Remember when we told you that Kelly Cutrone was in the Observer's comment section, threatening to scan in her driver's license to prove that she was really 42? Well, uh… She made good on her threat! Kudos to New York for getting Cutrone on the horn and posting a copy of her driver's license. To the Observer commenters: suck on it, haters. [NYM]

The Hills: Whitney Learns To Deal With Scary Boss Kelly Cutrone
Now that Whitney has a new job at Kelly Cutrone's fashion PR company People's Revolution, she might actually get a storyline that isn't a complete snoozer. On last night's episode, we got a glimpse of Kelly's bitchy side when Whitney's coworker was snapped at for not doing her job properly. Then we learned that it was Kelly who made Lauren cry during the first season of The Hills when she was trying to secure tickets to an event at L.A. Fashion Week for Vogue's Lawren Howell.

Fashion PR Lady Kelly Cutrone Is So Boss
Kelly Cutrone is the owner of fashion PR company People's Revolution, where Whitney from The Hills is now working. This weekend, MTV ran a documentary about Fashion Week following Kelly and her assistant Stefanie as they prepared for the fall shows, and we got a glimpse at how super awesome she is. First of all, our hats are off to anyone who successfully works in fashion, yet cares more about the work than the fashion. Kelly's style is akin to the "blogger's look": No bra, no makeup, baggy shirts, tired face, and hair so dirty it looks wet. She seems like a tough boss, but appreciative just the same. Clip above.

And Then There Was Nothing: The Incredible Shrinking Male Model
As I've been at fashion shows over the past week, I continue to be concerned about the size of the female models I've seen on the runway. They're very young and very, very thin and seeing these girls as they get poked and prodded backstage, in particular, makes me feel uncomfortable and worried for them. But apparently being worried about the weight of female models is one trend that's out; now the focus is on the men. The male mannequins, it seems, are also wasting away: on average, they are 6 feet tall and a paltry 145 lbs., a look that casting agent Patrick Scully attributes to the "Hedi Slimanization" of menswear. Says booking agent George Brown: "When I get that random phone call from a boy who says, 'I'm 6-foot-1 and I'm calling from Kansas,' I immediately ask, 'What do you weigh?' If they say 188 or 190, I know we can't use him." More »

Dear Diane: Sorry, But You Can't Claim To "Show The Soul Of A Woman" On The Same Day You Sue Target
- "With so many magazine images that are so completely retouched, we've gone in the opposite direction, showing the soul of a woman." That's artist Francois-Marie Banier, on this Diane von Furstenberg ad starring Natalia Vodianova. Which makes us wonder, if that is the "opposite direction" of the retouching trend, we sort of wonder what that trend would look like "taken to its hyperbolic extreme." [Vogue UK]
- And in other DVF news, Diane is suing Target over a wrapdress. Wait, you're telling us Target didn't invent the wrapdress? [Reuters]
