>>  But Coco, Chanel, Caroline, Stam, Hilary, and Pat Schmid did a segment on The Today Show this morning (no talking, just walking) that I thought you might want to have a look at.  Because Ann Curry looks completely unprepared for the segment, makes innocuous comments, and Stam holds back giggles.  UPDATE:  If the video gets taken down from YouTube again, you can still watch it here.

>> Now this sounds like my kind of thrift store.  (Twenty five storage crates of Nan Kempner's clothing -- the entire contents of her closets -- await future sale here.   Even if you can't afford the severely discounted prices, it would still be a sight to see.)

>> She's a Vicky's Secret model by day, but by night, the high-fashion model in her comes back out.  Pictures recently surfaced verifying that Gisele Bundchen shot the YSL Fall 2007 campaign with Inez and Vinoodh -- you can see Inez, trusty camera in hand, at left in the green parka.

>>  April 30: mark it down now -- you have a date with the telly.  "Helmut by June," a portrait of Helmut Newton as seen through the lens of his wife June, premieres at 7 pm ET/PT on CINEMAX.  You get the unique experience of viewing what goes on behind the scenes at a Newton shoot in the nineties -- what a privilege.  The trailer can be seen here (and features one of my favorite Newton images, a nude woman half-eaten by a stuffed alligator).
