"We tend to want the new things. [Designers] can do something that has a different look: a fresher look, a newer look - a new now, next now kind of look. And the problem with spending a lot of time focusing on what’s very now and very next is that it isn’t very forever; and that means it doesn’t last, because there’s someone else coming along trying to design what’s now and next after that."

I want your life, Jane Aldridge.
The shoes, the shopping, the traveling. Not so much the sex change though. Not so much.

You look like a model, you look stinky.

You may not know this, but we are getting rid of 16 years worth of accumulated clothes, shoes, hideous paintings and memorabilias.
As I’m folding some of my old clothes to give away, I see my mom folding carpenter jeans after carpenter jeans (which I shamefully admit, did use to wear - ouh la, the tragedy), forming an admirable pile of ridiculousness. What are you doing mom? I ask her. These, we will donate for the needy. After much consideration, I asked her: Really? Does this world need any more carpenter jeans?

Can we as old friends just see each other and have some food and wine? Then as we digest, briefly talk about our program, our school, and our future plans? Then as we get bored, slowly move out of the house, and go spend a little bit of couch money in some sleazy place on saint-laurent, where the music is just loud enough that we don’t have to talk about our program, our school, and our future plans any longer? Merci beaucoup.

Hello morning grey, it has been a while.
So very pleased to meet you. I hope you don’t mind how I look right now; I wasn’t expecting to see you this early. In fact, I was never expecting to see you on a Saturday nonetheless. What is this you say? You will swing by later today? Nonsense. (Closes the blinds and stops talking to myself).

My iPhone was in dyer need of music. COLORAMA fills my iPhone’s needs. The artwork fills my own needs.

"Let the celebrities have their own fashion weeks. We will entertain each other in private. Dinners, fashion, bookclubs.
Ahhhh, use this economy to refine your life. All those divorcees selling their Gucci bags and Rolexes. No, mon amie, you look sooo chic in your leggings and your fathers sweater, the plaid sneakers are charmant. Chic cannot be purchased. Let us sit back, and think of all the people we don’t have to invite, and then blame it on the economy! Vreeland was right when she said refusal is elegance!” - Fake Karl

In totally inappropriate laughs of the night
Lady Gaga kills a man due to Scrotum-like hairdo. It has been reported that a celebrity photographer died from a heart attack moments after Lady Gaga stepped on the red carpet - looking like this (I spare you the photograph - do take precautions, however if you click the link).
