@suck_it_monkeys: I think he actually says, "Anna, the winter(Wintour) gets cold; en (in) vogue with your skin out." I just caught this reference at the gym this morning. Part of the long tradition of hip hop "metaphors" that don't entirely make sense, but can be clever (like this one) or lame (like countless others).
@suck_it_monkeys: It makes sense -- the whole verse is about young women who come to New York all innocent and get caught up in the high life. So take the lyrics as written, and he's just continuing to paint the picture: those girls you see huddled outside of clubs in mid-January wearing miniskirts and sexy little jackets, freezing their asses off while they wait for some guy to hail them a cab. Now take the lyrics as they sound, and it adds another layer: they're models, or they want to be, they're just fashionable accessories and all people value them for are their looks. Bonus points for magazine title wordplay in a song about New York, which, at least if you're in the industry, can feel like it lives and breathes magazines.
I just noticed that yesterday when I was listening to that song! It made me laugh aloud, and the guy walking next to me gave me a sidelong look and slunk farther away. Hee.
I am choosing to believe this is a Pugh's statement on the extinction of numerous species of birds in the Florida Everglades in the name of fashion, and made this contraption with the feathers of road kill birds.

This is what Princess Leia wears now that she's older and can't hear so good.
@CurtCole: Transporting models to Fashion Valhalla, where they walk runways all day and snort coke all night. All the clothes get shredded while they sleep, and the whole thing starts over again in the morning with magical new clothes from the Designer Gods.
Oh Ed Hardy designer, you're the classiest! I can't wait 'til it all blows up in your face, catches on fire then is encircled by women riding pink tigers.
I saw (500) Days of Summer this weekend, and did not realize until I saw the InStyle wedding issue at the store yesterday that Christina Hendricks is marrying the guy who played McKenzie in the movie. So in my mind, I'm picturing the "Are you a lesbian?" guy with Joan Holloway. Even though I know that isn't right. But good for them.
Don't take fashion seriously? Because insanely awesome and carefully cultivated street fashion just happens.
My Jenna crush, solidified!
She has her own paper cups, because "I'm so into monogramming. I'm doing it on everything right now."
Gena*, let me introduce you to reusable cups. They can be monogrammed too!!
I have to just say, as a corporate retail bitch, I am so not looking forward to this Q4. You will find me curled in the corner with a bottle of wine, sucking my thumb by October 31st. Promise.
I feel like I would be too busy to really "focus" on whatever Gerber goodness I was consuming. I'd be too worried about the sucking sounds I'd be making by drinking food out of a snorkel and wondering if everyone else has one too or they're just watching me. Not to mention the risk of getting pureed peas and summer squash on my nice white outfit.
Lady Gaga reminds me of the girls who happily brag that they spent their rent money on a pair of Jimmy Choos. It wasn't cute when Carrie Bradshaw made such statements and nowadays, it's just incredibly annoying and insensitive.
