10 ideas for pris - prizes

Here ye, here ye...there are less than 72 hours before my birthday officially starts. Normally, I am not one to celebrate the day preferring to stay in bed with a bottle of champagne watching 16 Candles and dreaming of Jake Ryan and a pink Trans Am. But this year, I feel that I'm being selfish withholding the date and denying you the opportunity to buy me presents. So here is the list, in no particular order. Deviating from the list is not an option unless its Pucci, umk?



1. This AMAZEBALLS Lucite trunk. I'd use it for...uh...shipping. Yeah let's go with that.  "Shipping".



2. The "god save mcqueen" scarf I've been sweating like a fever. Watch your back, Nordstroms, when this goes on sale.  

3.  Isla de sa Ferradura - The island off Spain near Ibiza. Also near Mallorca which is also near Rafael Nadal. When it is listed as "price available upon request", you know it's a good deal.

4. Fat Karl Lagerfeld or skinny Karl...I'm not really picky, but I think fat Karl would be a barrel of laughs. ANNNND we could eat carbs together somuchfun!

5. Anything from Hermes. Again, I'm not picky. As long as it's an orange birkin. Ostrich or alligator not expected.

6. Carlos Costa....and his $500,000 watch. I'd preferably like him on the island (see #3). Best friend/client Rafa should also be included. Oh and throw Uncle Tony in too - why the hell not. It's my birthday! 

7. An afternoon of tea and shopping with Andre Leon Talley complete with fabulous cape. We could grab tea at Bergdorf's and walk along arm in arm down 5th Avenue. It would be the best afternoon EVER and maybe he would let me try on those Ferragamo pilgrim shoes.

8.  Since she's so hot right now, a private Adele concert where she sings Hall and Oates classics. ONLY Hall and Oates while the REAL Hall and Oates serve petit fours, cupcakes, and candy cigarettes on silver platters and refill champagne glasses.

9. A reenactment of the Designing Women episode where Susanne Sugarbaker attends the Miss Georgia World pageant years later and runs into Marjorie Leigh Winnick. Susanne must be played by Ms. Delta Burke herself, and Anthony can play the late Dixie Carter. Also, the baton must be "ON FIRE". THAT, ladies and gentlemen, will be the night the lights went out in Georgia!

10. And last, but certainly not least, Mr. Tom Selleck circa 1986.

Happy shopping!!

XOXO,

Bunny

NYFW RSVP ASAP



Tracy Reese...looks Tory Burch?

DVF

If the Fashion Week shows dictate what we will be wearing come fall 2012, get ready for a bleak pallet. I went through hundreds of pictures from the shows so far so you didn't have to. That's me. I'm a giver. Really though, if you haven't downloaded the Style app on your phone, you are missing out. Word on the street, and by street I mean catwalk, is it will be a season filled with blacks, browns, army greens and grays. Prints will also be big - lots of geometric shapes and some reds. Personally, I'm excited by the fashion on the horizon - mostly because my closet is filled with black, brown, gray, and navy already. DVF, Tracy Reese and Thakoon were the only ones to really add any color to their collections. Victoria Beckham killed it once again with her collection. It's very Parisian spy-chic. Honestly, I haven't been wowed by anything so far. Just a piece or two from each collection. Though, if you want to see a collection where every piece is spectacular, then look no further than Carolina Herrera.

"I passed bobby brown the other day and threw an old bag of chicken mcnuggets at his head"

SO. DAMN. SAD. about Whitney Houston right? But I don't think anyone is overly surprised. It's been a long time coming...many, many years. Can we say that Bobby was the root of all evil? I can remember when she first started dating him and the world was a gasp over their relationship. But then again, I loved him on their tv show "BOBBY!" thinking he was more of the grown up and she was a child. Do you remember the episode where he helped her....uh...evacuate her system (I will not go into anymore detail). She called that 'love'; I called it disgusting.

So what can we learn from this tragedy other than say no to drugs? Well if you are Lindsey Lohan - then pay attention because you are up next girlfriend. It's like a Dicken's novel before your very eyes Lindsey. Get the help you need. And stay far away from your mother and father. They are the ones bringing you down.

To remember Whitney in better times:



On to the Grammys...
First, I almost freaked out when I saw they were having a Beach Boys reunion. I cannot even tell you how much I love them. Would we consider that a "reunion". I definitely expected more out of them then just ONE miserable song. Whatever. I'll take it I guess.

And in usual Bunny format, I will bullet point my thoughts:

*LL Cool J as the host. What did you think? Bless his little heart, but no.
*Carrie Underwood's dress was stunning.

*Adele so adorable but her boy was not. Also, I know she was nervous, but she really should not have been chewing gum during the awards. Every time the camera flashed to her she was chomping away. Looked awful.
* I know I will get a lot of crap for this, but I'm starting to favor Chris brown over Rihanna. She's had a change of character that is not becoming. She seemed to buck the sympathy vote. But I'm glad she is no longer a red head. I hate fake reds.
*It seems that Bruno Mars and Alicia Keyes have same hairstylist and they should be fired.
*Fergie looked like a whore and that she got dressed haphazardly. If you take all that time to find a stunning gown, why in the world wouldn't you wear appropriate jewelery or, I don't know say, brush your hair.
*Kelly Carlson and the country guy seemed unsure of themselves in their duet. Do they normally sing together? Her hair was a train wreck. Seemed to be the theme last night.
*Coldplay. Eeek. Thanks Chris Martin for wearing your finest paintballin attire. Also, he sounded AWFUL live. Gwyneth's dress made up for it though. It was bananas.

another rousing rendition of....

