    Didn't plaid come from Scottish clans? How can anyone copyright something that was created centuries ago? #aliciakeys

    @shanASS: There are lots and lots of tartan patterns, most of them invented recently or just a couple of centuries ago.
    Lots of Scottish national symbols are pretty manufactured (I say that as a half Scot). #aliciakeys

    Oh my fucking G! I saw a Rodarte for Target dress in Glamour and it was RIDICULOUS! I don't know if they will make them large enough to fit my fat ass but I am tempted just to buy it in order to fondle it in my closet from time to time. #aliciakeys

    Tom Ford and my former best-friend in college are apparently two petits pois in a pod.

    She too was a raging francofile before she embarked on a junior-year study-abroad adventure in France. But her experience in the olde country traumatized her to no end. She loathed how narrow the roads were, how cramped the apartments were, she hated that French people smoked everywhere, she hated how university courses were held in huge halls with amphitheater seating, she hated, hated, hated everything with incandescent fury. One of her major peeves, as I recall, was that people wouldn't obsessively brush their teeth after a meal. I believe she had a nervous breakdown once when she went on a dinner date with a French boy who ate garickly snails, smoked a cigarette and then attempted to kiss her.

    A bit of-thread, I guess, but maybe somewhat educational to francofiles who expect La Patrie to be this endless field of lavender blossoms where attractive people bounce around and frolic with unicorns. #aliciakeys

    @BlondeGoddess: I was merely recounting a tale of An American in Paris, as it was passed down to me. In my personal experience on the terrain, many of these things are true, but not bothersome. Au contraire, they're charming to me and just part of what makes France France and the French French. Though I'm European-born to begin with and would never imagine that living in France resembles a chapter from "A Movable Feast."

    I guess I was trying to illustrate by way of anecdote that many Americans often have this fantasy mental landscape of France beforehand, and then get disillusioned when the reality doesn't match it. I obviously failed.

    Tom Ford shaving off his eyebrows in a mescaline-induced fit is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. It's heartening to know that even fashion icons can succumb to hallucinogen and their magical power of persuasion. Now excuse me while I go back to laughing uncontrollably at that image. #gettypic

    @RenoMartini: Major LOL! I remember when Trovata sued Forever 21 for knocking off their duds--a total laugh riot, because Trovata was (still is? I believe those four foxy surfer boys called it quits a while back) a knock-off label par excellence. #gettypic

    Diane Von Furstenberg dropped a few dresses off with Ikram Goldman during a recent trip to Chicago. We all know what that means!
    Can someone please elaborate, because we don't all know what that means. She's getting them dry cleaned?
