Humor Chic - Andrew Cuomo and Barack Obama. Equal Love, yes we can!
New York State has legalized gay marriage, throwing down the gauntlet to the conservatives and at the same time showing the White House this is a policy on which liberals will judge Barack Obama's 2012 election campaign. Andrew Cuomo has made New York the sixth State of the Union where gays, lesbians and transgenders can legally marry.
The Italo-American Cuomo sent a message, clear and strong, to the White House in the middle of the month that President Barack Obama has dedicated to respecting the rights of "gays, lesbians and transgenders”. A whole new scenario is opening up for the White House. It will have to choose which side to take on one of the ethical issues which together with abortion will reflect the rifts between liberals and conservatives that Obama's campaign in 2008 said it was going to heal and overcome.
In an attempt to meet the demands of groups for the defence of gay rights, the President over the past year and a half has already taken several steps: the repeal of Clinton’s "Don’t ask don’t tell" policy, which discriminated against gays and lesbians in the armed forces, and the decision not to defend in court the law limiting marriage to unions between a man and a woman. These acts implied values that Obama wants to give more attention to. But if he has so far declined to speak openly in favor of gay marriage it’s because the polls suggest this is an issue that divides rather than unites African-Americans and Hispanics, two minorities of crucial importance to him in view of the 2012 elections. Splitting the Democrats on it would ultimately benefit the Republican challengers.
So Barack Obama has come to a fork in the road. An invitation to gather in New York to “go left” by taking up the battle for the legalization of gay marriage, outlawed in 39 of the 50 states - to revive the enthusiasm of the Democrat grass roots, or avoid taking sides openly so as not to lose crucial support among minorities who will be decisive for the conquest of states like Florida and New Mexico. The choice will say a lot not only about the President’s values, but also his election strategy. So which way do you think President Barack Obama will go? I’ve got my own idea!

Humor Chic - Karl Lagerfeld and Azzedine Alaia. Dwarves Sucks!
Fashion designer Azzedine Alaia attacks Karl Lagerfeld!
In a interview with Virgine Magazine Alaïa talks about Karl Lagerfeld.
How do you feel about Karl Lagerfeld?
I don’t like his fashion, his spirit, his attitude. It’s too much caricature. Karl Lagerfeld never touched a pair of scissors in his life. That doesn’t mean that he’s not great, but he’s part of another system. He has capacity. One day he does photography, the next he does advertisements for Coca-Cola. I would rather die than see my face in a car advertisement. We don’t do the same work. And I think that he is not doing a favor to young stylists who might think it works that way. They’re going to fall before they retire.
What do you think? Do you love the Dwarves?

Humor Chic - Anna Wintour and Azzedine Alaia. Dwarves Sucks!
Fashion designer Azzedine Alaia attacks Anna Wintour!
In a interview with Virgine Magazine Alaïa talks about Anna Wintour.
"I said it before. She runs the business (Vogue) very well, but not the fashion part. When I see how she is dressed, I don’t believe in her tastes one second. I can say it loudly! She hasn’t photographed my work in years even if I am a best seller in the U.S. and I have 140 square meters at Barneys. American women love me; I don’t need her support at all. Anna Wintour doesn’t deal with pictures; she is just doing PR and business, and she scares everybody. But when she sees me, she is the scared one. [Laughs.] Other people think like me, but don’t say it because they are afraid that Vogue won’t photograph them. Anyway, who will remember Anna Wintour in the history of fashion? No one. Take Diana Vreeland, she is remembered because she was so chic. What she did with the magazine was great, with Avedon and all the great photographers. Vogue remains while its fashion editors come and go."

Humor Chic - John Galliano, CYCLICAL DRINKING
The British designer, John Galliano, has gone on trial in France accused of making anti-Semitic insults at customers in a Paris cafe.
Mr Galliano, who was sacked by the Dior fashion house, told a packed courtroom that an addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs was to blame.
Galliano said: "I don't remember very well ... I have no recollection," adding: "I have a triple addiction. Alcohol, sleeping pills and Valium."
He later added: "I would like to apologise if my behaviour caused so much sadness ... to the victims, to the court. I've always condemned racism and anti-Semitism in all its forms."
What do you think? He loves Hitler, drugs or alcohol?

