    I'm laughing hard at the fact there's a private equity firm with the same name as my fiance's Warcraft character (Blood Elf Paladin if anyone cares). If there's ever one called Mythican I'll start to be worried...

    When I worked high end retail Champagne was my best friend. I had a few big clients who preferred to come in after hours (so as not to be bothered by the hoi poloi). I always had a bottle of Champagne on ice for them when they arrived, or their favorite wine. $7,000 later they were happy and so was my commission check. As long as they had a driver I always felt good about it.

    RE Cindy Crawford's healthy body: I worked for a mail order catalogue back in the day when Cindy was still on top as a super model (just prior to the Kate Moss waif look hitting the Calvin ads). All of our test garments and our fit model was a size 8. The garments that went out on catalogue shoots were always a 6 or an 8, as that's the size the top catalogue models were back then. Can you imagine!? That would never happen now days. And that was considered small (rightly so, since our best selling size at the time was a 12, and we weren't catering to plus sized women). Strange how things have changed.

    @ktwonderwoman: Back then the only people who wore a size two were very short and petite. I remember one of the soap opera actresses (she played Mindy? I think? on Young and the Restless?) was a size two and it was so noteworthy And I never saw a size zero on a store rack.


    I do not like how things have changed.

    @ktwonderwoman: @galaxina: @georgina: But haven't clothing sizes changed considerably since then? Vanity sizing and whatnot? I tend to be about a 4, but my mom has a dress marked 9/10 from the late 80's early 90's that I can only zip up with help from a friend, and even then it requires a substantial decrease in lung capacity.

    Tatiana, I was thinking about how moddles actually have, y'know, skin and bodily functions like everyone else. It's a muggy gross-ass day in NYC, and I see these eight-foot-tall willowy women stalking through NYC on the highest, highest heels, and they never seem to break a sweat or have a hair out of place or smear their lipstick.


    Sometimes I feel like I'm from another planet or something, like a planet of the Orcs from LOTR where I'm like this grimy oily disheveled mess and everyone else has figured out beauty treatments that make them lithe and cool and fragranced and fresh.


    It's just kind of coincidental that you mentioned that sometimes moddles smear makeup and sweat into clothes because...well, moddles are people, and people have biological functions, and those sample garments probably get kinda gucky when you have to stand for ages in the heat or cold.

    @tscheese: No seriously, when she means smear she means it. Not just a fine wipe, but layers of body make up all over the inside of a white dress. Huge sweaty stains half way down silk tops. These things come back TRASHED.


    That's not to say that that bloke should charge for stuff, but srsly, when I borrowed something from the designer I work for and ripped the seam they all acted like it was no biggie, and showed me a pile of practically un-saveable garments from big magazine shoots. So yeah. I can get his annoyance.

    @nessalicious: Good lord, what the hell is "body makeup?" You know, just don't tell me, I'm going to imagine it's something fun like putting lipstick on your belly button, and not something I will immediately feel like I have to go out and buy in order to look pretty.

    @nessalicious: Is the stuff so fragile that it can't be laundered or dry-cleaned? (I have NO idea how this works.) Or are we talking about stuff that's been stained beyond the boundaries of total and complete ruination? Makeup can stain stuff for GOOD, and excess moisture can kill really sensitive fabrics, so I see how stuff could be completely unsalveageable.

    Also, I don't know much about Jackie O other than fashion. In terms of activism and engagement, was she really a fore-runner for Michelle?

    Well, it's a good thing Perse has the market cornered on T Shirts. He has the whole fashion world over a barrel! I will employ the same strategy when I open my new line of clothing with this crazy thing I invented called "the skirt."

    Ooohh I love James Perse t-shirts. When I see they're on sale at Bluefly I buy them in bulk. Also, Cindy looks fucking amazing in that photo, even in that horrendous 80's crotchkiller bathing suit. Goddamn. I want to look like that when I grow up.

    I don't think James Perse will make any money charging for their editorial samples, that is ridiculous!It would be one thing if that were standard practice, but James Perse sells 60 dollar t-shirts! Who is going to give a shit about spending the time returning something that has comparatively little worth? If I were an editor and was told this is what was expected of me, I would be like "fuck this, we are not using James Perse. Somehow, we will have to find another long sleeve black t shirt in this world."
