Pygmania

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? Naturally, Lord Byron sums it up: 'Tis not on youth's smooth cheek the blush alone which fades so fast/ But the tender bloom of heart is gone ere youth itself be past. ⚐ ANGIEPYMÉ at 10/03/2014 12:18:00 AM 3 Comments Labels: 1990s

~ ~ We the Pymies of the United Hates, in order to form a more perfect Fashunn, shall overlook, hereby, Coco Chanel's deeds most abhorrent* , in bestowing upon her the Honorary Seal of Pymproval : * In 1923, Vera Bate Lombardi, (born Sarah Gertrude Arkwright), reputedly the illegitimate daughter of the Marquess of Cambridge, afforded Chanel entry into the highest levels of British aristocracy. It was an elite group of associations revolving around such personages as Winston Churchill, aristocrats such as the Duke of Westminster, and royals such as Edward, Prince of Wales. It was in Monte Carlo in 1923, at age forty that Chanel was introduced by Lombardi to the vastly wealthy Duke of Westminster, Hugh Richard Arthur Grosvenor, known to his intimates as "Bendor". The Duke of Westminster lavished Chanel with extravagant jewels, costly art, and a home in London's prestigious Mayfair distric...

can't make this shit up. Yet, upon further research... "I'm stuck in a closet and its name is O'ahu ." ...maybe I don't much mind the alohawear movement, after all.  "I live in O'ahu, too." Clooney doesn't mind it, either.  "I like to  shave off my beard every 20 months or so." And now, for a small tangent.

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

Anna Dello Russo at H&M - Fashion Shower Why I only just discovered the brilliance - certain things are mysteries.

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.

“Now when I walk down Fifth Avenue in the summertime I just want to throw up. It seems that the fatter and uglier people are, the fewer clothes they wear. 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.
