"All glammed up and somewhere to go, model Kate Moss put some extra effort into cutting a dash on the red carpet. With her blonde locks looking fuller than usual, the reason why became apparent as one of the model's hair extensions fell out leaving her red-faced. The embarrassing incident happened as Kate returned from the afterparty for her new fragrance 'Velvet Hour' at a Berlin Club." (Thisislondon)
"It’s less than a week into the general election campaign, but already Michelle Obama is a Republican target. Former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger leveled the first blow, introducing Republican John McCain’s wife at a fundraiser this week as someone who is 'proud of her country, not just once but always.' Obama wasn’t mentioned by name, but the audience got it." (Politico)
"The fact that someone heckled Kanye West during his show in Minneapolis isn't surprising. The real news here is that West calmly has the audience point out who "threw shit on the stage" before just as calmly continuing the show. West looks sorta like some kind of mellow-ass soldier from Ancient Rome in front of his swirly pink background. That said, as calm as he is for this minute and half of video, we're sure he'll lose his temper when he finds out someone brought a camera to his show." (Stereogum)
"Leo Fitzpatrick, a hat-topped friend and Neckface" via Papermag.
"Last night’s For Art's Sake benefit at Openhouse Gallery was hosted by artist Ross Bleckner and Katie Ford to raise funds for ACRIA (AIDS Community Research Initiative of America). Photographers, artists, models, actors, directors –- it was Cultural Sushi in the flesh! But for me a defining moment in party-time was when a three-year-long mystery was solved: I was able to put a face on graffiti guru Neck Face!" (Papermag)
"'Have you met the Nose?' asked Bulgari's Rory Hermelee to chicsters cocktailing about in the Elizabeth Street Gardens. Given that the event celebrated the house's latest fragrance, the nose in question belonged to none other than Carlos Benaim. The famed perfumer behind too many award-winning fragrances to count concocted Jasmin Noir, his first for Bulgari. He led the likes of Bettina Zilkha, Veronica Bulgari, Stefano Tonchi, Andrew Saffir and Daniel Benedict, Anh Duong, Allison Sarofim, Tom Florio, Di Petroff, and Dr. Lisa Airan, into the Olivier Chang-designed garden's very own scent tent .. Aside from Jasmin Noir (bien sûr), the talk of the townies was Arianna Huffington, whose guru status turned even the ever-composed Jane Larkworthy into a gushing superfan. 'I just love you!' the latter confessed, as Huffington smiled gracefully. The ever-chic blognate was full of confessions -- the first being that her fashion sense changed after turning Democrat. 'Especially my color palette,' she said, 'and I don't look sadly upon it. I don't wear primary colors. Now it's black, white, grey, brown.'" (Fashionweekdaily)
"Well, I’ve always been interested in music and when I was a kid, (I’m old enough to have been around when rock and roll was really popular), I especially liked New Orleans style of piano like Fats Domino, and I was taking piano lessons, but not in that. I was much more interested in figuring out how to play doo wop music and blues than in classical. When I learned how to do that well enough, I tried to write funny rock songs when I was in college. When I was on the Harvard Lampoon we actually made a record of some of them and the reason that’s relevant, I was hired to work on Sesame Street for quite different reasons right after it started but the music director had gone to Harvard with me and remembered I could write rock and roll, so when they need some for Sesame Street, he said, Do you want to try?"
