Sight for Sore Eyes



QUICK question for those of you who live in the United States... Have you seen the Lens Crafters commercial with a not so subtle product placement of white lace up Christian Louboutin ankle boots? That red sole is unmistakable, and I can spot these ultimate status shoes a mile a way.

When did Lens Crafters become synonymous with luxury and high fashion? Apparently, Lens Crafters wants those Loubtoutin wearing consumers to purchase their YSL and Prada glasses from them. Not rocket science, but isn't there a bit of irony in this... it's the ultimate statement that self image is important, even to those who don't see too well. These aren't the exact pair, but very similar. "Miss Fred" shoe boots priced at $695.00 USD by Christian Louboutin.
On another note, the weather in New York City is currently as pleasant as walking around the city in six inch open toe shoes. So I'm currently listening to Notwist's Pilot off their Neon Golden album. Their music's light, edgy and sweet...just exactly what I'm in the mood for today. If you like Death Cab for Cutie, Postal Service, or +/-, than you'll like Notwist. Check them out.

Oh, and in case Queen Bee Ms. Wintour looks extremely refreshed, that's because it's not Editrix Wintour! It's actually thinspo modelo Snejana Onopka in one of the best editorials in years, for the August Vogue Paris, shot by photographer extraordinaire, Mario Testino. I wonder how Ms. Anna feels about these photos. Surely the devil must be slightly flattered, or atleast amused... Snejana nailed this shoot, and this my darlings is flattery redefined. A fashion evolution!

As always, BRILLIANT work tino. Loves it.
