weird

>> Totally switching gears here, but since Robin Givhan wrote the article I think it applies enough.  Does anyone else find the fact that she wrote an article about "Hillary Clinton's Tentative Dip Into New Neckline Territory" ridiculous?  The lede especially cracks me up:There was cleavage on display Wednesday afternoon on C-SPAN2.

>> Totally switching gears here, but since Robin Givhan wrote the article I think it applies enough.  Does anyone else find the fact that she wrote an article about "Hillary Clinton's Tentative Dip Into New Neckline Territory" ridiculous?  The lede especially cracks me up:

There was cleavage on display Wednesday afternoon on C-SPAN2. It belonged to Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Let's not be over-dramatic or anything.  I'm a little unclear as to why a full-length article is being written on something like this, especially when Givhan writes:

To display cleavage in a setting that does not involve cocktails and hors d'oeuvres is a provocation.

Since when?  A comment like that seems really behind the times, even in the buttoned-up and desexualized world of conservatively-dressed politicians.

d.v. reincarnated?

>> I'm really loving this trend Vogue Paris has going of dressing up models as fashion industry bigwigs: first Sasha as John Galliano, and now Snejana as Anna Wintour for the August 2007 issue, shot by Mario Testino.  Who knew Snej could look so remarkably similar to Ms.

Snej even got the poses right!
