@suck_it_monkeys: I think he actually says, "Anna, the winter(Wintour) gets cold; en (in) vogue with your skin out." I just caught this reference at the gym this morning. Part of the long tradition of hip hop "metaphors" that don't entirely make sense, but can be clever (like this one) or lame (like countless others).
@suck_it_monkeys: It makes sense -- the whole verse is about young women who come to New York all innocent and get caught up in the high life. So take the lyrics as written, and he's just continuing to paint the picture: those girls you see huddled outside of clubs in mid-January wearing miniskirts and sexy little jackets, freezing their asses off while they wait for some guy to hail them a cab. Now take the lyrics as they sound, and it adds another layer: they're models, or they want to be, they're just fashionable accessories and all people value them for are their looks. Bonus points for magazine title wordplay in a song about New York, which, at least if you're in the industry, can feel like it lives and breathes magazines.
I just noticed that yesterday when I was listening to that song! It made me laugh aloud, and the guy walking next to me gave me a sidelong look and slunk farther away. Hee.
I hope these two get a show together. And they can chat about all sorts of random things. And I want it on in the morning, so we can all have a happy day.
Anyone else think Drew Barrymore looks a hell of a lot like Stephen Fry? It's uncanny!
Oh, Shirley Manson, I love you so. There had BETTER be another season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles or I will have to send my army of unstoppable killing machines from the future to personally express my disappointment in the FOX network execs.
@Slovenly Muse: While you're at it, can you send the unstoppable killing machines back a few years and have them coerce FOX into not cancelling Firefly?
@la.donna.pietra: I was actually thinking I might just send the unstoppable killing machines back in time to prevent the FOX execs from ever taking power, instead ensuring that those jobs are filled by intelligent, sci-fi-loving geeks. Reality TV fans would be pretty disappointed, but I think it'd be worth it.
@hello.kitty: It is also a very common adjective in my home, on my facebook page, and in inappropriate circumstances (sorry, dad). Perhaps I am secretly Scottish?
@hellonini9: I always think of Trainspotting, and pray that someone breaks out in Ewan McGregor's "It's SHITE being Scottish!" speech. That or Begbie's story about playing pool.

I love his sense of humor--bawdy tales usually involving whiskey--and the way he speaks.
And he confirmed the FUCKING is a common adjective in Scotland.

I still have my 13 year old crush on her though, and I understand her love of men with mustaches.
