    Jealous, unpaid writers, tremble before my glory and DESPAIR.


    Like Paris Hilton or Dick Cheney, your sniveling hatred only makes me stronger, more powerful, more omnipotent...more FAMOUS.


    BAH ha ha ha ha ha (cough cough cough).


    (and with that she vanished behind a curtain of green fire).


    Love,

    Does she intend to spontaneously skip any Fashion Weeks, as she did last fall?


    I think we can all agree that premeditated spontaneity is the best kind of spontaneity.

    Isn't Agyness the embodiment of the times precisely because she's vaguely into a lot of things, while mostly doing nothing, all the while speaking like an intelligent person who's too lazy to think?

    "the visual articulation of our culture's unspoken hopes and latent desires,"


    Unspoken hopes? Latent desires? Really, New York Times? Since when has it been an American value NOT to speak about hope and desire? We are the hopiest and most-desir-y exhibitionist culture the world has ever seen. We Twit our hopes and desires 15 times a day! You expect me to PAY for this faux-intellectual psychobabble from armchair anthropologists armed with thesauruses? If I want to read nonsense, I've got plenty of links.

    The REAL reason Agyness Deyn is celebrated as our age's great beauty is so that men who read Details can tell themselves they're straight.

    The girl is cute at best, she does not have what it takes to be a true supermodel (hate that word!)--having a chameleon-like quality is essential (think Linda Evangelista), so versatile you might not even recognize her from one photo to the next. Top models can pull off any look thrown at them, from tomboy to mankiller/ vamp, and all sorts of outrageous looks in between.
    Agyness is locked into that short new wave do, probably forever bleach blond, yadda, yadda, yadda!
    It's a classic look that keeps coming back (like platforms), but y'all young'uns just don't know how many times this look has come down the pike--going way back to Edie Sedgwick (even Linda made 'news'20 years after with her version, and there were several in between--remember Jenny Howorth anyone?)! Yawn! I'm with the commenter who say's show me something I ain't seen before! Fashion is amazingly creative and imaginative, and at the same time it is unimaginative and sheep-like! Maddening!
    I'm sure she's a sweet kid--she does not seem terribly sophisticated though!

    The writer's name is Cintra Wilson. Here's her picture ... her appearance kind of goes with the writing style, no?

    @MisterHippity: Here is Cintra Wilson's bio, from her website:


    Cintra is originally from San Francisco, where she spent several years performing and writing for the stage. These writings begat journalistic writings, which in turn begat books and occasional forays into TV and screenwriting. After a very brief pit-stop in LA, she moved to New York, for obvious reasons.


    Ah, yes ... FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

    She used to write for the LA Times, but moved to the NY Times ... FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

    @MisterHippity: I accidentally visited Gawker, which begat a blog post about Agonynessyn Degynnyagyn...some model chick...which begat a horrendously sycophantic NYT piece, which begat an equally horrendous bio from the writer of the NYT piece, which begat wondering how I can't seem to manage landing a NYT gig, which begat my drift from religion, which begat my disbelief in God.

    @DrEngine: Cintra Wilson is actually a very FUNNY writer. A Massive Swelling is one hysterical book. And no, I am not her friend not her publicist. PS: Also, the article is not sycophantic: "In short, she is the apotheosis of a feral tween, circa 1983", "I started to look over her shoulder for a six-foot rabbit". etc.

    How did Gawker miss this quote: "Her eyes are the electric blue of snow cones or backlit cough drops; she periodically remembers to open them wider and irradiate me with her inner being."

    Every 5 or 10 years, a whole new generation of models (or singers or actors or cupcake bakers or, dare I say, reporters) "discover" the East Village, Converse sneakers and tattoos and believe themselves to be so totally unique. Can't we come up with (at least) some new hipster conventions so I can read a newspaper without regurgitating? It's been over 30 years since the Sex Pistols and we can't come up with anything new? What gives?

    Agyness Deyn is a distinctive-looking, competent model who's somehow become the pop culture runway model to watch.


    I think she's very talented and was blessed with amazing genes, but I honestly think that her being the IT model instead of Sessilee Lopez or Chanel Iman is a little... well, racist. She's gorgeous, but she's no more an EMBLEM OF THE TIMES than either of them.
