I just got really confused. My name is Jenna and my daughter's name is Sadie, and I thought perhaps we had gone Rodarte touching in our sleep last night. Phew, crisis averted.
Unrelated to the topic but related to something in Jenna's post I don't get-- Why is Williamsburg now codeword for hipster? How did it become something of a hipster mecca? Is this Williamsburg, Virginia, the colonial town?
@remedios: although frankly it would be refreshing if the denizens of Williamsburg, Brooklyn started dressing like those of Colonial Williamsburgh, VA. half the dudes already have appropriate facial hair.
@sportz.star: I've always thought that "Williamsburg Hipsters Set Adrift In Colonial Williamsburg" would be a generative concept for possibly the beat reality TV show ever. Call it "Williamsburg Crossing" and get Attenborough to do the narration.
@Jenna: Oh god, Attenborough. That is awesome. Course if he was narrating it would need a naturalist survival of the fittest theme. Brooklyn hipsters surviving with colonial tools in Colonial Williamsburg. Much like KidsNation, or whatever that was, only with highly educated and highly inept hipsters. It would be brilliant.
@Penny: I've been hacking off the back of my growing out pixie for weeks. I know there are ways to grow out the back without being a circa-2007 fashion mullet but I'll be damned if I can figure it out.
@J.D.Regent: I used to do the back of my pixie cut with a Bic razor, running it down sections of hair to thin it out and shorten it at the same time. It is was more forgiving than the scissors...
I can't believe you covered the Daphne Guinness interview in today's WWD and DIDN'T reprint this awesome exchange:
WWD: "How would you describe your style?"
DG: "Regular. Stuff that fits."
WWD: "But you're wearing 7 inch platforms."
@kwyshatz: Assuming the shoot is digital -- and most are -- then yes. You see it all. The take flashes up on a monitor as the photographer is shooting. However, it's considered bad form to look at the monitor during breaks without being invited -- some photographers find that presumptuous, I guess. When I started, however, it was particularly helpful as a way to learn how things were reading on the camera. Later, you kind of get a sense of that. I imagine Gisele, with her level of experience, has little interest in the monitor.
All well and good to have organic, paraben-free cosmetics, but claims of carcinogenic ingredients based on nothing in particular annoy the hell out of me. Ooooh...they're chemicals. Unless you can prove something, it's better to just STFU because otheriwse it just makes people with legitimate claims look as ditsy as you.
I'm confused as to why they would book Gisele knowing she was pregnant, just to airbrush it out later. Why not save the money spent on that & hire a different model? I guess I don't know all that much about the industry.
@cb831: I'm kind of with you, but at the same time, couldn't it be a good thing that a woman's career (even if she is a model) isn't put on hold because she got pregnant? Sure, London Fog could have just left her with her (seriously tiny) round belly, but if that wasn't what they had in mind when they booked her, flattening her stomach doesn't seem that drastic.

I've never been on a shoot with a separate monitor for the model.

But good for her. She's already done so much for womankind. Not least of which was the Loehmann's introduction.
