On BONE STRUCTURE:
you need the Cheekbone the jaw line!! Whats the use of a pretty round face, its the definition that the camera loves!!!

On ANOREXIA:
there is no doubt that the top girls are much thinner, but also theyre now much taller, 5ft10”… it’s clear that we need to educate people.

On RACISM:
very few clients request black models :-(…We’ve got our lovely Jourdan [Dunn]. They gave her a standing ovation when she walked Paris

On KATE:

obsessive compulsive much!!! Black&white never looked soooo good.

This reminds me of him.

Its reallly reaallly hard to shock the hell out of me when people choose the most complete unnecessary things in life vs. a more practical way of living. Yeh buy those 2,000 dollar shoes, I mean if they make you happy, err…I know materialistic things shouldn’t be the end all (& they’re not) but every now and then I’ve succumb to the forces of making yourself feel better with a new cute expensive dress. People do crazy shit all the time to look good, feel good, live well…hehe…well…who cares right? Wrong… when people go above and beyond to justify theyre crazy to others, when they fully know theyre living breathing redicoulous!! No girl, don’t try to wrap your crazy in a pretty bow and call if Normal b/c its not…. its still crazy…yep, still crazy. Below the winner of the award for “Most effed’ up thing in the world” goes to the crazy that produced this…

Michael Tonello in an undated photo. Tonello has written a book about the five years he spend buying and re-selling Hermes elusive Birkin handbags, concluding that the much talked about waiting list for the iconic bag is just a fantastic marketing ploy.

“I would go into a store with a list in my Hermes Ulysse notebook and pile up scarves, shawls, bracelets, worth about $2,000. This made me seem a regular Hermes client,Once I had that pile ready to buy at the last moment I’d ask for a Birkin and they would usually produce one of the back room.. — and you tell me there is a waiting list?”

This is so funny and Interesting but makes complete sense, the whole allure of high fashion is that its so expensive, so unreachable and sooo hard to get. Its the reason girls save their money and buy one good pair of Balenciaga boots at Barneys a year, instead of 4 Steve Maddens, b/c they know that its unlikely that her friends will don the same pair. Hermes took advantage, and produced this faux waiting list to hunt women that truly believe that they are that one specail girl, with that one special birkin. clikclik for link.
