THE YSL ROADY – A PROBLEM

by hurricanevanessa on September 30, 2009

Another con-trick perpetrated against silly women. Me included. Oh dear. I have only had my beautiful, gorgeous, heavily discounted Carolyn bag for three months and my eyes are already wandering. It is a sickness, that’s for sure. To fall in love with an over-priced handbag is idiotic enough, but one that hasn’t even got it’s [...]

by hurricanevanessa on September 30, 2009

Sigh. Where to start? With these beauts, maybe: Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar and Martin Scorsese have signed a petition that has “demanded the immediate release” of Roman Polanski, who was arrested in Switzerland on a U.S. arrest warrant related to a 1977 child sex charge. 138 people in the film industry signed the petition against [...]

ANOTHER TOTALLY UNSCIENTIFIC HURRICANEV ECONOMIC PREDICTION

by hurricanevanessa on September 30, 2009

I think the economy is picking up. Because, today is the end of the month and people have resigned. That hasn’t happened for a while. Anyone who has done Ecos101 knows that success is based on expectations, so the fact that some people have been seduced with super-ridiculous offers, or decided that they want to [...]

by hurricanevanessa on September 30, 2009

A Richard Prince “piece of art” is causing a huge controversy in London. The artwork features a naked Brooke Shields, at 10, oiled and standing in a bathtub. It is the centerpiece of Pop Life: Art In A Material World and it opens tomorrow. I could post the image here, as it is easily available [...]

He did make this rather marvellous belt of belts, which would make me happy Belt of belts So genius in his madness, perhaps. [...]

If all my dire warnings have fallen on deaf ears and anyone out there still sees a career as a model as attractive, here’s one way to leap to the top of the pile very, very quickly. (Although you might need a generous dollop of divine intervention to fly over every other would-be angel.) Want [...]
