@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.
Ooh, I might be tempted to stray from my L'Artisan Parfumeur perfume with tuberose in it, to try the Daphne perfume. I wonder where you could get a sample...
I love that Roger Federer turns usually stoic Anna Wintour into a gushing teenager. She definitely keeps his photo in her locker and kisses it before bed every night.
If it is raining, Christie Brinkley wanders about the house, cradling a cup of Lavender tea, gecko perched on her shoulder, fondling her begonias. Then she reads the newspaper.
I imagine the Church of Scientology's uniforms to have a jaunty nautical theme, accented with foreskins of young boys (just as L. Ron would have wanted) and dyed in the tears of delusion.
Lady Gaga reminds me of the girls who happily brag that they spent their rent money on a pair of Jimmy Choos. It wasn't cute when Carrie Bradshaw made such statements and nowadays, it's just incredibly annoying and insensitive.
Dear Lady Gaga,
Investing all of your money into clothing when you only have one CD out is a bad idea. I love you. I don't want you to disappear. I feel like you're lying to me. You say that you're spending "all" of your money on clothes, but then who is paying for your drugs?
Whatever, I don't care about that. I'm just worried about you. Let's do the choreography to Poker Face sometime, okay?
Love,
Dallifornia
When the British Design Council do move fashion week to Somerset House, many people will find themselves oddly familiar with the place, having seen it as an outdoor location for countless period films and television series. Coincidentally, Pedro Almodovar held the premiere of his latest film there. He later said Somerset House was the most the beautiful venue he had ever held a premiere in and in stark contrast to the original open air cinema venues of his childhood.
If I had the power to award gold medals to creepy Hollywood perverts, I'd definitely give one to Michael Bay. He is really out-perverting the compeition this year. Just perverting them right out of the water.

@Santos L Halper: I imagine them to look like this. Only shorter. Possibly with pointy hats.

This is a logical choice as everyone knows, they've got legs and they know how to use them.
