Anna Wintour made the Rodarte sisters lose weight


If you've read this month's issue of Vogue, the one with the controversial Gisele/LeBron James cover, you'll find a particularly salacious article on how a Vogue editor approached the Rodarte sisters to "get healthy".

Of course, this is Anna Wintour's magazine, and you realize "get healthy" is really code for "lose weight, fatso."

She made Oprah lose weight to be on the cover of Vogue some years back. Yes. Oprah. Yes, that Oprah. Oprah. Yes. Holier-than-thou, beatified, sainted Oprah.

So, anyhow, the Rodarte girls are a bit chubby. I'd say voluptuous, but that would make them sound sexier than they are. So let's just stick with chubby. Why are they chubby? They sew lots of details on their sometimes kooky, sometimes beautiful dresses by hand. A lot of details. They're inside. A lot. They eat a lot of candy. They live in southern California. They drive everywhere and they don't get lots of exercise.

But now they're thinner, and they had to chronicle their "getting healther"/losing weight for Vogue. By their account, it sounded pretty miserable. Daily visits to a trainer, delivered meals (that part didn't sound so bad). And no candy.

Isn't Anna Wintour outrageous! She's great. She thinks people are too fat and she makes them diet.

Chloe Sevigny, Anna Wintour, Roger Federer

It's been a fortnight since I've blogged, and longer (gulp) since I've been to the gym. My paunch is growing. I've noticed all it takes is a few resto meals and a couple weeks away from the gym and presto, flab city. But hey, I moved to a new house and we're relaunching the website I'm the editor of. I been busy.

But you didn't visit me here to read about my visceral fat, you want to know about fashion.

Fashion week is over in NYC. I grieve that I don't live there, really I do. (Minus the bedbugs. I hear Manhattan has a raging bedbug problem).

Anna Wintour, that delicious diva of Vogue, and Roger Federer, the tennis superstar with the floppy hair and impeccable clothing are total BFFs (that's best friends forever, you knob).

Hmm. What else?

Oh, guess what, guess what.

Sometime actress/weird-clothes wearer ChloƩ Sevigny has, can you guess? Can you guess?

Launched her own fashion collection.

Quelle surprise.

Actually I think she has an individual, quirky, truly fashiony style and so I am interested in seeing what her collection looks like. Em. Sort of.

Phillip Lim, Thomas Pink open stores in NYC


Phillip Lim makes such cute clothes. I read somewhere that Anna Wintour gave him a major boost at the beginning of his career. Here he is at his brand new store on Mercer street in SoHo, with Debra Messing, who looks like a hag in this dress. Sorry dress, no offense to you.

Thomas Pink makes all kinds of fancy shirts for erstwhile playboys and wannabe Gordon Geckos, one presumes, and it has just opened an NYC shop, too, on -- where else -- Wall Street.
