I am now even more excited about The Lemonheads' new album, and I did not think that could be possible. Christina Aguilara and Liv Tyler are on it, too.
@anonanimal: I just got a visual of an American Apparel store, what with its leotards, leggings, catsuits, and the like, but about 50% cheaper. Shudder.
Anyone else think it would be kind of awesome if Abercrombie went bankrupt? I wore it in high school as much as the next suburban girl, but it would be kind of neat in the sort of "time capsule" sense. Telling our grandkids about how once there was this crazy store that sold paper-thin tank tops for $45, shorts that were 5" from waistband to hemline, and t-shirts that actually said things like "blondes do it better." And it was marketed to 13 year olds who neither (likely) had sex, nor their own money! What a riot that will be.
@wordinedgewise: Yes, they should. If only because then my grandkids can say, "Grandma, tell me again how your generation fixed the environment!" and I can say, "Well, kids, there was this store [insert every description you just gave] and it turned out that just closing every A&F and thus decreasing AXE emissions cleared the air and ozone right up!"
@InCahoots: Hey listen, A&F does plenty to protect the environment, like keeping all the lights so low in their stores it's impossible to see the clothes without nightvision goggles.
@wordinedgewise: I hate to wish ill on other people in these bad times, but I agree with you. I've come to hate A&F as I've gotten older and I actually hold my breath when I pass a store for fear of having an olfactory-triggered seizure. (I don't know if that's what they're called, scientifically speaking, but I've had them before.) Anyway the death of their teen nudity catalogs and ridiculously overpriced hankerchief-sized clothing (get off my lawn!) would make me happy.
@wordinedgewise: I'd love to see A&F completely fail. I also realize that I'm a bitter person.
I ventured into that store months ago while chaperoning my 13 year old cousin around the mall and I was thinking to myself, "The prices can't be as obscene as I remember them-I'm grown now and I make a decent amount of money." Yea. The prices were still ridiculous. It must be a testament to how much my hard working parents loved me to buy such outrageously overpriced t-shirts.
@lilbobbytables: No. She has a sterilization chamber that she uses immediately after coming indoors. Wouldn't want all those cogs and sprockets and state-of-the-art modifications being compromised by carbon dioxide and skin cells and other assorted human filth.
@..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: Yeah, Anna Wintour is such a frigid bitch. I bet the NY Times was talking about her when talking about those bitchy bitchy career women. She should learn to be nicer and smile all pretty every now and then. I mean, it's like a woman's JOB to be nurturing and caring.
@greengrey: Wow. That's not what I said. At all. I was making a joke in reference to the interview excerpt. Not in any way implying that she is a frigid bitch. I think you misunderstood me there.
I love fashion, and Kate Moss is de facto awesome, but a museum exhibition titled 'The Kate Moss Myth' sounds excruciatingly boring.
Maybe I just don't get it. Is it going to be a bunch of photos and editorials featuring her, with outfits in glass cases? Yawnfest! Plus I see pictures of her every time I open practically any fashion mag or watch TV.
@greengrey: It really is. It's complete over-saturation to the point where my boredom is turning into a quiet seething hatred. There are so many more interesting models for the media to obsess over. Lara Stone for example.
The make up on Victoria Beckham's cheek is mesmorising! It's like she has a round glimmering lump stuck on top of her face. Or the world's most defined cheekbone EVER.
Madonna apparently says Jesus Luz's name in the Lamb of God pronunciation, not the From South America pronunciation.
I don't understand that sentence. What is the Lamb of God pronunciation? And what is the South America pronunciation? Because South America has multiple languages. In Spanish it's pronounced Heh-Soos, while in Portuguese (his language) it's Jeh-zoos.

So, in this scenario, does Katy just wait to see what Dita creates and make the cheaper, lamer and less talented version?
