    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?

    @remedios: although frankly it would be refreshing if the denizens of Williamsburg, Brooklyn started dressing like those of Colonial Williamsburgh, VA. half the dudes already have appropriate facial hair.

    @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...

    In reply to Bring Back Old Marc; Michael Kors Answers Important Questions About His Sex Life
    Is it only appalling to me that Vanity Fair actually asked Kors whether he's a top or bottom?

    What other kind of person could be asked that question and not feel totally violated?

    (Also: what if he doesn't have anal sex?)

    Can you imagine Vanity Fair asking, say, DVF whether she liked regular or reverse cowgirl?

    Or is gay sex so wound up in identity politics as to make this an integral factor of any real interview of a gay man?

    In reply to Banana Republic Partners With Mad Men; Watch & Learn With Chanel Couture
    I think Madmen is to some degree diluting their brand by partnering with Banana Republic. I like the clothes style too, but it's a little too Disney or Harry Potter Warner Bros marketing for me. Buy products which allow you to live in your fictional fantasy world! In the NYT piece they also refer to a Madmen inspired NYC trip. I love Madmen. The world is presents, however, is meant to be criticized, not emulated. Do the racist and misogynist attitudes come all inclusive in this travel package?

    Ladies, BR is owned by Gap Inc, and you know how Gap feels about their higher-end brands and ladies of the curvaceous persuasion. They'd NEVER do Joan dresses-- they can't even get curvy jeans right, why would they attempt dresses that curve in multiple places?

    @Ipomoea is a joyful girl: It's funny; I consider myself "curvy" and Banana Republic fits me much better than Gap. I think that the tailoring helps me out and the flimsy nature of the Gap only highlights any "flaws" rather than highlighting assets.

    The Chanel video was fascinating. I'd definitely watch a documentary about the formation of a dress from beginning to end (formation of fabric to runway).
