Friday, October 03, 2014 If you were looking for pictures of Brad Pitt in the year 1998, you have come to the right place. You'll definitely want to click that image to enlarge. Enlarge and savor. Savor and enlarge. Rinse and repeat. Can you even? Thought not. Now, moving on to the real meat and potatoes of this post--cutting to a truer, madder and deeper chase --let us consider: The romance of Kate Moss and Johnny Depp. How great is it that all this happened?

Oh, how I wish that I could attend ADL's annual summit this Sunday in DC.  To chill with DVF and Elie Wiesel.  And, you know, Madeline Albright.  And Condi.  Always Condi. Practically my whole department will be there.  But I'm not invited to this exodus.   (ு८ு_ .:) a sample exodus

Just watched a video interview with her saying (in castellano) that music was a very important aspect of her 2013 spring line because it was inspired by Beethoven's sonata for piano and violin. "It was part of the creation of the whole collection, which is a collection with a touch of the 1940s for 2013." Also... she is such a cute abuelita. Can you imagine if your abuelita were Carolina Herrera? Where do I sign up? PS: I'm at Lincoln Center every morning as the hungover models are arriving (sprinting) to start getting done up for 10 AM shows.  Swoon.

The shorts and flip-flops and tight jeans on butts that go from here to Poughkeepsie.  I always say they should put people in jail for wearing clothes like that. Especially stretch jeans over [US] size 10 - they should be outlawed. Ten years ago people were starting to look like slobs in New York, now it's an epidemic.” Not that she would ever intervene on a bad case of misjudged style. “Oh, now that would be horrible. It's a free country - if you want to look like a freak, that's your problem. “Most of the young people today look dreadful. And celebrities look even worse. They don't know what to do with themselves. “At the Golden Globes and Oscars they all look alike - it seems like they're all wearing the same nightgown and this year nobody had any jewellery at all. “I mix everything up.
