What Would Anna Wintour Do? [11.3]


What would..

[The Editor and Chief…

Of the single most successful and culturally defining publication. Of all time.]

Anna Wintour do?

So have I this interesting ‘practice’ [for lack of better word] that I like to observe that I thought I would share with all of you. –Hopefully to which you will go on to share with your friends and family if you feel the same.

Are you ever feeling unsecure in your world be it work, romance, play, or home? Don’t lie and say you don’t because we all know it happens. So next time you are feeling no matter what the feeling is… be it good or bad. If you have had enough with it, try thinking to yourself.. “what would Anna Wintour do?”

Take a lesson from The Queen of Fierce and try to apply what you just thought of. Put on your metaphoric bug eyed glasses that you wear so well strut your stuff and make all the things you thought were in your way lie down to be your path. Never let who your are or where you want to be, be a deterant in your life. Anna Wintour that bitch and own it who know's maybe you'll end up the editor and chief of the next big fashion publication. Maybe it will be you who chooses what the entire world is wearing.

"People constantly make the mistake of comparing London with Newyork, Milan and Paris and thats not what it's about. London has its own fashion identity. You come here to find the next Alezander Mcqueen or John Galliano. You come to me in New York when you want to be big, its as simple as that." ---Anna Wintour

Holiday Music [11.2]



It's interesting how a simple 'haveyourselfamerrylittlechristmas' moment can change your day. Whether you are out in a swarm of people trying to be a gift for that special someone, or scrubbing your floorboards with amonia [okay maybe, it's just my mother and I that do that] or at work if you hear the right holiday tune it is interesting how that can turn your day into a 'holly jolley one [pun intended]

So I was thinking. Why not always just store your 'goodkingwenceslas' tune in the back of your head all year round? Maybe not a holiday song per-say. Maybe not even a song at all. Just something that you know can lift your spirits when your having a 'bluebluebluechristmas' sort of day.

Find your 'Letitsnowletitsnowletitsnow' and stick it in the back of your head. then next time your not 'homeforchirtmas' pull that hammer out of your little elf-toy-making-tool-belt and use it.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Vanity [11.1]



Vanity

We are all so vain its interesting really how we can even function as a working society. what is it really that makes us this way we will never know but i do know that what i am saying here is very much fact. Now I realise that I am crazy when it comes to getting ready in the morning but even still. I make coffee all day and yet i wake up two whole hours before I need to leave the house just to get ready. I know i can be ready in 25... but i like to spend the other 1 hour and 35 minutes staring at my self in the mirror.

This morning as i was riding the T into the city it really caught my attention how many people there are getting on the T [which by the way for those of you who dont know its a form of public transportation] in Luis Pant Suit, Prada Boots, with a Coach Bag. Is this really necessary? or even ethical?
NO
But here I sit on the T with a woman wearing a Versacce Scarf and a Marc Jacobs RTW [brilliant pairing by the way] Skirt across the isle from me. Our world is vain. I am vain. You are vain. WE ARE VAIN!

Its interesting how we are so vain that I dont understand how our society can function as it does and yet... if we were not so vain our society would not so much as exist let alone function.
So... I guess the vain is here to stay. [secretly: im rather okay with this]
