RIP Yves Saint Laurent
Fashion Designer legend Yves Saint Laurent passed away in Paris over the weekend (June 1, 2008) at age 71. God knows I never wore any of his designs nor did I carry one of the many YSL knockoff handbags available for purchase every five feet along Canal Street. But I do recall that Aerosmith name-checked him in a song called “Combination” off Rocks…which is one of their better albums from the ’70s. RIP, YSL.
Chris March: I Miss Him Already
I can’t say I wasn’t heartbroken at the outcome of last night’s Project Runway, when Chris March got eliminated over Rami Kashou. No one is denying that Rami is talented (if a bit of a one-note) and hot and everything, but he’s also kind of an asshole. And mean people suck. So I was really rooting for Chris to make it to Fashion Week at Bryant Park along with Christian and Jillian. Sadness. Next week’s finale is probably not going to spew forth a whole lot of surprises though, because I think Christian pretty much has this competition in the bag. We’ll see.
