that designer bread story is worth it just for this pic (which isn't one of the designer breads). omg, pandas! and it's really made to bake this way, not just painted.
I don't care if Reanimated Coco Chanel herself with the help of Jesus and a unicorn with opposable thumbs designed Desiree Rogers' gown. It's really... awful. It looks like she raided a child's costume chest and ruined some sheer ill-fitting bedroom curtains. Her outfit reminds me of a waterlogged Zelda Fitzgerald.
The McNeil family's comments are pretty blatant admissions that Catherine was inflicting those cuts on herself. I just hope she gets all the support, love and hope she needs to pull through. My experiences with people I love self-mutilating makes this an issue that's close to my heart.
@Tchotchke: Ditto. However, oddly, I'm kind of glad that she chose to go out in public with the scars on her arms. I regularly cut my shoulders and my breasts, and it's only been very recently that I'm able to face the public world with the evidence still in my skin.
The sooner we stop being ashamed of our disease, the sooner the rest of the world will accept it as such.
My best friend cut himself in high school. Looking at the Catherine McNeil article and the attached pictures is very painful for me, and while I'm no expert, those cuts do not look like the result of a skateboarding accident.
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?

I hope she wears those thigh-high boots to the next state dinner.

And your company has his name, so I suggest you take his views into consideration.

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