Can you tell me how you could remain so calm and studious backstage despite all the distractions? I need urgent help. Thank you!

Dear Jimmy and Tamara,

Dear Jimmy and Tamara,

I have 3 questions (and obviously 3 wishes) post viewing of your über-sultry Fall/Winter 2008/09 ad campaign photographed by Terry Richardson.

1. When you sell those lovely Glenys Python sandals (as shown below), please consider reassigning those endless legs as a complimentary item?

2. Could you please include this cute monkey as a sales item in stores – online and/or in boutiques? It goes well with my handbag and shoes! I promise to be kind to it.

3. Could you kindly send me some instructions upon achieving Angela’s look? You may consider just sending me Angela’s face instead for ease and simply to save the trees.

Dear John

Dear John,

I love you and Daria so much, but why no Masha for Dior Fall/Winter 2008/09 ads (/photographed by Craig McDean)? She opened the show so well channelling that sultry Mrs Robinson vibe so perfectly. I was hoping to see Masha in the ads so badly.  Maybe the next campaign? Please?

I understand that this is obviously a tough decision for you considering that neither girls have done a Christian Dior campaign before and yet both Ukrainian girls are so utterly amazing and have such a unique distinctive look that is just simply great for the campaign, but I just want to say that: Please give Masha a try in your next campaign. She won’t be a disappointment.

Regards,

How gorgeous? I love Masha in Marchesa! I think Marchesa is really stepping out of its shell, because the collection from this season and last season both overwhelmed me with joy so much. Thank you, Marchesa!

Sleeping Beauty

Is it models or sleeping beauty? Models sleeping backstage at Nina Ricci Fall/Winter 08/09 Show Paris

Is it models or sleeping beauty? Models sleeping backstage at Nina Ricci Fall/Winter 08/09 Show Paris

Yes, one of my major homework for the semester is due soon and yet, I cannot get myself to do it. “It’s boring!” I said to myself repeatedly. Instead, I spent my time hunting for models perfectly formed human beings in cyberspace till 4am. As a result, I could not wake up this morning. Thereby, Miss Руслана had to drive herself to her own exam without anyone wishing her good luck… Poor Руся! In addition, perhaps because of this cyberspace model hunt, someone in my dream said: “SO MANY BLONDES!”
