i got: Ipanema Gisele Bundchen sandal

Ipanema Gisele Bundchen sandal I always thought of the advertising campaigns and not the product with Gisele’s shoe company here. However, I saw some and thought there were cute. Surprisingly comfortable sandal and I use them a lot when walking to and from the office. I wore them to see Dark Knight in IMAX Saturday morning at 8:30am. They were perfect for standing in line at 7:30am with the rest of the geeks. The only thing I don’t like is the crystals embedded into the strap. I got these at Stoneridge in the Eaton Center. I think they were $25.

Karolina Kurkova is “fat” according to the Brazillians, what chance do you have?

Fat police target Victoria’s Secret model So Karolina Kurkova has been blasted for being “too fat” by the Brazilian media after appearance on the runway. The photo above is from that show. I’m going on the record here: Karolina isn’t fat! However she’s not in top model shape at the moment and I’m actually surprised that she walked, considering the Brazillians have blasted other models for the same reasons before. Before you go crazy and start calling me names please remember SHE IS A PROFESSIONAL MODEL! With that carries some expectations and she didn’t live up to those expectations. It’s like she walked into it, Brazil is the probably the most body conscious place in the world. Anyways, I hope she doesn’t take it too hard. The business is full of rejection and negativity so I’m hoping she has a thick skin.

I <3 Italian Vogue

Thanks to Fashionista I just heard about this. This just in from a source: Steven Meisel has just shot an entire issue of Vogue Italia with all black models, hoping that other issues of Vogue start to diversify their own portfolios. Apparently, all of the photo shoots have already happened, as model bookers at various agencies have been contacted and sourced for new, beautiful, not-white girls — and now they’re twittering about how cool the issue will be. No word on when the issue will hit stands or who’s on the cover (Jourdan Dunn? Chanel Iman?), but whatever: Steven Meisel you rock my world!

Vintage Naomi

Naomi is one of my all time favourite models. It’s awful, but her stock rose with me when she started beating on people. She’s completely crazy and I guess I kinda like that. image: foto_decadent: VOGUE (Italia) settembre 1996
