I sang the entire Gainsbourg 5:55 album to myself in the mirror last night while drunk.

True story.

She could shill for anything (except Wal-Mart) and I would still love her.

@Penny: I am jealous of your drunken memory. I would shout "AAHM CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG and then fall over. Kudos!

@Penny: "5:55"--Air wrote all the songs on that album, right? (Look at us, Penny dear, dating ourselves by calling these things "albums.." Ha!) Very charming Euro muzak, but I still think "Lemon Incest" is Mme. Gainsbourg's finest pop music moment yet.

@snugbug: Yes I believe they produced the album and wrote some, if not all, of the songs.

Is calling albums "albums" dated?? So retro!

@BlondeGoddess: Really! The Balenciaga campaign should dovetail nicely with her role of grief-stricken mom and homicidal wife in the latest Larsie von Trier flick. According to some Cannes fest-related crap I read, the MPAA is demanding that von Trier re-cut the film, because as is, they won't even release it with an NC-17 rating.. Knowing how mule-ish von Trier is about final cut (and good for him), this might actually mean the film will never land in U.S. theaters.. =(

@snugbug: What happened to freedom of speech (or similar)? People are old enough to make their own choices to see a movie or not without the MPAA censoring. Crap.

RE: "Miguel Adrover's 2001 MeetEast collection"

Thanks for reminding me of this guy.. Is he still in the shmata trade? A real artist, IMHO. I was so moved by one of his pieces back in 2000--an overcoat he crafted out of the cover of a mattress on which his friend/neighbor Quentin Crisp had ailed and died. A poetic gesture wrought in fabric--although I can see whyit might've sent consumers + critics screaming into the woods.

After Emma Watson's masterly put down of perfume-shilling the other day, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Julia R-R seem so, well, uncool by comparison, no?

@Diziet_Sma: She's just modeling for the campaign though, it's not 'stupidly named perfume' BY Charlotte Gainsbourg. I think that's what Watson was getting at. I could be totally wrong though.

"The people I chose to run my new store in London are nice. I cannot work with bitches, I can't, I can't."

You and me both, buddy...though is he saying they're untalented? I don't think talent and non-bitchery are mutually exclusive. It's kind of a destructive mental construct to have.

Nicolas Ghesquière picked the intolerably cool Charlotte Gainsbourg to advertise Balenciaga's perfume.

This makes me happy. I am going to go on a mission to find these ads and make a scrapbook. And also do my best to not think of Anti Christ during said mission.
