>> But they do have a knack for entertaining (and perhaps slightly harsh?) comments:

Last time I checked, Vogue was full of pictures and advertisements. If you want people in the picture business, why not have them talk about . . . how to dress to hide one's pot belly or eating disorder. I cannot imagine listening to them regurgitate their high-school reading. 

>> Hopefully a cozy one at that.  Roland Mouret has finally revealed what he's been up to with Simon Fuller of American Idol fame -- together they have formed a new London-based company to be known as 19 RM.  A 50-50 joint venture, the company "will create clothing designs and embark on a wide variety of fashion-related projects," according to WWD.  The first of hopefully many projects will be announced over the next few weeks.  Until then, Mouret leaves us with a promising message: “The world is our oyster. We have no limits, and we’ll be looking at fashion from a new angle.” As Prince George from Blackadder the Third would say, "Hurrah!"
