And that's the first time I think I've seen "girlie"written with a fancy Frenchy "ie" ending instead of good old English "girly". Anybody else remember the good old Lousia Alcott book where Polly is going round clutching pearls at all the city girls spelling their names with "ie" at the end?

I thought pussy bows were associated with Margaret Thatcher. Least girlie woman imaginable.

Absolutely. Fair trade is more or less a marketing gimmick, the real power lies with the overlords, and yet there is barely any mention, even in a forum like this, that they should be called to account and there should be greater responsibility/transparency etc etc.

"completely hairless"- ugh reminds me of that horrible dystopian novel- by Atwood? where all the nubile women have to be completely hairless, even plucking their eyelashes. It creeped me out so much couldn't read on.

Jeniifer Aniston, charismatic? charismatic????

"If I were David Bowie and Iman"... I'd give oursleves Andrej Peijic as a Valentine present, to be enjoyed by both :) Which, btw, looks like they have!

Which on is Andrei Peijic? ENQUIRING MINDS NEED TO KNOW!

Seconded. I also liked The Good Girl, and JA in it. But I adore Vince Vaughn's speaking voice and articulation, and he's just the epitome of "cool cat". I haven't seen that many movies with him though, so haven't got sick of him yet.

Sacrilege! Vince Vaughn in the same breath as Jennifer Aniston? Vince Vaughn is cool, JA is lame-o.

>> rich, famous, and very stylish....

"I think I might weep manly tears of joy!" - funny! I'm going to save that for future use!

believe me, being a baby stylist for photo shoots professionally must be much much harder than buying cute clothes for your own kids and snapping them. When my daughter was 3-4 months or something, we had a photography student friend of a friend over to take some professional-looking pictures of her. It was SO HARD!…

Absolutely. "fierce act of bravery"? is she being hipster ironic or what? I mean, it's totally ok to write an article about grey hair and styling it and who does etc, but to call it a "fierce act of bravery"? Really?

No comment on her hair, which is perfectly super-model-style ordinary-looking, but I do, do, do wish that vile shade of lipgoo which is supposed to evoke the vulva or something would disappear from the scene.

yeah, but the 'sleb interconnections are usually kept more hidden, after all we do like pretending we live in a meritocratic society, whereas in the court (or non-modern society in general), these connections were taken for granted, and were the order of the day.

>Lena Dunham's boyfriend dated Scarlett Johansson in high school...

ugh. It sounds so ew. I mean, this couple are not "ordinary" celebrities who are famous because of their looks and dubious talent- they've got where they are based on their intellect, strength of character, raw ambition, etc. Plus one half them holds the most important public office in America! Can't they sue the…

Oh god, I completely agree with you. It's as if the ONLY important, interesting, worthwhile enterprise in our lives is relationships and The One. All run in strict accordance to the rules set out in Hollywood rom coms. And you know, this shit isn't getting old, it's not getting tired, it's just going on and on,…

So many, but so, so, so many popular shows and films are devoted to the life of rich, as well as countless novel, plays etc etc. Why, look at Shakespeare, for heaven's sake! Every writer knows that people are only interested in rich people, or conversely, poor people, consumed as they are by the drudgery of day-to-day…

hmm- I never thought of Anna as having "understated" beauty- I always though the text made it quite clear that she was simply drop-dead gorgeous, very easily able to attract and charm any man. I remember the narrator going on about her shoulders and arms- poor Keira! Ava Gardner. Another old-school Hollywood who would…
