"Nuclear" Smear Campaign Against Fashion Blogger
Don't think for a second that Fox News has a monopoly on vicious, personal attacks against its media competitors. Daniel Saynt (pictured, left) of the blog Fashion Indie is in his own, particularly bitchy catfight with Sarah Conley and Julie Frederickson (pictured, right) of Coutorture. The battle started with a racial insult, then progressed to trash talking and now involves unflattering photos. And one gets the feeling that, when all is said and done, it's going to make the despicably nasty Fox-Times brawl look like a tea party. The whole thing started when Saynt wrote the following noxious critique of Vogue's Andre Leon Talley: More » -

When They Were Young
Bob Colacello's party photographs from the 1970s—when the reporter edited Andy Warhol's Interview magazine and chronicled New York's social scene—are strangely poignant. To think that immortal Chelsea boy Calvin Klein (top) was once so debonair! Grizzled mogul Barry Diller (pictured with Diane von Furstenberg then and now) had such a seductively wicked smile. It's hard to imagine Vogue's André Leon Talley (pictured next to Studio 54's Steve Rubell and Warhol) as anything other than the imposing African cardinal he plays on the red carpet. And then one remembers that today's socialites will one day appear equally ludicrous to the generation that comes after them, evidence that they were ever young buried in Patrick McMullan's photo database.

Good news: Celebrity is not only a major driver of the economy, it's a subject worthy of academic scrutiny. University of Southern California professor Elizabeth Currid, PhD., explains the sociology of fame and pop culture.

Tom Ford, Andre Leon Talley, Blackest Orchids. Make Your Own Joke.
The Transom risked smelling like Tom Ford's darkest fantasies to attend the launch party for his new perfume, Tom Ford Black Orchid. Ford himself claims to have cultivated the "blackest orchid in history." Why a black orchid? "It's so elusive and mysterious and sensual," Ford said, later adding that the new fragrance "absolutely captures the essence of the black orchid." Susan Orlean, who was not in attendance, set the record straight, though: "As far as I know, there is no such thing as a black orchid, and from what I was told, it's botanically impossible." She added that orchids, as anyone who's read her book knows, have no scent. Still, she sent her best wishes: "Go for it, Tom. Keep at it, buddy!" More » -

André Leon Talley
Vogue Editor-at-Large André Leon Talley has a book out, darling. And not just any book. A book about A.L.T. Oh, yes. Titled A.L.T. in homage to Diana Vreeland's D.V. "Concealed and mysterious...so am I," says A.L.T. "Ralph Lauren once said to me, 'I thought you had nothing inside.' But that was because I presented a veneer." More »
