kate and ze ugglies

>>  Oh dear.  Kate is still wearing her Uggs in a recent trip to Aspen -- that just means the trend is going to perpetuate longer.  I mean, if Kate wears it, that means it's cool, right?  Ehhh... it's still minus 50 in my books.

hair today, gone tomorrow

>>  Some more sixties style inspiration pour vous -- Marisa Berenson and unknown for American Vogue, 1968.  The best part is, there's a bit of Lolita chic going on, what with the big frilly pinafore and the cute little bow tights.  I adore the one with the parasol.

the real deal

>>  I have been searching high and low for this shirt... they used to have it in stock at the Andy Warhol Museum Store, but it had run out by the time I caught wind of it.  A mosaic, this shirt is, of the lovely Edie Sedgwick.  Get 'em while they're hot, because after all, they are hot.

ewww... ahhh...

>>  I'm dealing with a two-headed monster here.  On the one hand, I've got Gemma in the new Burberry ad... looking all kinds of blah, meh, and booooring.  Plastic, even.  She just looks so yellow and washed out.  What a disappointment compared to the lovely black and white ads from last season.  And then there's the Vogue Paris editorial.  Leave it to good old Vogue Paris to right things when they're wrong.  I finally got around to picking up the Dec/Jan edition today... I was so glad there was still one left.  I was half expecting there not to be any, considering how much everyone was drooling over Kate and her Scandalous Beaute.  Imagine my surprise when I flipped through it and found a fabulous unexpected Gemma editorial.  That girl is taking full advantage of having just turned 18.  Rawr.  And rawr some more.

Dos.

Uno Dos Tres Quatro.

Kim Basinger, 51 year old woman that she is, actress-not-model that she is, looks fantastic for Miu Miu.  Sultry...sexy...

But then after L.A. Confidential I've always been partial to her.
