    I got into a fight with Scott Schuman on the phone last week! What an ego... a textbook Napoleon complex, I say.

    I loved Isaac Mizrahi's original half-hour show on Oxygen -- three interesting segments interspersed with a little music. If I were QVC, I'd aim for that vibe.

    I feel like Hello Kitty exists in a parallel universe, known as "Japan." Maybe it's because she and her pals never caught on here in the US (though I will cop to owning a Pochaco lunchbox), but I am mystified by all the high-end Swarovski crystal-studded 14 carat Hello Kitty products. Who buys this stuff?

    @Yahtzii: I'll go ahead and say I'm right there with you. Actually, I'll take it one step further and say I hate that HK has gone from a lovely little cartoon character to a "brand". I was a Sanrio nut as a kid, and even so, I find the whole blinging-out to be extremely tacky and also extremely indicative of our youth-obsessed culture. It's not cute anymore if it's encrusted with pave diamonds and set in platinum and costs thousands of dollars. (Or worn by Mariah Carey, who seems to have her own little youth obsession going on.)

    @..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: The thing that really confuses me is that the reason she's so cute is because of her simplicity and innocence. She is neither of those things when made into a diamond ring that costs more than my house.
    Also, if I had that much money, WHY would I spend it on something branded with Hello Kitty?

    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: "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.

    @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?

    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.
