Diane, A Shaded View on Fashion

Today in NYC as I sit in the Cornell club waiting for my 'luxury' bus to Ithica

Dear Shaded Viewers,

This is starting to feel like my 36 hours trip to New Zealand. Arrived from Paris this afternoon. Took the shuttle to Grand Central Station then a taxi to the Cornell Club. There are so many taxi's here,that for sure is a pleasure. Now I have a 4 hour layover until the 5 hour 'luxury' bus to Ithica. Blue skies and freezing cold.

You Wear it Well is off to Cornell University for the screening tomorrow. While in the business center of the Cornell club I decided to plug in my computer. Total meltdown, smoke, scent of burning rubber and GOd knows what else, quickly removed it before my macbook did the same. My Bless computer cables are with me and looking very good.

Later,

Diane

Actually the bus is quite luxurious, almost feels like being on a boat but shakes a lot.

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I visited the Maria Luisa showroom of Tuomas & Anna Laitinen, the brother and sister design team from FInland. I made them both try on the looks for me. Here are a few:

dino dinco - hot homo hijinx?

In the episode of "The Simpsons" featuring John Waters as the re-sale shop owner, John befriends the family and they all fall in love with him.  For fans of Italian cinema who may have missed this episode of the Simpsons, think of John's role as the gay cartoon version of Terrance Stamp's character in Pasolini's "Teorema," minus the sex.  Homer suggests to Marge that they should invite John and his wife or girlfriend over for dinner some night, having no clue that the sardonic, Hawaiian-shirt wearing, pencil mustachioed, kitchen-curtain-admiring John is a homo.  Marge tries to gently break the news to Homer, telling him, "Homer, John prefers the company of men," to which Homer replies, "Who doesn't?"

For those of you coming off the fashion show circuit, you probably noticed that you were surrounded by a good number of homosexuals.  Even if they don't carry a sign that says, "Yes, I am!" you could feel it in your gut that these guys prefer the company of John Waters and others of his gender.

Recently, I posted a peculiar video by a "reformed homosexual" minister type named Donnie Davies, who recorded the song "God Hates a Fag."

(N.B. It appears that YouTube and MySpace have both removed the video and it's become an instant, underground gay cinema cult classic!)

Disturbing to many,I suspected something queer was up, as the lyrics were way too smart, funny and "insider" to actually be from a genuine Christian fundy reformed-homosexual pop singer in a Village People mustache, pink shirt and a pair of package-eruptus-bearing white trousers.

And thus, it appears that some poofing sleuthing has been acheived:

See? the point is that god doesn't hate a fag...he just hates a fag who doesn't have a sense of humor about being one.

p.s. Check out Donnie's little video message, regarding...well...he's genius.

Bernhard Willhelm's show

Tue 30/01/2007 16:05 30012007090

My photos are so flou they are not worth posting. Bernhard gave an amazingly warm, personal trip through an imagined youth in the mountains with the opening sound track from the film Kasper Hauser by Werner Herzog. Nature theme seems strong with both Bernhard's and Henrik's collection. Easy shapes in interesting textiles. We had models with watering cans and dry ice.

Seen at Bernhard's show:
