@Tippi Hedren: A little ways downthread I figured she must be a graduate of the Center for Kids Who Can't Read Gud and Who Want to Learn to Do Other Stuff Gud Too. #heidiklum
Even if Steve Madden is not selling many shoes, of COURSE they're not bankrupt. Their extremely cheaply made shoes are way more expensive than they are worth. Honestly, they are Payless quality. #heidiklum
LOL @ being dressed by the Adam Lippes intern, Jenna. Since you explicitly did *not* linger on what exactly they put you in, we're officially dying to know now.
Why is Tom Ford depressed? He got to design Roger Federer's wedding tuxedo. I think - even speaking as someone who's had experience with the clinical kind - that job would snap me out of the depression with the quickness.
Who's got YouTubes of the AbFab girls in the M&S ads?
"Commotious." I'm feeling that.
Kendra must have gone to the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Gud and Who Want to Learn to Do Other Stuff Gud Too. #heidiklum
It is true that there was a lot of retouching going on before it could be done digitally. There's a great photo in a Hurrell book that shows what he did with Joan Crawford, who I never before realized had a ton of freckles. (Apparently it took six hours to de-freckle and de-wrinkle someone by hand).
@Fatwetdog: That was fascinating. But her underlying bone structure wasn't changed. They made her skin glowy and her hair shiny, but they didn't change what her actual face looked like. I think there is a big difference. #heidiklum
Well, Mr. Mondino, don't you worry, because I'm pretty sure that the French are going to pay just as much attention to these "retouched" labels as they do to those warnings that tell you to avoid eating between meals that are pasted onto commercials for Haribo candies. #ragtrade
@browngirlinthering: is it? ok being wrong is my instant karma for being an asshole in the first place. But I still kind of doubt that an investigatory/investigative journalist is backstage sneakily trying to find out what she does in her spare time. #heidiklum
@lilbobbytables: I know, right? That tree'll be the best dressed thing in the territories this season.
I wonder if he'll make it some lingerie. #heidiklum
It only makes sense (especially with the Prada shoes), that if designers don't understand how adult women's bodies tend to work, they aren't going to pay attention to their feet. 'Oh? Those are hard to walk in? Well, no harder than losing another 15 lbs to fit into a leather corset, right? Good.'
Does it hurt their careers if they fall? IE I'm totes imagining the designer watching them fall and flinging their headset to the ground..."My show is RUINED! She will NEVER work in this town again! NEVAR!"
Anorexia and horrible shoe design play a role as well.
Otherwise, girls can even run on stilettos.

Wait. So now modeling and the fashion/beauty industry are good? Now we goo-goo over how beautiful and cute they all are, with their impossible standards? So now there's not a fucking thing WRONG with applauding that a 15 year old girl "has what it takes" to succeed as a model? I'm dizzy.
@nellicat: I've enjoyed Tatiana's writing, and it's an interesting look at the industry. Having sympathy for the models isn't an anti-woman thing, and many people are interested in fashion for the artistic aspects. I think it's possible to call out the industry on their impossible beauty standards, and the absurdity of luxury goods in general, but I don't think fashion has to be inherently evil. So I intend to continue enjoying Tatiana's writing. She has yet to write anything even remotely "omg you guyz buy this $1000 tank top and go puke because you're fatties."
@goldengirl11 (is way too earnest): I enjoy Tatiana's writing, too, but teh fact remains she is part of the industry that many of us loathe. With good reason. I think every model should ask herself, and care, "Is some girl using my picture as 'thinspiration'" The answer is "probably." To know that, and to stay in the industry because, basically, you like the money, isn't very admirable.
