I was watching this last night, and the bf walked in the room when she said "I literally DIED twice" regarding the Chanel show. Now he is using literally in every sentence.
"I literally just died brushing my teeth, TWICE".
"I literally just walked down the stairs, and SHUT IT DOWN".
I really want Andre the Giant to appear from behind a rack of clothes and after each"'literally" say, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
This montage leaves out the BEST thing about the episode -- Taylor's look-alike, indoor-sunglasses-wearing mom!
Actually, I can't believe Taylor has parents. I thought she just emerged, fully formed like Aphrodite but grouchier, from the ocean or a pile of clothes at a high-end boutique.
When she said Marc Jacobs was her best friend, his attitude seemed a more like "very fond acquaintance"..
That was a pretty entertaining episode, lots of Parisian eye candy. I know she's very successful, but Zoe seems to spend like a fiend. Hotel George V, Hermès (that was a pretty great bracelet for Taylor)..
I only watched this show in passing last night, but I realized that I could never do what Rachel does if it requires that much kissing up to designers.
Seeing all of her kissing up mad me 'literally' want to die! Literally.
@TheFormerJuneBronson: One day, a coworker of mine ran to the bank and when she came back, she told me that she's just never looks at her balance, but this time she did and noticed that she's 'literally' broke. Apparently, she realized that she only has 18K left in her checking account.
I LITERALLY almost punched her.
Okay, so what determines if she says LIT-rally or literally? 'Cus she bounces back and forth. I'm thinking the more pretentious she's feeling, the more she goes for the LIT-rally.
I love the debate over literally! I have had this argument many times and the fact of the matter is it is now accepted that the word can be used both ways. And to back it up Webster's dictionary: [www.merriam-webster.com]
@ZemarSea Urchin: Oh and here is a lovely essay by Jesse Shiedlower from Slate with a great explanition of its uses in literature in both the literal and figurative use: [www.slate.com]
I think I'm more looking forward to the Fanny Brawne movie (mistress of John Keats). But the Coco Chanel should be interesting-- I'd like to read a bio of her at some point.
@Ailatan: YES! Thanks, forgot the name. I wonder if I've built up enough credit with my boyfriend by playing Halo and watching football to drag him to it? Hmm...let the negotiations begin.
I wonder how accurate the film is going to be. Most things I've read about this woman don't have her colored in the most flattering light. She wasn't a very good person. Especially during the occupation.
@curiousgeorgiana: Yeah, she had an affair with a nazi which (very understandably) decreased her popularity. She was arrested by the French Resistance forces.
She worked with a Jewish family that she wasn't fond of (they kind of screwed her, but she was pretty stupid to let it happen), and during the occupation she wrote a letter denouncing them to the nazis (but they already left for NY).
She was an awful person.
@curiousgeorgiana: It probably won't get up to the occupation if it "ends too soon" and is mostly just talking about her beginning and her "rise", yeah?
@greengrey: I wonder whether it's possible to create an accurate biopic of Chanel. Wasn't she famous for weaving stories about her life that rang false?

And also, I was in stitches when she was on the verge of fainting while digging through the boxes of shoes after the Galliano show.

"Is the recession over yet?" Bwahaha. Oh, Zoe.

I'm just waiting for a dress to be 'literally bananas'. Like, made of bananas.
