Carousel -- Week Ending 5th June 2007
[ 5 July 2007 ]
Yup, it’s early — I’m not having the best day :<
This carousel features more celebrities than you can shake a stick at… though why you’d want to in the first place is anybody’s guess…
She’s Got The Look from the Observer, on Rachel Zoe & her influence. (My new obsession, I don’t like her particularly, just think she is interesting.)
Violet Blue writes about a new type of genital plastic surgery, the g-shot, which made me cringe like mad. Your thoughts?
You know, I’ve actually decided that I love Victoria Beckham. Even in her oft-belittled outfits on Go Fug Yourself, I think she looks fantastic. Yes, she takes chances, & goddamnit, most of the time she looks fabulous. Three cheers! (I think she would benefit from eating more cake though.)
I like Mary-Kate Olsen & I hadn’t read this interview with her in W, so, if you care, here you go!
An interview with Vivienne Westwood in which she says most art is bullshit & criticises consumerism.
Looking after your clothes (especially cashmere), by my favourite Australian columnist, Maggie Alderson.
An excellent way to waste a lot of time — Australia’s Next Top Model, first season.
Tricia Royal writes about how to declutter your wardrobe & why less is more, & here’s part two!
How to blend your makeup, thanks to Elke Von Freudenberg, makeup artist extraordinaire! This is such a good tip, read it!
We all need to drink more water, here’s how to form the habit.
Tokyomade (two of my faaavourite people!) write about the most fashionable Japanese snacks. So adorable.
I found out via bglam that American Apparel are having a 10% off sale on their UK website, if you use the code JULY07UK at check-out… whee!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

I’m sorry you’re not having the best day, kitten :(
Victoria Beckham does look fantastic, but if she can move and/or breathe, it’s through no fault of her own. Whenever I see a photo of her, all I can think about is how uncomfortable she must be! I read a post a while back (I forget which blog it was on) where the blogger recreated some of VB’s outfits and spent the day in them, and, well, the acount of her day made me cringe. Sounded hideously painful.
The g-shot = very disturbing. I tend to recoil from anything that messes with genitalia…I mean, what if it goes wrong!? Not cool.
Very cool article with Vivienne Westwood – remind me to lend you her biography. It’s very comprehensive and a gorgeous hardcover edition.
Apparently American Apparel have an Australian site opening this month?! That would be super cool. Cheaper shipping is always tempting.
Natalie — Aw! I am feeling better now. Thank you :>
Kori — Cool idea for a blog post! I definitely get the impression that Ms. Beckham believes it’s necessary to suffer for fashion. I wonder whether she feels she deserves to feel uncomfortable? Anyway, personal psychology aside, I DO look think she has tremendous style & great presence, which is worth applauding!
Nadia — I always felt that way about clitoral piercings… why mess with it?! What if it stops working! Bad, BAD! The biography sounds faaaabulous, I’d love to have a read. Did you like the Derren Brown dvd? :D Oh & yes, yay American Apparel! I asked them, monnnnths ago, when they were planning on opening, & they said “Summer 07”. Their summer? Our summer? Who knew?! But August, that is good. Though I have to say, their shipping from LA is very, very quick.
I love Vivienne so much!
And the de-clutter article is just what we all need.
ooo lots of new links to fill my day with! To be honest though I’m not a big fan of all these skinny celebs such as posh, zoe and mary kate. They are so ugly! granted they could look gorgeous with a bit of weight on them, but to see bones all the time just makes me cring! As for Rachel Zoe she makes al l her “girls” look the same, wheres the individualism in that? boreing?
On the other hand Vivienne Westwood is an amazing woman. She stays true to who she is and puts herself out there even if she offends some people. Woman like this should be admired rather than girls who wont eat more than a bite of chocolate to stay looking “gorgeous”.
I like Posh & MK for their style alone (though I think MK has a beautiful face). Rachel Zoe I am not a fan of, but she is definitely INTERESTING to read about. Size is irrelevant, people are free to be as big or small as they please.
I have to agree with you about Victoria Beckham – she knows how to work it, and I love her hair. And Vivienne Westwood is AMAZING!
Posh is also so friendly, intelligent and funny! I’ve got her book ‘That Extra Half An Inch’ and even though it references mostly British websites and stores it’s full of wonderful beauty, fashion and general life tips. I highly, highly recommend it. I love herrrrr! She is the towering strength behind David Beckham and he knows it!
I don’t care that she’s tiny either, her style has nothing to do with her size it’s all attitude and self expression. She dares to try things no-one else would, that’s why I love her so :)
Isn’t Idud coming up soon???
I’m getting excited.
Also, I hope your day is better.
American Apparel’s US store is also taking off 20% from their sales items (it ends tomorrow, though)...you have to use the code JULY407.
MK’s great, I love her and Ashley so much. I just wish she was more outgoing in public!
I love Dame Westwood! I went to her catwalk show and we ran into each other, my heart jumped out of my throat.
I don’t know about Victoria Beckham, I think I’m tired of seeing her everywhere, she seems so forced.
Victoria Beckham kind of scares me. The Superficial said a few weeks ago “I could make a better human out of some broomsticks and some tape” and I kind of agree. She’s pretty for whatever she is though.
Mary-Kate is so freaking inspiring to me however. I bought an outfit today where I was totally channeling her.
Thanks for posting the article on decluttering your wardrobe…you totally inspired me to take the plunge already and just get rid of that awful pile in the corner of my room.
Brittany — Yes! I need to come up with an idea! I thought maybe we could all have a slumber party but I don’t know whether that’s really “dressing up”, per say..
Valerie — More outgoing how? Have you met them? Or do you mean paparazzi shots etc.? I watched a video yesterday of them RUNNING into a department store while all these goobers with cameras leapt in front of them. I felt so bad for them :\
I wish I could meet them! But when I say that they should be more outgoing in public, I mean that I wish they would let the paparazzi take more pictures of them without them covering their faces. And I wish that MK would talk more in interviews. She seems like such a strong woman, but her silence makes people think otherwise.
Valerie — I don’t know, they used to be very tolerant of the paparazzi but after years of that shit, I think anyone would get sick of it. I feel sorry for them, I think they deserve to go shopping without being harassed. Unfortunately I contribute to the problem because I love to see what they’re wearing, & I am curious about MK like the rest of her fans are. It’s not very cool really. & I have to say I think that her silence is because they’re young & cautious. The more you say, the bigger a hole you dig for yourself…
Gala – I agree with what you’re saying, the cameras have been following both of them since they were able to walk and talk. I’m sure they just want to be normal people. I contribute to the problem, too…I love their sense of style and I think both of them are so pretty!
Yeah, keeping quiet has given both of them a lot of privacy. But it’s my MK&A fan-side that wants to hear them say more, I guess. :)
