I'm assuming Kate Moss's Vintage perfume smells like mothballs and that undefinable Goodwill smell that prevents me from spending more than a minute in any thrift store.
Gorgeous, inspiring ad. It reminds me of pulp science fiction stories from the 40s and 50s. (Although the LV bag does look a bit out of place.)
Also, swans are vicious buggers. One tried to take off my foot, but luckily I managed to move faster than him. I did get some great photographs of him looking graceful and serene, though.
Having just bought 6 more vintage hats from 1910 to the 1940s in recent weeks, I confidently expect to oust Carla Bruni from her perch as best hat wearer next year. Mind you, I had to smile at the idea that someone based in Luton should be setting themselves up as the arbiter of fashion savoir.UK Jezebels of a certain age will forever remember the advert featuring a cockney girl asked by an English toff whether she had wafted in from paradise. "Nah, Luton airport!" she replies.
Swans/geese are the WORST. You look at those fuckers wrong and they LUNGE AT YOU LIKE SOME JURASSIC PARK SHIT. Seriously, they are like mean little velociraptors. They will fuck. your. shit. up. I hate them. I HATE THEM.
I looked at those pictures of Lily Cole. Can't the girl go out of the house with a ring on any finger she likes and not get crap about how she is attention-seeking or a crap student?
I know, I know- I'm not surprised at the Daily Mail but it seems pretty little to make it across the pond.
Also- Oilily filed for bankruptcy. I'm so, so NOT sad. I was tired of overpriced mother/daughter patchwork velvet spats.
"Swans, they are the meanest animals in the world, you know. I had problems with them as a child. They hate children. I was caught by one, so I know. The idea of swans is lovely, and they have a beautiful shape, but they seem more romantic than they in fact are. I don't think really they die like this. They just drop dead, hmm? But who wants to see that?"
No comment, I just wanted to reread that. Crazy, wonderful Karl.
@lilbobbytables: I've been tearful for the past 36 hours about the murder of George Tiller, but the mental image of Karl being 'caught' by a malevolent swan made me giggle.
"A study in the U.K. found that while women make up 52% of the fashion industry's workforce, they are paid 15% less than their male counterparts, and have only 37% of the top job"
@pond-side-over: When I was fifteen I went on a summer trip to the Netherlands, and there were many swans. When i came home and informed my family that swans are vicious and that they can and have broken people's arms they all mocked me mercilessly, claiming I had a paranoid fear of swans. Now they'll see. Karl knows.
@pond-side-over: I was attacked by a swan once while having a picnic. SCARY SHIT. 'Drop dead, sucker' I said. 'no need to dance around the issue, that sandwich is MINE'
Hooray for epaulets! Seriously. I have a mad-obsession for epaulets with crazy gaudy decor - Brandon Flowers knocks me dead with FEATHER epaulets...yes, FEATHERS!
