On the Town: Anna Wintour

Funny how these Vogue women just do not ever justify themselves and rarely grant interviews (see previous post about Carine Roitfeld).


But last night in NYC Anna Wintour stepped out for a public “conversation” with Jonathan Tisch. Anna spoke about how to “look good without spending a lot of money.” (I am wiping the tears of mirth away from my eyes, because quite frankly, I think Anna would know squat about this subject).

PETA - who stalk Anna and have a fury against US Vogue - were present having rallied troops before hand. "This woman skins animals alive!" they shouted from the audience. A groupie yelled out “I love you Anna.” In her crisp British cut glass accent Anna said “"Fur is still a part of fashion, so Vogue will continue to report on it…..fashion means different things to different people”, which is a widley disingenuous answer, given that Anna famously picks and chooses what she reports and has her favorite designers, models and stylists and a blacklist that sends shivers down the spines of the fashion mavens.

Excuse me, but what's with the hair?


I love Diane von Furstenberg, I really do. That wrap dress (created almost 40 years ago) never goes out of style and can be worn by ANYONE. Seriously, anyone. And she gives the best advice to ladies of a certain age (I look forward to being a lady of a certain age so I can follow her advice).

She is a star and we love her. But...(and there had to be a but....) what is with the hair?

I'm sorry but if anyone else turned up with that bull's wool we would deem them too much like Susan Boyle and ship them off to Kim Vo for a makeover. (You know Kim Vo. He's always turning up on Oprah letting women live their best lives by cutting their hair and turning them into cougars).

Why why why Diane, are you hanging onto the hair? it looks like it needs a good conditioning pack, a serious trim, a color retouch (and rethink) and a serious session under the lawn mower.

PS : I love you regardless.
