Michael Thompson: An Editorial Excerpt

If you haven't seen the current W, I suggest that you check out Thompson's photographs in the editorials. It takes a more photojournalistic perspective, but with a sprinkle of unwillingly fashionable school girl.

Book of the Month

Some people may find Anna Wintour evil ...but I think she's a genuis. My new favorite book of the month (okay, okay, coffeetable "book"):

In Vogue: The Illustrated History of the World's Most Famous Fashion Magazine

It's a little pricey, but its considered chump change for those of you who love to devour books, those who are aspiring fashionistas and those who are already fashionistas. It's $75, but no price is too little if you are the fashion type that splurges on those $500 Louboutins or $400 Manolos. Yeah..I love it even though I'm poor. Gimme money! GRRRR!! I need a new Alberta Ferretti dress.
