I feel him on that. Childhood, to me, was an extended period of abject disempowerment. As a kid, you don't have any say in where you go or what you do. You are legally barred from earning money under most circumstances, and therefore financial independence is beyond your reach. Even being in a public place can, for… Read more

I actually can't take credit for the headline, although I do think it's a well-meaning joke. (And a joke at the expense of those bright-line categories, not at the expense of Lyons.) Read more

Meanwhile, cigarette smoke will continue to blacken your lungs and the lungs of those around you. Whether the court rules that you can see a photo of it on your pack or not. Read more

You put that better than I could. Thanks. Read more

Did you miss the part where I said, Read more

I can report my dad has been wearing those hideous shoes — and not just to run in, which would be excusable! — for years. Please don't encourage him. Last time he came to town I had to ride the subway with my dad and his ten articulated toes. Read more

Thanks for this (grim) story; it's distressing that behavior like Marie's is tolerated by so many people within the industry. Models aren't disposable objects to be placed in front of a series of cameras until their earning power runs out. They're people, and often very young people at that. Read more

I have long been an advocate of this plan! Unfortunately, I think Lacroix ran out Bernard Arnault's patience long ago. Dammit. Read more

That's true, but it's not a museum show. Just an annual party/benefit with an honoree. The Couture Council is the Museum at FIT's membership organization. Read more

Duly noted, guys. I think we'd all like to write more about books, too. Read more

As stated above, "The White Album" is the titular essay of a collection also called The White Album, which was first published in 1979. Read more

Trying to find a synonym for "Australia" that started with a "K" drove me krazy. So eventually I gave up. That is my only regret. Read more

It depends on the length of the fiber — the longer the fiber or "staple," the more expensive the cashmere per pound, and the less pilling it will do. Unfortunately, clothing manufacturers pass along the greater cost of the raw material to the consumer. Read more

Slouching Towards Bethlehem is her first collection, and it begins with a kick-ass essay about a nasty California murder case. It ends with "Goodbye To All That," a famous essay about being young and poor and disconnected in New York City, which pretty much never fails to make me cry. Read more

Do you have any #corrections you'd like to share? Read more

Was anyone ever so young? I am here to tell you that someone was. Read more

If Ms. Didion wrote a book entirely composed of punctuation, I'm sure I would still adore it and carry it around in my purse for two weeks. Read more

Completely agreed with you on Magical Thinking. You know, before Quintana became ill and Dunne died, Didion had actually been working on a book about the Kobe Bryant rape case. That that book, she has said, will now likely never be written, is obviously not a tragedy that in any way compares to what Didion has… Read more

So long as your g-string is smaller than the g-string you're modeling, then all things are possible. Read more

Now you too can go through life knowing that gross sample panties are touched by many hands! Read more
