tee hee! "Any girl can be glamorous," Hedy Lamarr once said. "All she has to do is stand still and look stupid."

From tonight's Evening Standard: 'Twiggy, who likes to rescue those other leggy creatures whose ribs show, greyhounds, has never modelled fur, unlike Miss Moss, who has been known to wear monkey.' Practically unforgivable, the dead primate-wearing thing. And fancying Sadie Frost, deeply not...

glad you liked it! the person you should really being asking tho, without any doubt, is john effay, who does turn up here from time to time...

damn, missed the g2 pieces and haven't seen any papers today (oh, online! I'll have a look). Perhaps they lifted stuff from the thread....wouldn't be at all surprised. I've met some of the guardian folk during some internship a million years ago (don't ask, it was terrible, people spent all day...

A pretty decent piece today by Zadie Smith, of all people, on Garbo: http://film.guardian.co.uk/features/featurepages/0,4120,1570315,00.html

From the same anorak piece you just quoted: Now that would really be worth a front cover, and I bet she'd make sure she got it right too, not like Harry with his summer/winter uniform mixup...it's a shame she wasn't doing some rough speed mixed with washing powder tho. Hanging out with rock...

celeb/star but did you see that lost footage of Garbo they showed on newsnight yesterday? aged 44 or something, 'twas a screentest she did several years after quitting for a film that never got made. All she did was turn her head and smile and laugh and little things - but extremely mesmerising...

Martin - Any girl that makes you think of Wire can't be all that bad.... This is an extremely interesting point (and not just because I'm struggling with a certain interview right now and exactly this question - whether to leave it in q + a form, or make it a 'piece', incorporating the...

This is from one of the rare interviews online: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1285/is_3_29/ai_54133697/pg_2 [they're discussing Johnny Depp in the first part here] IS: Because you're equally famous. That will probably come as a shock to you, but it's true. KM: Yes, but it's...

oh, can't we go back to discussions about the relationship between prettiness/beauty/perfection in the wake of a celebrity-obsessed culture and la moss's decision to seduce the press by way of her silence?

didn't realise that was her in the ads until this thread (fugging rubbish facial recognition module). Thought it was a boy, actually, like some antony and the johnsons bandwagony junket rip-off ting... Moss is interesting not because she's beautiful, but because she's <i>perfectly pretty</i>...

I've always preferred gothwire, meself, especially the gear.

a mid-year April Fool's! splendid. Well, I suppose silly season ends today....

http://www.leninology.blogspot.com/ is your best bet for frequently updated political stuff. Some excellent writing and whithering contempt for the status quo....

I'd be in more or less total sympathy with Dominic's lists (in which case, there's no comparison...angularity or bongos....tough call. not.) but then Grace Jones messes everything up! perhaps warm leatherette is either absolute zero cold, or heat death of the universe warm. er, or both at the...

what do people mean by warm and cold here? sort of curious like. I mean, I think I know what I mean when I say that a track is one or the other, but then again, maybe not.

ha ha! I wondered if anyone was going to spot the fact that my list consisted almost entirely of paens to paedophilia/guilt-ridden homosexuality/the rape and murder of sexual partners/militaristic beats and other various forms of flirtation with fascist iconography (plus Bach!). so it was a...

tee hee to the whole thread! the following not very cold rationalist (hmm, well...): Laibach's Tanz mit Laibach + opus dei Bach's Mass in B minor Soft Cell sex dwarf/tainted love/memorabilia/etc alizee lolita gary puckett young girl Apoptygma Berzerk deep red current 93/fields of rape...

quiet, boy. or I'll stomp on you. and guess which boots I'll be wearing! (not really). I'm a nice girl at heart. some of my clothes even come from laura ashley fergodsake.
