to me is just such a yawnsome bag. I'd much prefer to have one of their amazing custom made bags, did you ever see the one they made to hold an apple? It was amazing.


    @bleedingmouths: I agree, sometimes you can love the background but hate the item. I find this true with a lot of fashion designers and looks. I especially dislike the look of a YSL 'le smoking' but I understand that it was a beautiful and revolutionary outfit but god it's unflattering!

    @dreamweave: Yeah ... I'm trying to justify by thinking of the nice old French leather workers in the Hermes factory (I assume they're nice, old and French, anyway) she's single-handedly supporting with her habit ... but hmm, still not so sure about this being an efficient use of resources.


    Perhaps she could keep buying 'em, but then auction off one a month and donate the dough to struggling fashion students/soccer leagues for disadvantaged youth/some other apropos and deserving charity ... that would be a cool recessionista move.
