    Christian Louboutin has created a special carrier bag that includes a bottle of champers and a crystal champagne flute shaped like a stiletto. The package, known as Le Rituel, costs $500, and you can watch a 3-minute film about it here.

    The fuck? #olsentwins

    I hope that they intended it to be pronounced a la Flavor Flav, because it is now permanently etched that way in my brain.

    I'm curious now as to whether or not my robe is manufactured by Blair. The sleeve (VERY BRIEFLY) caught on fire when I was taking something out of the oven--no part of the robe touched anything in the oven, either. #olsentwins

    Wow, Blahnik really hates platforms, yeah? This is like the 3rd time I've read about his hate for them. #olsentwins

    @femme-bot: I know. I'm starting to wonder if it's a grade school thing. So, maybe he's always publicly pulling Platform's hair. But I think what he REALLY wants, in his heart of hearts, is for Platform to keep him warm on his long, cold, dark nights of the sole.

    He made this bubbly slipper-sipper

    That's a comfortable moccasin that you can drink sparkling wine out of while watching bad TV movies at 3AM, right? If so, I've been in the market, and Etsy has provided no help. #olsentwins

    OMG. This is JUST like the time I tried to meet author/horror incest porn virtuoso VC Andrews. Her people tried to play it off, like she was "too busy" to meet me or whatever, but I uncovered the truth! It turns out she really was too busy. Too being dead, that is, and all those books were being written by a mysterious committee formed to keep those checks & tween girl allowance money rolling in.

    @Your Screenplay Sucks: I think she actually died after like the second or third book in the Flowers/Attic series. Which kind of makes sense, since every book after the Flowers/Heaven series reads like the same storyline with a few little tweaks here and there. I stopped buying the books after the "dawn" series cos it was too obvious they were being churned out like cans of beans at a factory.

    ...and cos I grew up and realized there were better books out there with porn in 'em. where not everyone ended up doing it with their brother/stepbrother/half brother/cousin who is really your brother/brother who is really your cousin

    Gosh! Margiela was one of my first fashion crushes and I'm actually wearing a top from his 6 line right now! It's a stretchy, strappy thing in dark red bought in 2003, cost about £15 on sale and has easily outlasted every similar piece of crap from the high street.


    I loved the intelligence but lack of neuroses about his clothes. Recently, yeah, it's obvious his name is on (them) but he's not home.

    My friend's boss is a close friend of Margiela's and he says that is not a picture of him, but just a random person which they gave out when he was hired at Hermes to throw people off the scent so to speak.


    The mystery only deepens....

    I'm short and skinny, so I don't look like anyone on the runway, but I probably have a similar body type to a lot of the shorter actresses/singers. As for people who actually LOOK like me, I can always turn on some cable channel which broadcasts imported shows from Asia.

    @Samanthrax is Sarcastic: People seem to complain that models don't "look like them" (especially when it comes to ethnicity), but they can always find someone (or at least sort of does) who does in foreign/imported media. Besides, why do people seem to have issues with me around here? Because I'm short and always emphasize that? I'll stop only when mainstream media start discussing it. Otherwise, I'm going to continue, as usual.

    @PetiteGal: Maybe people have issues with you because you make everything about how short you are. This post has absolutely nothing to do with that.


    And mainstream media talking about... short people? This is a pressing issue, how exactly?

    Yes, the industry is monolithic and blahblahblah... BUT, one doesn't need to make a statement with every choice. Does this mean that I should only buy French wines, and wines that are made in French styles, simply because I am? Should we only patronize the restaurants that menu foods that are locally sourced, or offer our own ethnic cuisines? Is yoga a discipline that should only be practiced by believers of a specific faith?


    What one likes is what one likes. Not everything is, or should be, a statement.*


    *and I know that in context, what Naomi was saying was not a criticism of Michelle Obama. I was more responding to the arguments the quote has generated.

    as much as naomi is right, it makes me wonder how many clothes that naomi, as a fashion model, wears from designers who haven't chosen her to model their clothes. i know she's a supermodel and has worked with everybody, but still...there's gotta be a few who never called naomi for work.

    @rednrowdy: Hmm. So to take your hypothesis one step further, could one not argue that as many clothes as supermodels get for free, that Ms. Campbell could feel free to choose among the clothes of the ones that do call her for work?


    Kind of like when Jay-Z denounced the parent company of, Cristal, was it? And switched to Roederer and its subsidiaries and Cristal's market share went down about a hundred points in a week?


    (This is, of course, a corollary point to the one Ms. Campbell was making, IMO, but it's an interesting question.)
