    Part of me is exasperated at all the very young, white, privileged fashion bloggers that have risen to fame (Cory Kennedy is the obvious, but also Alexi Wasser from imboycrazy.com, and I know there are others whose names/URLs I cannot recall), so am kind of meh about hearing news about Tavi Gevinson.
    That said, having just read her blog, she comes across as wide-eyed and adorable- reading her reaction over meeting Chloë Sevigny and not meeting Hedi Slimane, she seems as much an excitable fourteen year old as anyone, privilege and extraordinary circumstances notwithstanding, I guess.

    @Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: What is her privilege, exactly? I've been wondering for a while how she gets her hands on such extraordinary clothing at such a young age. Are her parents in the fashion world?

    @rixatrix: I'm not sure exactly- her Wiki entry didn't specify- but one gets the feeling that her parents are spectacularly loaded.

    ETA: apparently her dad is a 'high-school teacher,' but no comment on what her mum does.

    And I'm sure the legs he thinks are fat are those of his models. Perhaps he could model the shoes on actual skeletons?

    "1,500 girls lined up on Saturday in New York, and another 1,000 in Los Angeles, to try to be chosen as America's representative to the Ford agency's Supermodel of the World competition"

    Haven't they been running that competition for a while now? Like, pre-ANTM days?

    The Alexander shoe looks like a covered stiletto platform, but honestly, the design could quite easily be similar to what I've been seeing in fetish circles for years:

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: That's what my boyfriend thinks. I, however, feel that the foot must sit a little lower — since in all the pics, it looks like the thinnest part of the leg, ie slightly above the ankle, is right equal with the top of the shoe. The heel of the foot, according to my theory, would sit somewhere near where the stiletto meets the back of the shoe. You follow? #katemossfortopshop

    @Jenna: You know, looking at the picture, I think the line I drew more accurately represents where the top line of a regular heel would be. Meaning, the foot would actually sit lower than the line. I think you are right. I would still like to see a cross section though, I think it probably has teeny tiny unicorns in the sole.

    @Name of Numbers: Where did she say they were *better*? The "sound" you are hearing is your own inference that she is body-snarking on skinny folks.

    Man, I am so tired of "well, she's IMPLYING this or SUGGESTING that" when all the commenter is doing is setting off another Jezebel's hair-trigger "I'm offended" button about whateverthefuck issue. #katemossfortopshop

    I was just surprised that Ivanka's dress didn't have Trump gold logos all over it. Though I am sure to make up for that indiscretion, Papa Trump make sure the dinner consisted of Trump steaks, with Trump Parlor ice cream, followed by cocktail hour featuring Trump vodka. #katemossfortopshop

    @Tchotchke: it was lovely; I agree....dare I hope for a return to dresses with sleeves? We boobless chicks do not have the means to really fill out those strapless dresses. If a dress doesn't drape from the shoulder, surely it must hang off the breastline...

    I totally want that dress. #katemossfortopshop

    @JayBird: The thing about strapless dresses is that there is a bell curve regarding the breast sizes that they work well on. This is largely due to that apparent lack of decent, supportive strapless bras for women with something larger than a B/small C cup.

    For what it's worth, my mother is a bridal consultant, so her job is basically to pick out wedding gowns for other brides. According to her, the strapless dress is slowly falling out of favor because most brides don't want to look like all their friends and bridal fashion is headed into a slightly more demure direction. #katemossfortopshop

    @Tchotchke: That explains why every time I've tried one on, strapless bra or no, I look like a stork!

    I'm delighted to hear strapless dresses are falling out of favor. To me, they are right up there with the Princess Di dresses we lived with for years. #katemossfortopshop
