Alexander Wang: I love you. LOVE YOU.

Also, at least Pixie hasn't had a failed marriage yet. She'll save that for after her first couple of babies and drug convictions, because Daddy won't want her making Peaches' mistakes.

In that Telegraph article it says Daisy Lowe "is the daughter of Pearl Lowe and Danny Goffey, of SuperGrass"

...

I thought Daisy was Gavin Rossdale's love child? Am I thinking of someone else?

Did Alexander Wang actually design the condoms? Are they different then your average condom, or just coloured or some such? Or is it really just a new box design?

The article didn't explain ANYTHING when I clicked over, and then the internet ate my comment about it, and I really, really want to know.

Also, are the condoms a part of the Valentine's Day show? Please, somebody know the answers.

@AuntieBee: i don't know... but i DO have a free condom from planned parenthood with 'proper attire' printed on the wrapper in my bag... and i'm wondering if it's one of those? maybe it was a special promo or something? they were passing them out (with pelvic exam coupons- yay!) at a show. it doesn't look special to me; it's actually a really ugly yellow color... not at all appealing. which is why it hasn't been used.

I really can't get on board the "Maria Sharapova is so pretty" train. I just don't see he appeal. I mean, admire her because she's an amazing athlete, but don't try to tell me she's gorgeous or has a great sense of fashion because I don't think either of those are true.

Why can't they just stick with praising her tennis skills??

How do you design a condom? I don't think that a more streamlined fit is really what we're looking for.

Prada, meanwhile is concentrating on objects that are intimate in a different way: The next edition of its LG phone launched last week.

And it doesn't use ringtones... it's permanently set to vibrate.

Mandy Moore's new album was kind of a co-creation with Coach.

Does it come in a nice leather case with her initials on a shiny brass plaque on the outside?

Wang, whose fall/winter show is, appropriately, on Valentine's Day, said of the collaboration: "I used a spare design that felt sexy, modern and empowering; after all, women should always come first!"

Yes, I believe women should come first... they'd be a lot happier with us men if they did.

The cover line is "So young, so cool."

From the picture on the cover, it should be "So young, so raccoon."

Everyone is pissed off because she was born rich and famous because of her parents. She looks good to me and honestly I don't see why we can't cut her some slack considering both her mother and stepfather died tragically.

@bluebears: She looks like Mischa on that cover. Which...I'm not sure is a good thing. But I legitimately wish my parents would have given me the name Pixie. It would make my penchant for flitting around in wings and flower garlands seem much less odd.

I just don't get why some people who are born rich and famous are considered annoying and some aren't. everyone around here seems to love kelly osborne. and also, on that cover she looks like the clone of that model on the French Vogue on top of Jez. so...?

@EkaterinaBallerina: she's a model! The cover of vogue is not meant for dignitaries and politicians! The only requirements are that one be young, thin and good-looking , all of which she is. It's a fashion magazine for god's sake, it's not as though she was named Time's Person of the Year. Jeez...

@creme egg: I never liked Paula Yates. She wrote a nauseauating book extolling the simple pleasures of living in the country and adopting the role of the traditonal wife, only to dump the buccolic dream and cant the moment Hutchene got into bed with her on live television. Paula herself only became famous because her two famous fathers pulled strings for her in the media. I find it sickening the way book deals, newspaper and magazine columns, modelling etc are thrown into the laps of those famous ONLY because of who their parents are. It is no more palatable than the old boys' network, where you got the jobs based on who you knew rather than what you could do. It is even more unacceptable when so many people, who have worked their way up into these professions on talent alone are finding themselves out of a job.

This is what I want from clothes: that they are macabre but piscine. Yup. Every time I go to Target, I'm all, where are the scaly, fish blood print shifts that are supposed to be de rigeur for the spring? Where?

I had fairy dust and élan for breakfast.

By which I mean, a poptart and a cube of cheddar cheese.

But no, seriously, I found the bit interesting about how magazine-types are trying to find words that appeal to a more stingy sensibility. It's an industry that's been dripping with words like "luxe!" and "fashion-y!" and all kinds of other Lucky buzzwords, right?
