    Did her job brilliantly? Her job doesn't involve showing up on time or not making dozens of people with lives and other projects rearrange their schedules to suit her mania?

    It's sort of interesting the way Diane Kruger's claim of unsophistication quietly echoes Kate Beckinsale's comment that she still feels horribly awkward and homely. The cynic in me wants to scoff at the idea that either of them should feel insecure about anything, but oddly enough, I actually think both women are being as honest as they are able.

    I think the way people perceive you can sometimes be mind-bogglingly different from the way you perceive yourself. And for women who are in the public eye, this goes double. And there's this strange fucking phenomenon that there are strangers all over the world who have ideas and expectations about who you are and how you should feel about yourself. And none of it actually has any relation to your own sense of identity or self-worth. You're told you're beautiful, stunning, sexy, ravishing, but I imagine it can genuinely ring a little hollow when it's being commodified, and when you know how fucking haggard you look at 6 in the morning. And no matter how widely-travelled and well-educated you are, you'll always know people who seem far more accomplished and sophisticated than you'll ever, ever be. No one ever wins that race.

    I dunno. I mean, I know I'm not saying anything radically insightful here, but still. Weird.

    @A Small Turnip: And then you know they do all this stuff to your pictures before they print them which means they had to "fix" all the stuff about you they thought was broken. Yeah, that's probably good for the ego, especially if you were an awkward child and have that baggage.

    dear delores burke,

    people get pregnant in this day and age the same way they got pregnant back when you were in your teens.

    i'm not going to comment about your declarations about jude law, either. perhaps now your granddaughter understands the basics about birth control and condom usage, but it's a shame nobody explained it to her years ago.

    I was watching the movie Proof last week and thought: Hope Davis will make an excellent Hillary Clinton if ever they make a movie of her life.

    Hey, presto!

    VF would likely have gotten letters either way, but I would have loved to see Mad Men get a cover. Blurgh. I mean, we've heard a lot about Michael Jackson (less about Farrah). But I understand why they did it, and will buy the issue for the Mad Men, and probably read at least some of the Farrah-MJ stuff.

    I'm almost finished with Julie & Julia now, and I kind of hate it. I mean, it's an interesting story, but she's an incredibly whiny lush - This is SO HARD. I need VODKA. Oh, how do I cook and go to work HUNG OVER. My mom is CRAZY. I'm turning into MY MOM.

    I'll see the movie, but I don't think I want to read anything else from her.

    @electricbubbles: I wasn't crazy about it either; I just read it this summer, right after My Life In France, and the contrast was like a slap in the face. I was really bothered by the air of, "OMG, we're just two babies who can't do anything right! I'm so incompetent! Awful apartment! Terrible commutes! Job suckitude!" Just...fucking...don't live in New York if you're going to bitch about it; quit your job, act like a grownup. I hate when women's noisy incompetence is rewarded. The rest of us are really working hard and trying to prove we really are adult and competent, and somehow there's no book-and-movie deal at the end of that. I agree; I'm skipping anything else she writes.

    @newyorkette: Seriously. Not to mention, the whole premise of AA is admitting that you can't drink responsibly and finding a support group to help you not drink at all without FUCKING JUDGMENT. Because the fucking judgment? That is part of what keeps people on a destructive path.

    @newyorkette: I dunno, I've known a few drunks and addicts up close, and her quote sums up a lot of how I feel about them sometimes. I'm certainly sorry that they have a problem. But it's a bit much when they're being a narcissistic asshole for the umpteenth time and acting like you have to give them a free pass on that because of the booze/drugs/whatever. It gets really tiresome and hurtful, and I can definitely relate to where she's coming from.

    Dear Kate Moss,


    Please remember it is quite likely your daughter will read this book. Thank you, that's all.

    Levi Strauss & Co is one of the best companies in the world. I worked for them for a few years and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The owner Robert Haas is the nicest billionaire you will ever meet.Things aren't as great as they once were but Levi's employees can still be proud.

    I'm kind of amazed that Kate Moss is writing a tell all. She's notoriously shy and rarely gives interviews, so it is shocking that she would write a tell all.

    "slavishly replicating" reminds me that I should be studying for my copyright exam. It also reminds me of how silly I felt the first time I used that phrase in a sentence.


    Dear Gucci-- if you think people will mistake Guess for you you, you have bigger problems than just the G.
