Gwyneth Paltrow Covers GQ In June 2008

I think it’s politically correct to say that we’re in a Gwyneth-ization period right now. Today in NY, tomorrow Berlin, day after Rome and so on…

Gwyneth’s here, Gwyneth’s everywhere. Kinda like her bff Madonna. Wonder if they don’t share the same marketing and promotion company besides sharing the same gym and gym coach. And the same hair color. And the same haircut. And who knows what else!

Anyway, for June’s GQ, Gwyneth does a low-self-esteem number saying she felt like the worst actress ever, “unwatchably bad”.

Well, I wouldn’t go that far, I mean I can bear the sight of her in a movie, under the strict condition that the scene duration goes under 2 minutes.

Anyway, that’s me. And this is Gwyneth:

“People think I’m aloof, or cold, or that I breathe rarefied air – that’s not me.”

So, that’s what you must have said to Anna when she did you that Vogue wax-tronic thing, I presume! And it clearly ads value to your acting when showing your underwear…it makes you more touchable, indeed!

Luxury is often a privilege lacked of good taste. However, talking about a collector piece from 1853 one can hardly allow itself to splash it with such qualifications.

I indulge myself in calling this a bad taste piece of jewelry, with no other value than its time given one (of course, completely ignoring the gemstones worth). It’s a wedding diamond piece made from François Kramer for Napoleon III’s 1853 bride Empress Eugénie.

For such an exquisite piece of curtain-decoration-brooch, of course one would expect to pay a heavy price. The vendor’s estimations were in between $4 million and $6 million.

The buyer – Le Louvre itself who brought back home this precious piece from the French crown jewels – did not disclosed the acquisition price so we’re free to imagine whatever we want.

I wonder, just like that, if Le Louvre is allowed to pay $6 million for a single piece of antique crown jewelry, what is the French budget vision for the French First Lady? She’s got to be a precious one too…

…. By blending them together, of course. Preparing the world for their new Agila, Opel (Vauxhall) has released an original pair of shoes in the shape of the car.

Not sure if the actual model is wearable but if it would ever hit mass production, it would solve the snob’s problem of how to show off her car without actually driving it (or afterwards) – wear shoes in the shape of your car. Do you think it may work?

I can’t get tired of this Marc Jacobs campaign! It’s better than Halloween and every possible costume ball ever!

Miss La Moth here is like every housewife’s dream after a busy day at home. She forgot one of the children’s toys in her head but then again she’s all dressed up (uh, pardon my white bra, haven’t got anything else to match this lila scarf I put around my neck!) and wearing her fav grandma lunettes. Because grandma’ was a bourgeoise, you seeee….

This is the fourth episode of the mini-series showing each and every one of us the face behind the model.

They’re beautiful, but naturally. Makeup only enhances what nature proudly gifted. So here’s Carolina Irving arriving at 5.36pm and blossoming at 6.49pm with skin Care by Stella McCartney and calming and soothing elixir wearing a Boss Black Cape and a TSE Sweater.

For $45, Reef sells a special kind of sandal. One that can carry around drink in its heel. I wouldn’t go as far as actually wearing something like that, but it’s true they come up with pretty strange ideas to sell products lately.

There’s just one question coming into my mind when I look at these models – why not making high soles? So you’d have more to drink than for these little soles. It’s rather discriminatory…

I think by now everyone got used to Lauren Bush wearing her Feed bag from casual street style to fancy parties as part of her involvement in the U.N. World Food Program’s School Feeding operations.

The Feed bag is now set to fill the Whole Foods stores in U.S., Canada and U.K. The chain store has bought 430,000 bags. Each bag sold means 100 school meals to Rwanda children. I know it sounds beautiful and ambitious, but every now and then I get these system-confidence gaps and really ask myself if these actions get to their announced beneficiaries. What’s your take on that?
