Am I a snob for not liking Coach because it's too suburban? Because if so, I shall continue to turn my nose up at their offerings.

As for Vogue, I really hope this makeover is actually a makeover and not Anna Wintour's no doubt lazy definition of a makeover. I've been reading a few Italian fashion magazines lately (just to practice while I'm not at school), and I don't know if they seem special because the content is in a different language, or if the content is genuinely better, but Vogue needs to catch up. Desperately.

@Sandicomm: No. I no longer buy their bags, although I do have a basic black leather portfolio-type bag I use for work and really like.

Reed Krakoff, though, is a genius. I may not be their market any longer, but it's wide-reaching. I have a lot of respect for him.

Unpredictability in Vogue means reading hints about 'being different' and 'shaking things up' and 'maybe no more jumping, who knows?' and opening the new issue and seeing the same old jumping blondies in dated layouts and rich ladies writing about their sad, sad botox/pedicure/facials.

Gotcha! Let's see what happens next month!

Isn't diamond one of the hardest substances in the world? One would think that diamond dust would tear your corneas to shreds if it got in your eyes. Is she going for that whole Madonna-weeping-tears-of-blood effect?

This 'new circle of models,' they'll all be varying shades of caramel, right, with long flowing hair and button noses? And the fresh young photographers will have great ideas for them like 'Bend your arms forward to make your clavicles stick out more' and 'Can you pretend you're slumped on the floor, dead?'

Okay, phew.

A Vogue makeover! Can we have a tv show about that? With Tim Gunn looking at the layouts pinned on the wall and saying: I'm worried?

Those Lily ads border on adorable. What's holding me back harkens to the LiLo Marilyn thing. As I am over the emulations Audrey in her Breakfast at Tiffany's look.

I sang the entire Gainsbourg 5:55 album to myself in the mirror last night while drunk.

True story.

She could shill for anything (except Wal-Mart) and I would still love her.

@Penny: "5:55"--Air wrote all the songs on that album, right? (Look at us, Penny dear, dating ourselves by calling these things "albums.." Ha!) Very charming Euro muzak, but I still think "Lemon Incest" is Mme. Gainsbourg's finest pop music moment yet.

Is calling albums "albums" dated?? So retro!

@BlondeGoddess: Really! The Balenciaga campaign should dovetail nicely with her role of grief-stricken mom and homicidal wife in the latest Larsie von Trier flick. According to some Cannes fest-related crap I read, the MPAA is demanding that von Trier re-cut the film, because as is, they won't even release it with an NC-17 rating.. Knowing how mule-ish von Trier is about final cut (and good for him), this might actually mean the film will never land in U.S. theaters.. =(

RE: "Miguel Adrover's 2001 MeetEast collection"

Thanks for reminding me of this guy.. Is he still in the shmata trade? A real artist, IMHO. I was so moved by one of his pieces back in 2000--an overcoat he crafted out of the cover of a mattress on which his friend/neighbor Quentin Crisp had ailed and died. A poetic gesture wrought in fabric--although I can see whyit might've sent consumers + critics screaming into the woods.

After Emma Watson's masterly put down of perfume-shilling the other day, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Julia R-R seem so, well, uncool by comparison, no?

"The people I chose to run my new store in London are nice. I cannot work with bitches, I can't, I can't."

You and me both, buddy...though is he saying they're untalented? I don't think talent and non-bitchery are mutually exclusive. It's kind of a destructive mental construct to have.

Nicolas Ghesquière picked the intolerably cool Charlotte Gainsbourg to advertise Balenciaga's perfume.

This makes me happy. I am going to go on a mission to find these ads and make a scrapbook. And also do my best to not think of Anti Christ during said mission.
