Venerated old houses like Givenchy shouldn't do diffusion lines. Leave that to the young designers that need the money.
Also, I posed this in groupthink, but it disappeared: a facebook friend (high school classmate I haven't seen in years) posted that she's hosting a "Knock-Off Party with fake Prada, Louis Vuitton, Coach, and more" at her house. Is that legal? Should I be a debbie downer and tell her about child labor and such? #victoriabeckham
Ghosty girl here. Thank you for remembering me so fondly, if not my nationality.. Alas, after our photo shoot I had an epiphany: modeling bores me. To tears. I'm currently pursuing a Ph.D in comparative religion at Oxford, and generally being one happy ghost.
I adore Eric Ripert. I have never read anything about him that didn't indicate that he was an all around class act. There are times when I truly can't wrap my head around how he and Bourdain are such close friends. #victoriabeckham
If guys are going to start wearing skirts it's a good thing that I have the legs for it. I'm worried about how to keep the fellas warm, though. I only need one adam's apple. #prada
@lurkerbynature: OH MY GOD Utilikilts! I forgot about Utilikilts. Someone brought one of their catalogues to a class I took in college, and it brought the lulz. #prada
@yinyang: Let me introduce you to the formal lava-lava. It's pretty common round these parts, and kinda uh incredibly hot.
(and I couldn't find a suitable photo with my Google Image Search skills, but the 'gallery' section in this website for the film Sione's Wedding showcases it spectacularly. hilaaarious film, too.) #prada
@yinyang:
@Jenna: They are truly awesome and very comfortable. I nearly bought one for myself when I visited their shop in Seattle. I'm sure they're even more (um) freeing for men.
One of my friends has one, and the only thing that looks better on him is 19th century formal clothing (including the top hat). #prada
When I was a kid, I always thought they had it backwards with pants and skirts. It seemed to me that skirts made more sense for boys to wear - as anatomically speaking, it's more difficult to stuff their stuff into a constrictive set of trousers than to just have it swinging round beneath a skirt or a dress.
And women, having our anatomy neatly tucked away, would obviously have a much easier time with pants.
Though I was always happy I had the option of wearing both, and used to loudly exclaim how wonderful wearing a sundress in the summer was to my guy friends skulking around in heavy shorts and jeans. #ragtrade
@hydrogen_jukebox: my mum always used to point out how other countries/areas of the world did it differently, too. For example: the middle east, and india. #prada
@hydrogen_jukebox: I know what you mean. I spent one summer in a sarong whenever I wasn't in my swimsuit. Guys can do OK with a pair of loose-fitting linen pants or shorts, tho'... #prada

And oh, Fergie. Did you mean to imply that every other modern scent is stinky? Yours is the only fresh one?
Ripert v. Cavalli: Roberto, you should have known better. Authentic French, 1; polyester rockstar, 0. #victoriabeckham
