@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.
@SevenNationArmy hates summer: I was just about to post the same thing about Lagerfeld. I'm picturing him in black overalls with his high buttoned shirt underneath telling the cows they're demode.
@telecomic the thoughtful red panda: Seriously, I thought their whole shtick (pre-porniness) was treating the manufacturing end well? I could be wrong, but bringing in people illegally (rather than hiring people with valid working papers), and then letting them remain undocumented (and hence at risk for deportation) does not sound employee-friendly to me. There goes that silver lining to the existence of AA.
Like many 66-year-olds we know, Betsey Johnson is eyeing retirement. "I should be retired. I'm basically screwing up because I'm not retired. I'd like to go in four days a month, something like that," says the designer.
OK, so being really, really ridiculously good looking for a living does not pay well. But at least you get to attend swanky funeral after-after-parties, and hang in the VIP section of the VIP Room

That the moon is on fire and she better get outside and help put it out right this instant."
Does anybody else hope that Paris calls looking to borrow clothes? And that it is secretly taped and leaked onto the internet?
