In reply to Stalking Anna Wintour: A Fashion's Night Out Scrapbook
During a brief pause for photogs tonight in Bergdorf's, THE Anna Wintour stared directly at me (while I was sipping on my free cocktail obvs), looked up and down at my Ann Taylor sale-rack dress and last season Michael Kors shoes (to think, an outfit I was mildly proud of only this morning!) and frowned in a way that only Anna Wintour can frown - that is, without moving any of her facial muscles or adjusting her infamous sunglasses. Needless to say, I was actually kind of honored. If you're going to get judged for what you're wearing, it might as well be by someone who knows what she's talking about right? All I could think about was thank god I wore heels today, she may have spit on me if she had seen the flip flops hidden in my purse...

@MissPeacock: let me guess, you're from sad midwestern transplant who thinks that five years in Murray Hill or whatever newly hip neighborhood makes you a native New Yawker and thus able to shit on the outer boroughs. either way, grow up, bulimia is so 87, loser.

Awesome report Brian!

Hey, did you get a chance to talk to Kors? If so, you should've asked him WHERE HE'S WAS for the last two episodes of Project Runway? (Filmed last Fall of course, but still ...)

@MisterHippity: Haha. I was thinking about that when I was there, but, alas, they would not let me anywhere near Mr. Kors. Maybe next year.

When it comes to a conceptual idea about modern American style and femininity in this century, Gwen Stefani actually makes a really good representation, albeit a very glossed over version of it compared to her own self ten years ago. She's decidedly not anglo, her hair is unnatural in every way, her figure is not super small (it might be the angle, but if her arms are actually like that, awesome), and she puts out pop songs inspired by various genres that anyone can dig, which is pretty democratized (and perhaps crass) of her. Anna Wintour represents none of these things, and so I can see why a picture of Gwen with her would be rather worthless, even though you're still totally getting a photo of Gwen.

Having said that, I like this version of Anna Wintour better and hope she keeps this up because it's kind of nice to see her smile. She has a nice life! I would still rather like to see an American lead American Vogue, though, although that would probably Rachel Zoe it all to hell.

@ampersandparade: It's the angle; she is skinny as all fuck. I just moved to NY, and she was my first celebrity sighting, in that very outfit at that very store. I was just there for the free booze, but Gwen Stefani walked by while I was humoring a perfume salesman. She is surprisingly tall and most definitely super small.

Hmmm. Went to the movies. Crowd- not that bad (though it was at 4pm.) Maybe it was a black black Friday.

O hai,

I just for back from a bike ride. I went through the local Jersey town where I am at the moment. Apart from the Starbucks and a couple of local restaurants, it was empty despite the rivers of lights hung from every vertical surface. Then I rode up to the Kmart, looking for snap swivels, which are a bit of fishing tackle from which I'm making bracelets. There may have been two dozen people in the entire store. A Radio Shack was completely empty. This got to be the worst shopping season in local memory. A big quell dommage for the local capitalists.

@Ratta: I suggest the semi-punky bracelets I make out of snap swivels. The really small ones. And at $.99 a pack it's affordable.

Now.

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life.

Follow up brain spasm: won't they be able to find this stuff on ebay for about 1/2 the sales price, and without getting elbowed in the nose?
