Congratulations to my almost-husband Paul McCartney for marrying the nice-seeming and very attractive Nancy Shevell. I think she’s perfect for him because she: doesn’t have a resume of crazy. can presumably tolerate annoying thumb activity, pot and the word “veggie.” Speaking of Paul, the New York Times called him “impossibly charming” in the Martin Scorsese…

Anna Wintour’s Genius Comment About Kanye West
The musically talented but otherwise insufferable Kanye “Gay Fish” West showed his first line of women’s clothing in Paris on Saturday, earning reviews such as “Good thing Kanye West has a day job.” I’ve become inured to random-ass celebrities who deem themselves qualified to launch clothing and jewelry lines to great fanfare just because they’ve…

Houndstooth in The New York Times
Back in July, I admired the mix of glen plaid and houndstooth filling the windows at Ferragamo’s 5th Avenue store, especially because I already own a similar look.
