    I loved Isaac Mizrahi's original half-hour show on Oxygen -- three interesting segments interspersed with a little music. If I were QVC, I'd aim for that vibe.

    I feel like Hello Kitty exists in a parallel universe, known as "Japan." Maybe it's because she and her pals never caught on here in the US (though I will cop to owning a Pochaco lunchbox), but I am mystified by all the high-end Swarovski crystal-studded 14 carat Hello Kitty products. Who buys this stuff?

    @Yahtzii: I'll go ahead and say I'm right there with you. Actually, I'll take it one step further and say I hate that HK has gone from a lovely little cartoon character to a "brand". I was a Sanrio nut as a kid, and even so, I find the whole blinging-out to be extremely tacky and also extremely indicative of our youth-obsessed culture. It's not cute anymore if it's encrusted with pave diamonds and set in platinum and costs thousands of dollars. (Or worn by Mariah Carey, who seems to have her own little youth obsession going on.)

    @..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: The thing that really confuses me is that the reason she's so cute is because of her simplicity and innocence. She is neither of those things when made into a diamond ring that costs more than my house.
    Also, if I had that much money, WHY would I spend it on something branded with Hello Kitty?

    I think Eva as a model would be more groundbreaking than Eva as an actress- and let's be honest, she was never a real actress. The fact that she is 30+ and Latina is exciting all by itself since the modeling world is extremely ageist and not favorable to non-white models.

    Since Eva's in her 30s, I don't think modeling is her career future. In fact, didn't she model well before she started acting? Anyway, I love her, and she can act, and she's gorgeous, but I doubt that if she hadn't been an actress and celebrity first that the ageist fashion industry would want anything to do with her.


    But wow, that "transparent acting career" thing bugged me. Am I the only one?

    @annebreal: I don't remember Eva ever calling herself an Oscar caliber actress. I think she knows her range and takes parts accordingly. Not everyone is Meryl Streep and not every part calls for it. It didn't bug, I just took it as the poster's personal opinion.

    Hm. About the Kitson thing, aren't they right? If the store wants a ramp, which I'm not sure about NYC laws regarding them, can't they say they want the ramp to be wheelchair friendly? I would have thought that they would have had to have put one in a long time ago just to be up to code? I thought all stores had to be accessible?

    Marfa, Texas is one of my favorite places in the world!! A beacon of weirdness, minimalism and crazy natural light shows in otherwise desolate West Texas.


    Plus it has it's own Prada store, now gently decaying into a ruin:

    @LaFemme: It's kind of a mecca for people who love weird art orientated places. From what I can remember about the history of the place (wikipedia would probably be more helpful) a minimalist artist called Donald Judd moved there in the early 70s and started buying up property and even a whole military base to turn into art installations and galleries. The Fort there was turned into an 'anti-museum', where artist's works would be shown permanently instead of for short periods of time, allowing viewers to truly experience the art.


    Since then foundations have been established and there are a lot of opportunities for residencies and gallery spaces. Now loads of conceptual artists live in the area and there are tons of art spaces, a disproportionate amount considering only 2000 people live there. There's an open house every year where thousands of artists and dealers visit, tripling the town's population for a few weeks.


    I go there at least once a year and I find it really inspirational and supportive for artists and musicians. There are huge parties out in the desert, and it is the most creative atmosphere I have ever experienced. There is a sense of other-worldliness about Marfa, as though you are in an alien landscape populated by hyper-creative people and shit tons of minimalist art.

    I like Eva Mendes. She seems very down to earth and like she'd be a cool girlfriend to have drinks and make fun of guys in a bar with. I don't think she thinks her role in Hitch was critically acclaimed either. A girl's gotta pay her bills!

    Ugh, those Ruehl stores should die. They're designed so you can't see what's inside the store, so you go in, excited, only to find out it's a darker, more perfumed, more expesive Abercrombie.

    @Majrhoulihan: that's the exact way i described the store to a friend of mine the other day. "it's just like A & F, but the jeans are darker"


    coincidentally, my cousin just got a summer job there and I want so much for her to stop talking about how cute the guys are.

    @rahelio: I worked there last summer. While like all A&F stores, being pretty is part of the job, I did notice that their employees are definitely more ethnically diverse. Also, they are not total size bitches, I had to wear the largest size shirts and second largest size pants that they sell. Still, not surprised they're going down, no one EVER bought anything while I worked there.
