Grace Coddington Part Deux
Here's another tidbit from The September Issue.
I'm telling you -- Grace Coddington is the STAR! The bit before this clip where she explained why she's still working with Vogue after all these years almost made me cry. If you haven't seen it yet, run, don't walk, run, to the nearest movie theater where it's showing.
You're welcome.
Here at the cinema about to watch the September Issue with John, Ashley and Jesse.

And please, for the life of god, invite my favourite Edward Enninful and Steven Meisel to Big Brother or something like that.
Thank you.
[Update - 5:14PM: I realized I left out Hamish Bowles who I love very much. But yes, I'd love to see him come out with exercise videos.]
And Emily Sylvana Soto-Ward?
That's all.

Anna Wintour Quotes + Free Ring Tones
Anna Wintour, who we all love very much, needs no introduction so let's cut to the chase.
I made these ring tones for my new baby which I'll blog about soon. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. All you need to do is download the audio files to your computer and transfer them to your phone. I cannot guarantee whether they'd work on your mobile or not (and quite frankly, I don't care so please don't ask me any tech support-related questions because I do not have the time) but lemme tell you they perfectly work on my phone.
Say the magic words: you're welcome.
PS. If you want to share these lovely ring tones to your own minions, please link to this page instead of linking to the files directly in your site. I'm paying for bandwidth charges not you.
Again, you're welcome. Enjoy! :)
I died. Died died died died died. I have NEVA EVA seen this side of Hamish Bowles before. Ever! Gurl werqed it hard for the money back in the day!!! I'm telling you... she pretty much outqueened them all!
I love!
You're welcome.
After the recent stunning cover featuring the models of the moment, American Vogue's gone back to the usual celebrity pool. Cameron Diaz is on the cover of their June 2009 issue.
I like it. There is something about the cover that screams "American chic". Maybe it's the blond in white combo? It's very American Vogue.
I have to admit though I'm not gonna run to the newsstands to buy this issue (unlike what I did to Michelle Obama's). Why buy when you can read it at the salon... for free?
US Vogue May 2009 Cover
OMG STUNNING! The highly-anticipated May 2009 cover of American Vogue featuring models is out. It's so huge I had to resize it. The front cover went to two of Anna's favourite old pets, Liya Kebede and Natalia Vodianova and *shock* Anna Jagodzinska, who came in as a surprise. Congratulations to HER!
Meanwhile, Isabeli Fontana, Jourdan Dunn, Raquel Zimmermann, Lara Stone, Caroline Trentini and Natasha Poly can be found on the pull-out.
So what do you all think?
I love the cover but a few of them look way too photoshopped and I don't like the casting that much.
It's about time American Vogue bust out a cover with models in it but Natalia Vodianova again? Isn't she already too established, too much of a veteran to even be considered as a 'face of the moment'?
Out of everyone in that mix, Natasha Poly deserved the main spot the most. She's the closest thing to a supermodel that we have right now. You know she works harder than most of the girls there...
I can't wait for this issue to hit the newstands here in the third world. I'm gonna buy myself a copy. Ok, maybe two or three copies because it would probably take a decade before we get another 'models' cover.
Diversity watchers rejoice: it's the third consecutive time American Vogue featured a black woman on the cover.
Last observation: how come there's not a single American model there?

Beyonce Knowles for Vogue
I think it was last year when I've finally come to terms that models have no place when it comes to American Vogue covers. It's simply not the magazine for them. I've given up on whingeing and whining because, quite frankly, it's pointless, useless and akin to giving a litany to a brick wall.
Anyhoo, Beyonce "Sasha Fierce" Knowles is on the cover of Vogue's April 2009 Shape Issue. TBH, I thought she's an interesting choice made by Anna. Didn't she just put First Lady Michelle Obama on this month's cover? When was the last time you saw two black women on the cover of Vogue in a row?
I like the simplicity of the cover. It's refreshing to see Beyonce in such an elegant and chic state. Ahhhh the power of Vogue photographers, Vogue airbrushing...
Did Vogue really just said "WORK IT"????
What do you think?
I don't know about you but I think I'm gonna buy a copy.
I know right?
