Oliver Craner

two words: Helena Christensen in a long white dress leading a white house through the desert, against a backdrop of bluest skies and the words “International Collections.”

White horse presumably

It's a good one this. I prefer my Craner with some glamour. Oliver Letwin is not glamour out and nor is Cardiff. It also has that good Craner quality of presenting a seductive image of something I am instinctively hostile towards. Eg tyrants, murderers, Anna Wintour, the fashion industry. So my reading is part admiration and envy, part bristling

If you're bristling, I know I've done well!

Well spotted, thanks.

I am talking about the ruthless use power for virtuous ends

Even the name Anna Wintour has a Cruella quality to it. How could a Tina Brown of all things ever compete.

Thank you, that's really helpful.

Corpsey offered to proof read for me once, then immediately backed out.

Winter, contour, a little French ju ne sais quoi

Tina Brown was too impatient and impulsive to compete with the long game of Anna Wintour.

'Nuclear Wintour', 'The Wintour of Our Discontent' - these were all used a million times.

Keep track of everyone who reads it, and everyone who doesn't. Make sure you know these things, remember, hold the grudges.

My one and only reader so far!

I consider myself the Anna Wintour of Dissensus.

Yes, everybody should know that I am still writing my memoir and you don't want to look bad in The Dissensus Chronicles.

I consider myself the Anna Wintour of Dissensus.

Definitely.

Anna Wintour's like someone merged Amanda Donohoe and the elderly Joan Didion.

Anna Wintour would crush you like an insignificant insect, Version.

I didn't say it was a bad thing, just a thing.

Sorry for insulting your mum, m8.