It's Thursday ladies and gentlemen! You know what that means...thirsty thursday Lagerfeld Thursday!

From today's NY Mag The Cut....

Isaac Mizrahi showed some designer solidarity last night, standing up for Karl Lagerfeld after recent criticism over his calling Adele "a little too fat." "Icons are people too. They're allowed to express themselves too. If that's really what he thinks, then he's allowed to say that," Mizrahi said at the QVC runway show. "I'm serious, because someone has to defend people like Karl Lagerfeld. We have to defend Karl Lagerfeld's rights!"

I love Isaac. Karl did apologize to Adele kind-of-sort-of yesterday saying, “I’d like to say to Adele that I am your biggest admirer. Sometimes when you take a sentence out of the article it changes the meaning of the thought. What I said was in relation to Lana Del Rey and the sentence has since been taken out of context from how it was originally published. I actually prefer Adele, she is my favorite singer and I am a great admirer of her. I lost over 30 kilos over 10 years ago and have kept it off. I know how it feels when the press is mean to you in regards to your appearance. Adele is a beautiful girl. She is the best. And I can’t wait for her next CD.”


Somebody please answer this question for me...Who the hell is Lana Del Rey? I feel like I've missed something. How do people know her? What does she sing? Should I know her? How does Karl know her? And why the fuck doesn't Karl know me?
Forever and always,
XO

warren buffet pays 17% tax while the rest of us are in the 30% range. chew on that.

Happy start of NYC Fashion week! I hope to do better than the Paris fashion week on reports. But don't hold your breath.

Because I'm 170 years old, I watched CBS' person to person last night. Did anyone watch? If you didn't, I'll paint the scene. Charlie Rose, whom I now love, and Lara Logan sit back in big, comfy chairs while stars walk through their home with a camera being peppered with questions. Last night they visited George Clooney, Warren Buffet and Jon Bon Jovi. I know what you are thinking and yes, Bon Jovi IS still alive and unfortunately he DOES still live in New Jersey. Contain your retching.

First thing first, as much as I want to dislike him, I really do love George Clooney. My dislikes are mostly about his love of the wax skeleton Brad Pitt and his political views - not that he has them, but that he won't shut up about them.  He proudly displayed  pictures of he and Obama chillin' in the Oval only days after Obama had taken office (the signature read - thanks for the friendship (GAG)) and a large Shepard Fairey picture of "hope". But no matter what he says, he comes off as just a nice, down to earth, goofy guy.  And I love that he adopted a black cocker spaniel. If my black cocker continues with her attitude of "it's-too-much-energy-to-go-outside-to-use-the-bathroom-I'll-just-go-here", George might get another one on his door step and a bill to clean my sisal rug which she has destroyed.

Next up was Warren Buffet. How fucking cute is he? ADORABLE. I want to make him a pocket person and keep him on my desk. Maybe dress him up in festive holiday attire....bowties, hats, leprechan outfits. He is so unassuming and down to earth...stealing ties from his bestie, Jay Z. For his company, Berkshire Hathaway, to be trading at $118K A SHARE the offices of BH are a dump. Maybe that is why the stock is down almost $600 today...people hate ratty carpet. And his personal office is so sad looking. I mean, I know its Nebraska and all, but jeeze. Maybe he should replaced his kids photos with a nice colorful Rothko. Just saying.
I guess not all of us can have the same view I have....sigh.

XOXO,
Bunny

karl is the king of soundbites

The man, the myth, the legend that never sleeps was the special guest editor for the Metro World News in Paris yesterday and W-H-O-A. He gives new meaning to the word "ecentric", but I still love him. If you do nothing else all day, read these quotes because there is no way in hell you could make them up.

http://www.metro.us/newyork/life/article/1089980--karl-lagerfeld-on-lana-del-rey-the-greek-crisis-and-m-i-a-s-middle-finger

He also had this to say, though I can't find it in the Metro:
Q: Do you have much of a sex drive?

A: No, I'm not very much interested in that. But it's not a question of time, people can make quickies you know. [laughs] If you ask this kind of question, you get this kind of answer. [laughs]

Quickies can be fun.

Good, good, good! I find you talk like Europeans. [laughs.] I think sex is an overrated subject.

But it's the French way, though.

You know, I'm not French. I'm a bloody German.

When was the last time you were in love?

I don't know. I like freedom … Relationships happen for everybody, it can never be a problem. But it's not really my main thing.
Some other gems....

*I like to be on TV but I don't watch TV. I have no time for that.
*Influence has another name, and that's called copying. You see? It's in the air, I don't know. I'm like a TV antenna.
*On why he doesn't keep pets: They die so I don't like them. The drama is I had two I really liked and after they died I don't want another one. That's too depressing. sidenote: but what about this?!
*And speaking of death:
I think it's like a sleep where you don't wake up. You don't remember before, you don't remember after. The only thing is I don't want to be seen dead, huh? So anyway, over, over. The batter is finished, huh, puft.


Karl is so prolific. He might be bat-shit crazy, but then again, aren't we all. He just has a platform to speak his mind and I love him for that. Besties for-ever!

XOXO,
Bunny
