Humor Chic - Franca Sozzani's editorial, a woman's true friend? Not a diamond anymore, but the gay Chiwawa for ever!
VOGAY cover, a piss very chic - Franca Sozzani and Dolce & GabbanaDuring my stay in Shanghai I started to receive a series of emails from desperate straight guys. Do you know the kind I mean? ... No? Those strange shameless beings who love to cheat on their partners! Mongrel scum, the pits.
All concerned and wanting explanations about a new trend launched by the slender editor of Vogue Italia, which has spread outrage among gays. What was it? Not to give their companions a diamond forever.... but a nice gadget forever, ... a gay Chiwawa!
What the hell, I said. Why break my bollocks? ... Oh well, I said with resignation. I’ll deal with it. After all I’ve got a loving wife and a few mistresses here and there myself. So I wrote to all of them saying, "Look, if the slender Franca has made this hoo-ha it’s not my fault, it’s all because of her fragile ego! Anyway I heard that this new gadget is very reliable, it comes with a guarantee and it’s as satisfying as a diamond. If you hurry there’s a boutique where they’re about to launch an interesting promotion. Pay 1 take 2 ... Dolce & Gabbana Chiwawas!
Below you’ll find the full editorial by the slender Franca Sozzani, written and published in the increasingly slender Vogue Italia.
We do not recommend it as reading matter for the usual jealous fashionistas, sour and in menopause, a class to which the slender Franca does not belong, because she is one of us, a beautiful teenage blogger!
Get a true friend: a gay!
No question about it: women like to have a gay man as a friend, in fact as a best friend.
It’s even being said that a gay is your only true and faithful friend, who will never betray you and never ask anything of you. This can be a pity. If you have all these qualities, why should you do without? But never mind, he’s so perfect in every way that he has to have some flaws.
First, a gay friend shouldn’t have a wife. They’re hateful, ugly and jealous. So he’ll always be free. As friends you can go around talking about men without running the risk he’ll try and steal yours. Or you his, with rare exceptions. He’ll never have higher heels or finer jewels. He’ll never turn to look at another woman. While watching the star in a movie he’ll never say that’s his ideal kind of woman.
He’ll always tell you you're beautiful because he has no interest in telling you a dress doesn’t suit you. Why irk you when basically it’s not his problem? It could be a problem with your husband (or boyfriend or partner).
But women like to be reassured and flattered. Affectionate sweet talk is better than those hateful remarks only men are capable of making.
Better be the icon of a gay who loves the way you dress than the partner of someone you have to force compliments out of, often about a garment that doesn’t suit you in the least. And then, let’s be honest, gays are often beautiful, refined, they have an aesthetic sense close to a woman’s and, apart from their mothers, they don’t have any shrewish women hanging around them ready to find fault. A true love idyll. It’s true, gays are gossipy. Well, just as much as straight guys! And then everyone enjoys talking (badly) about others.
But there’s a but. If you only mix with gay friends you might end up settling into a quiet routine. You will be admired, cosseted and cuddled so much that you'll be happy you no longer need to flirt with all the uncertainties involved. To him you’re always perfect. You can sleep in a sweater, socks and mask, or go out dressed in the weirdest ways. Anything goes with him. Certainly a boyfriend is a different kettle of fish.
The fashion world is dominated by women, where they outnumber men. And most fashionistas have a gay as their closest friend.
A friend who’s always so helpful and forgiving in his aesthetic judgments is reassuring. Once outside this gilded cage the reality is very different. It’s rare to find a boyfriend who remembers all your clothes and always tells you you’re lovely.
Remember what Michelle Obama told her husband, when he complimented her on a skirt from a few seasons back, after she’d already worn it several times: “Why don’t you mind your own business? Solve world hunger. Get out of my closet.”
So what’s the upshot? The solution is simple: get a boyfriend whose best friend is gay. And you’ll all live happily ever after!
Franca Sozzani
Judge for yourselves!
P.S. To Cathy Horyn on the NEW YORK TIMES, just to redress the balance, since you’ve already taken (goodness knows why?) Franca’s last editorial about the garbage in the Italian press and its cultural level, if you want to use this sublime Italian haute-culture editorial in your Blog, do a courtesy to all those who don’t breakfast in sequins & chiffon but spend every day out in the world battling for their rights and against homophobia! So Franca can again tell her readers she is authoritative because you’ve reproposed her editorial in the NYT, and everyone lived happily ever after!
Merci beaucoup!

Humor Chic "Toilet Very Chic" - Valentino Garavani, a very, very desperate time
How come our beloved Grandpa Valentino is so desperate?
Constipation?
A surfeit of oysters and caviar?
Perhaps the champagne was off?
A bad case of dysentery or just a little tummy ache?
Does he want a bigger castle than the one he lives in because he’s not satisfied? Can’t he find new servants for his domestic staff?
Is he sorry he realized only late in life that beauty can be inward and not just external?
Is he unable to find peace for the disaster and bad taste of the latest senseless collections made by the Creative Directors of Valentino?
What do you think?
Please be serious because this is certainly no time to laugh... Thank you

Humor Chic "Toilet Very Chic" 1st round - Anna Wintour, Single Man in New York
"Toilet very chic", fashion in the lavatory!
Let's begin our tour which examines the private toilets of some of fashion's personalities who were kind enough to invite us and reveal themselves in all their splendour. The first thing that manifests itself plainly is a very interesting trend which we would never have expected but which we truly appreciate and are eager to support, also because we are certain that it will help the fashion system fight the crisis and get rid of that layer of boredom and bitterness which it seems to have got itself stuck in!
