Oh no! I guess we are both FINGERNAIL-SHAMING. Read more
Also, I'm not really sure if vulvas look dissimilar enough to me where I would be able to personally compliment seven different women on theirs. Read more
Something tells me that with those fingernails our stock model isn't exactly getting herself off on the regular, either. Read more
A very thoughtful response. I have considered many of the same questions as a person with dual citizenship (New Zealand and the U.S.) myself, and while my conclusion is a little different — I worry a lot about the fairness of voting for any government whose rule I don't have to live under — I have the utmost respect… Read more
I agree. As someone with dual citizenship, the question of where and whether to vote is a complicated one. The word democracy comes from the Greek demos, which means something like "people who live there." If you don't live in a place, what is your responsibility to its political system? Is it even fair to vote for a… Read more
Talley didn't visibly react that I could tell, and he just continued talking about Diana Vreeland and New York and Paris in the 70s and 80s once they piped down. I guess waiting for an opportunity to deliver a seemingly unrelated verbal dig is more his style. Read more
I should mention that André Leon Talley got his own back later that evening by bringing up the Brant/Seymour divorce, which was then ongoing (and very nasty). He said, "Didn't I just read about your parents in Page Six?" And Peter Brant II shut up real quick. Read more
I have my notes plus the whole thing on tape; this was in February of 2011. I wish he were kidding :( Read more
I once sat in a room with André Leon Talley and Peter Brant II while André Leon Talley talked about his many years in fashion. At one point, Talley touched on the reasons why he, growing up gay, black, and poor in pre-Civil Rights-era rural North Carolina, was too fearful to dress with the flamboyance he even then… Read more

I hadn't seen that. Sigh. Read more

Bonus picture because I'm really proud of this costume! It was obvs inspired by the finale look of Christian Lacroix's last ever couture collection, a dress I was lucky enough to see in person when it was on display at the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute last winter as part of the Sorolla costume show.
My New Zealand passport expires next year, and the passport office is rolling out a program where existing passport holders can apply to renew online and upload their own digital passport photos. I almost can't tell you how excited I am to renew my passport. The future is now! Read more
I learned the same thing late in my last year of high school. It was such a shock to me: those popular girls, when they thought of me, thought I was an okay person? They thought I wasn't completely nerdy and contemptible? They had noticed my stable female friendships? They thought I projected security? It was like… Read more
Dude, I think she's already there. In the full interview she talks about how she organizes her kitchen at home, and she has an entire pantry for what she calls her "orange foods" — Cheetos, Goldfish, and other chips. In other words, STONEDOUTOFMYMIND FOOD. Something tells me our gal likes the reefer. Read more
