It seems she's suddenly back after being more under the radar for a long spell, and I'm glad to see it. She's always been my favorite of all the Supers.
Brava, Mrs. Wintour, you elitist dingbat! I've adored Christy T since I was a teen--she's ethnically Greek, right? ..which should right then and there disqualify her for Vogue posership, and has a bit of a lazy left-eye situation going on sans retouching.
Yet to me she's always represented a pure embodiment of classical beauty. Her small so-called "flaws" just make me feel more tender toward her kind of beauty. I'm not even getting into her intelligence, or businesswoman savvy.. Just saying that on a pure aesthetic level, she's like an ancient Greek statue. Flawed, with maybe the nose or arms blown off, but still capable to reduce you to tears of gratitude.
@snugbug: No, she is half salvadoran. I just met her in person a couple of months ago doing her activist thing and she was THIS BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON, plus sweet, gracious, well spoken, real...

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Better than lace stockings. Lace stockings, Vogue? Is that a whole body stocking or should I just let my 30 year old tits fly free?
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: I kind of want to combine all of the items - a pleated purple velvet skirt over lace stockings with ankle boots and a black leather jacket over a white shirt. It would be very Claudia Kishi. Or maybe Helena Bonham Carter.
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Confession: I am superduper stoaked, because I will take this as encouragement from Anna W to dress like Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder Version, naturally).
Did anyone else notice the claim they slipped in at the end of the Daily Mail article that Beyonce is 9 years older than she claimed? WTF? Is this true?
@hellatuff: I can't believe this either. If you are going to lie about your age, knock off a decade. Makes it easier to calculate dates on the hoof......or so I have found.
I do not know, specifically, what Aquascutum is, but judging solely on the company's ability to choose an appealing name, I would reject their bid as well.
@jigglyball: I take it you are not a latin scholar. Aquascutum is latin for watershield. When the company was first set up in 1851 it provided waterproof coats for British soldiers in the Crimea, using the waterproof woollen fabric the owner had patented. Having survived 158 years, the Aquascutum brand is one of the company's chief marketing asset.
The fact that it was once common for people to live in hotels is so glamorous to me, and so old-fashioned. I understand that it was pretty economical back in the day (at least, for some people in certain hotels) but it is baffling how that can possibly be a good move today. Does Sally Singer pay something like 19K a month to live there? Does she have a kitchen? Does a maid clean her room everyday?
Actual Mark Sanchez story: QB and Moddle slept together after being mostly naked in fashion shoot. Crew buzzing because all are upset not to be sleeping with either QB or Moddle. Reps silent as to veracity of this one (or three) night stand.

Women suffer from this much more, but it's similar to men losing their hair. That hurts.
So do spider veins, crowsfeet, graying hair -- all signs of ageing and eventual death.
They do feel like betrayals.

I know this because I used to have to do inventory at a swanky men's store in San Francisco.
