I sang the entire Gainsbourg 5:55 album to myself in the mirror last night while drunk.

True story.

She could shill for anything (except Wal-Mart) and I would still love her.

@Penny: I am jealous of your drunken memory. I would shout "AAHM CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG and then fall over. Kudos!

@Penny: "5:55"--Air wrote all the songs on that album, right? (Look at us, Penny dear, dating ourselves by calling these things "albums.." Ha!) Very charming Euro muzak, but I still think "Lemon Incest" is Mme. Gainsbourg's finest pop music moment yet.

@snugbug: Yes I believe they produced the album and wrote some, if not all, of the songs.

Is calling albums "albums" dated?? So retro!

@BlondeGoddess: Really! The Balenciaga campaign should dovetail nicely with her role of grief-stricken mom and homicidal wife in the latest Larsie von Trier flick. According to some Cannes fest-related crap I read, the MPAA is demanding that von Trier re-cut the film, because as is, they won't even release it with an NC-17 rating.. Knowing how mule-ish von Trier is about final cut (and good for him), this might actually mean the film will never land in U.S. theaters.. =(

@snugbug: What happened to freedom of speech (or similar)? People are old enough to make their own choices to see a movie or not without the MPAA censoring. Crap.

RE: "Miguel Adrover's 2001 MeetEast collection"

Thanks for reminding me of this guy.. Is he still in the shmata trade? A real artist, IMHO. I was so moved by one of his pieces back in 2000--an overcoat he crafted out of the cover of a mattress on which his friend/neighbor Quentin Crisp had ailed and died. A poetic gesture wrought in fabric--although I can see whyit might've sent consumers + critics screaming into the woods.

After Emma Watson's masterly put down of perfume-shilling the other day, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Julia R-R seem so, well, uncool by comparison, no?

@Diziet_Sma: She's just modeling for the campaign though, it's not 'stupidly named perfume' BY Charlotte Gainsbourg. I think that's what Watson was getting at. I could be totally wrong though.

"The people I chose to run my new store in London are nice. I cannot work with bitches, I can't, I can't."

You and me both, buddy...though is he saying they're untalented? I don't think talent and non-bitchery are mutually exclusive. It's kind of a destructive mental construct to have.

Nicolas Ghesquière picked the intolerably cool Charlotte Gainsbourg to advertise Balenciaga's perfume.

This makes me happy. I am going to go on a mission to find these ads and make a scrapbook. And also do my best to not think of Anti Christ during said mission.

I love that there is a tag for 'french resistance'.

then I remembered that most of these tags are for single use. so much for war tales about my great-grandpa blowing up gestapo conventions and making new passports for the oppressed. you know, that type :)

This is literally the fifth ridiculous thing this guy has said in the past few months. Why are people interviewing anymore? Yes, he was adorable once. Yes, he was in a ton of movies, but what has he done for me lately?

Dude is a total douche. Speaking about Brittish soldiers curretly in conflict:

In Burton's day they were itching to get into the fray. Now it is the opposite. They are always whining about the dangers of being killed. Oh my God, they are such wimps now!

The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15,000ft above the war zone to avoid getting hit. I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining

This is silly, but I love it. It's so much nicer to inspire these kinds of convoluted, over the top comparisons, rather than a bland "She's a brunette with big boobs and a bleeding heart"

I hope one day someone takes one look at me and imagines that I look like someone with pert cleavage who would have an Underground Railroad station in my cellar. However, based on my usual facial expressions, they would most likely imagine that I have a bunch of ill-fated dalmatians locked in my attic.
