Perfect dress, perfect shoes & Anna Wintour

the perfect dress, take 2

These shoes were my first choice to pair The Perfect Dress with, but when I was shooting Take 1 the combination just didn't come out right in the photos. Perhaps the shoes were not feeling it that day (I tend to think of inanimate objects as alive, especially when they have so much character), perhaps it was my concept that was wrong & I had to settle for another pair. I wouldn't be me if I didn't try again though.

I finally watched Anna Wintour on Letterman and find it hard to comment on it because she's obviously a bigger "authority" than Letterman and I cannot escape the feeling that a lot of what they said was staged; it's a mystery to me why she decided to appear there in the first place (I have incredible difficulty believing they just invited her and she said yes) when she spent her entire life first trying to be, then actually being "above" such things & their exact opposite; why shatter your ice queen reputation now and try to soften the distance (that is bound to remain forever anyway)?

It's always puzzled me how people are constantly flabbergasted at the fact that Wintour isn't nice to them. Of course she isn't friendly, she doesn't have time! She's the editor-in-chief of one of the largest fashion publications in the world, deals with tons of people and takes tons of decisions each day, she's always in a rush, and both the pressure she's under and her responsibility are beyond most people's comprehension. A job like hers also requires that you basically give up your personal life. How else than bitchy she's supposed to act if you take into account all this I really wouldn't know.

I find Wintour's style rather bland so she never fascinated me as a fashion personality and prior to this interview which inspired me to wiki her I didn't even know she was originally from London. She has one of those fantastic accents that you cannot pin down and I liked the tone of her voice although I doubt she uses it off-camera very often. I think her appearing on the show might be remembered even more in the long run than The September Issue itself. You can be the main subject of 100 documentaries and keep your distance, but the appearance on Letterman was Wintour's venture into the world of "common people" wearing ugly grey socks and I have no words to describe this other than her "descent from the throne".


fake Holga effect (dark edges), brought to you by Photoshop!

кловн је био опасан тип
чувени шармер и љубавник
с очима као рефлектори
с очима само за мрак
није га плашила чак ни смрт
стара уседелица
његов је ред, чека на знак
сваки нови скок, можда промашај
и пад, пад, пад ...

I'm going back to Croatia for the weekend (probably the last chance to swim this year, not that I like the beach but having the option is always nice) and school starts next week for my brother which reminds me that my (year-long) holiday will be over all too soon as well. I want things to start happening, I want to meet more people, but I'm always afraid that I'll end up not having enough time for myself. And as I have nothing else to be worried about in life, I'm worrying about this.
