Fashion photography



The Village Voice's "three young indie designers to check out now" story highlighted Rebecca Turbow's Safe Clothes line, which I thought had an oddly interesting sterile-bordering-on-creepy look.

Meanwhile, Vogue had a feature story on Alice in Wonderland, including these really interesting shots by Annie Leibovitz of various designers' take on Alice. Of course, the model they used (Natalia Vodianova) is 21 years old, which is much less creepy than Charles Dodgson taking photos of Alice Liddell.

Natalia Vodianova is damn hot nowadays. This month's Marie Claire (USA) featured her as one of the new beauties of the fashion world, and how perception of beauty has changed over the past decade (v.g. article, I say!) She's got rather unique features as compared to the supermodels in the 80s who look almost all like carbon copies of one another. Ok I'm rambling. I just think she's really cute with that Lolita look. Cheers!

You think Natalia V has a Lolita look? I think she does have unique features, but I'm not sure that's how I'd describe them.

Yeah, her high foreheade, huge eyes and pixie face make her look almost childlike, no?

Verbal agreement

From a Grauniad Guardian article on James Dyson , inventor of the dual-cyclone vacuum cleaner: He still has one major ambition. To become a verb, in the same way that Hoover - or, as he puts it, "the alternative" - has done. I suggest to him that people are already using his product but still saying they are "hoovering". He smiles. "I don't think they'll be doing that for long," he says. That struck me as unusual - it's very rare for a firm's leader to say that he wants his product to become a verb. Lots of other companies like TiVo and Google have tried desperately to avoid their name becoming a verb, for fear of the name becoming so generic that the trademark gets diluted. But then, the Languagehat archives seem to show (see comment near the bottom) that Dyson's big on turning his name into a verb. *** Sadly, due to its distinct lack of vowels, the chances of "sng" becoming a verb seem close to zero, regardless of whate...

50 Cent's crib

This New York Times article on 50 Cent's life in the sleepy suburb of Farmington, Conn. , is quite wry - But a cook at China Palace said Mr. Jackson could save 10 percent on any order over $30... Ah, the privileges of fame... 10% off Chinese takeout! For the party, Mr. Jackson ordered more than $5,000 worth of liquor, including "a lot of Baccardi," according to the owner of a Farmington liquor store who spoke on the condition of anonymity "to protect his privacy." Sipping Bacardi (ooh, caught a Times misspelling) like it's his birthday. How anonymous could a liquor store owner in a suburban town be? It's not like there're hundreds of liquor stores in the town, I'm guessing. I like how they keep referring to him as Mr. Jackson...
