I think her expression in that photo is adorbs with the dress. It works in context. (and isn't considered tacky to not wear the designers clothes to the show if you're one of the invited celebrities?)
@pantsless economist...access RESTORED: It is my goal to one day have someone who will be the Waldorf to my Statler. Seriously, my love for those crabby dudes will never abate. You are now heartily hearted for the reference.
Is it bad that I'm less attracted to the Balmain after Michael Jackson starts wearing it? It almost gives the piece some strange, ironic connotations or something. You know?
Also did anyone see the "Make me a Supermodel" where they had rebel stylist/designers who cut clothes up and styled them on the model right on the runway? I thought it was so fucking fascinating.
Georgina Chapman is gorgeous, talented, and successful. Is Harvey Weinstein sexually attractive by any stretch of the imagination? Sometimes I feel that I never got the memo that sexual attraction, however subjective, is overrated. I will not give up. I will aim for a man whose clothes I want to tear off at every age of his life.
@elephantshoes: She just might consider him sexually attractive for whatever reason, and sexual attraction doesn't totally equal physical attraction (though it's part of it for me). I agree he's not exactly at Hugh Jackman level, and does about zero for me, but our reasons for tearing the clothes off teh menz aren't always due to chiseled abs...I mean for a short-term, solely physical thing? Sure! But for the long-term menz, they'll get old and saggy, I'll get old and saggy, and I still hope I want to tear off his clothes because of who he is.
@elephantshoes: Georgina Chapman is gorgeous and was a complete unknown model/actress/designer until she hooked up with a movie mogul and magazines who wanted his stars on their cover started showing her gowns in editorials, and actresses who wanted to curry favor with his studio started wearing her dresses on the red carpet. The Weinstein money/connections were so blatantly behind her rise to fame as a designer no one even pretends otherwise. If you genuinely believe that Georgina Chapman is sexually attracted to Lardo, rather than to what he did for her career, I have a bridge I would like to sell you. On the other hand, she's the modern day Marion Davies, and she seems breezily proud of it, so for that I salute her.
@ChildBride: Hey, shhhh with the logic! I'm trying to grow here! Just kidding... I'm being optimistic about love and marraige this week. Thought I'd try it on, see if it fits.
@elephantshoes: Hehe. I once couldn't see myself with anyone who didn't live up to some pretty certian criteria. And then I got bored, honest, with hooking up with beautiful assholes. My fiance is handsome (but no Adonis) and I would happily jump him any time. Humor and general awesomeness go a long way toward that attraction.
Mock me if you must, but I love Stephen King. The Dark Tower series changed my life. (My sister and I have matching KA tattoos on the back of our necks) Sue me. The man can write a story.
@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: I LOVE Stephen King. There are only a couple books (the more recent) that I haven't read. And if you haven't read Cell I recommend it. It's way better than some of his newish stuff. I bought Duma Key a while ago and I recently started on that.
Allow me to steal a line from The Witch King of Angmar but instead of Eowyn I mean ladmags: die now.
They actually wrote it on her? I clicked the link and skimmed but got a little eye rolly at all that typical boy mag copy. Couldn't they just do it in photoshop?
MOre importantly, way to make the point that all a woman is is nothing but a blank canvas onto which a man can imprint his thoughts and ideas to present them to the world. FUCKING HELL.

Sounds like someone was taking the gender studies phrase "bodies as texts" a little too literally, yes?

I think Bar's features, facially, are a little less angular than Gisele's.
