    That anti-pap bag is actually quite cute. But does it still work if you've phoned the papers ahead of time to tell them you're going to the Ivy?

    The Supes are unstoppable.


    When they are 112, I will still buy Vogues if they grace the covers. One because they are fab, two to annoy all the designers who hired those faceless models after them as backlash.

    (If your clothes can't stand up to the fabulousness of the model, don't blame the model - go back and do your work again. Vivienne and the Versaces seem to understand.)

    But mostly because they are fab.


    I agree with Patricia about Kristin's figure. There's some cultural mess going on there, and I do like A-line skirts, but I don't have the strength to do the whole argument today. *sniffle*


    Love the idea of that anti-pap handbag, but I bet some photographer sues from a flash in the eye.

    I can't imagine a Bettie Page look actually working for Charlotte, personally. For Kristin Davis, sure, but Charlotte was as WASPy and conventional as they come. Ralph Lauren and A-line skirts suited her.

    @Ratinski: So I guess the argument is, was Kristin arguing b/c the clothes better suited the character, or was she arguing because she didn't like her own body? Because frankly, I'm not feeling the former so much.

    @Rooo sez BISH PLZ: Oh, I'm sure she was at least PARTIALLY arguing because she didn't like her ass, but the "Ralph Lauren" part of the statement makes me think that at least part of it was also for the character.

    Shane Ritchie forgets to mention that a person discriminated against in the workplace on the grounds of their disability, can potentially seek substantial punitive damages. Being turned down because you don't look like a supermodel is just hard cheese. Abercrombie and Fitch were stupid to allow such a flagrant breach of the relevant Disability Duscrimination Act.

    Oh Mr. Blahnik, platforms aren't that bad. Sometimes a platform is the only thing keeping me from getting my pants hemmed properly. (Really it's just because I am too lazy and it isn't the easiest to find the right length pants.)

    I've notice the old school models getting more and more work.


    Personally I think it's weird to see a 16 year old model a $1500 suit or anything actually, in magazines that are marketed to women.

    @nyc-caribbean-ragazza: Absolutely. If Naomi and Linda are rocking it, I'm probably going to break my head to try to look good in a downmarket version of it too, whatever it is.


    (And probably the real Kenneth Lane jewelry or whatever if I can find it on sale. And whatever lipstick those girls are selling, whenever.)


    Some 14-y-o person? Not so much.

    Yay, a post for all us "olds"! Kristen MC M was one of the COOLEST uber models back in the day. Her look was gorgeously unconventional.

    I am completely on board for all these women making a strong resurgence in their 40's.

    How awesome would it be to be revered for being over 40 as opposed to what has been the case.

    And this is a problem, because...?

    Jezebel, always focusing on what they can complain about. It seems that the brand of feminism touted here is NOT okay with women doing whatever they want, but here to supply yet another snark-tinged set of ideals by which to judge one's own and others lives.

    Just because a certain aesthetic appeals to people doesn't mean they are completely ignorant of history.

    I totally agree with LacyBones. Jesus, Jezebels.


    '"The Modern Pinup" seems, in its postmodern obliviousness, to take what it wanted of the era and conveniently forget the rest.'


    THAT'S THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT!


    Romanticizing the past for fun isn't a crime against feminism.


    Sorry to say it, but I'm finding Jezebel content growing less and less poignant/relevant by the day. It's bordering on blather and I'm starting to get pissed. Not to mention bored.


    Step it up a notch ladies. We're not brain dead and we're not lady haters. Stop talking to us like you're our pretentious freshman Womyn Studies tutor.