Humor Chic - The return of John Galliano. SUPERGALLIANO
Following the scandal concerning John Galliano' anti-semitic outburst against a French couple which cost him his post as Dior's creative Director, the stylist is under going rehab for his alcohol dependency. In a few days' time, on June 22nd, Galliano will be tried for racial abuse. It's amazing how the masked creator, the conjuror of farce par excellence, of entertainement and provocation, has been massacred and abandoned by the very same fashion community who only a while ago would eat from his plate and kissed his arse as if he were a KING.
However, many people now hope for the return of Galliano, and many are also ready to bet that he will be acquitted even before he gets to the trial. Let's just hope some good friend advises him beforehand that its isn't the closing moment of a catwalk show and stops him from showing up in a costume!

Humor Chic - Costas Voyatzis' clear vision
You just need to look around you to realize how, over the last ten years, everything in today's world, except for technology, has become so obsolete, so old and useless. Yes, useless. This is truly how we can define that great sea of repetitions, counterfeits and copies which mark our existence and have turned our times into a tape recorder which has got stuck on the usual twist of mediocrity and forgery. Where can we find someone with a vision? With new ideas? With courage? These are rare.
If you are really looking for change, for that revolution that thanks to the web is already underway, we suggest you start your daily excercises by following the advice of a man of true Talent: his name is Costas Voyatzis, the intelligent founder and the soul of the wonderful Blog Yatzer. Once you become a follower, however, beware, because if you wish to emulate him, well that will require deep reflections. Once you are sure you want to do so, go ahead, but very very calmly. !

Humor Chic - Anna Wintour. Beware of the Milanese whores
Beware Milanese whores
Once upon a time cities used to have brothels, places where prostitutes would entertain noblemen, businessmen, as well as soldiers and simple handymen. In France they were banned in 1946 with the passing of the "Loi Richard" which led to the closure of official call houses and recognized the exploitation of someone for prostitution purposes as a punishable offence without however saying anything on the act of prostitution itself, which ended up in a sort of limbo, being neither considered illegal nor legal.
In Italy also they were legal and State-controlled and brothels lived their moment of greatness during the twenty years of Fascism and Mussolini. However in 1949 the UN passed a regulation by which its member states were to prosecute whoever made a profit from the prostitution of other subjects: Italy had become a part of the UN in 1955 and thus was as risk of being incriminated. On February 20th 1958, the Italian Parliament passed the "Legge Merlin" which decreed the closure of brothels. It was a strong blow to Italian society which had always worshipped whores. But is was also a strong blow to society itself because, if on the one hand the law abolished brothels, on the other, it didn't create an alternative, leaving an immense void which has yet to be filled.
In Italy prostitution involves women from 65 different countries with a cash flow exceeding one billion Euros yearly, exorbitant sums, 90% of which is managed by mobsters.
Was it then so right a choice to shut brothels down and allow this huge market of flesh, abuse and in many instances of violence, to become the second biggest criminal business after drugs? What if the UN took a step backwards and discussed with its member States what a real solution this huge problem could be? Maybe the best answer might be to reopen bordellos: whores still exist and they always will do, whether they reveal or conceal themselves. There are street whores and “living room” whores, and yet there is still no clear answer…or maybe there is. Why don’t we take fashion as an example? In Italy for many years now we have had “ closed editorial offices ”, ideal places where privileged fashion journalists (that is to say little designer whores) have the possibility of selling themselves from morning till night, anywhere and everywhere, with no risks and without getting their hands dirty…always ready to swallow some dirty business which they know how to do. What the fuck, that really is luxury!

However beware because with the advent of the Internet some risks have arisen and in Milan especially the crisis is getting the better of all of them!!! Ehmmm, you still don’t understand why?
Let’s hope they don’t appeal to the UN!

Humor Chic - Grace Coddington and Piera Gelardi, a wonderful fruit feast
Seventy years of creativity, awe and wonder but it isn’t the special anniversary of luxury fashion Maison, and even less the usual fashion designer who in many cases is already long past that age and unfortunately we find them still there getting on our nerves instead of giving up, always there battling with diapers, older, deafer and gaga. But the seventy-year-old we’retalking about is very special, a unique and original woman, who has lived a lifetime bestriding her great friend: talent. To everyone else she’s Grace Coddington, creative director of American Vogue, but to us at Humor Chic our beloved Grandma Duck. It is unclear where Grandma Duck has set her sights on arriving, and in the dusty corridors of fashion you hear nothing but gossip about "when the fuck will this old shit woman packs up and leaves who will be her heir?” (A phrase that particularly in Milan is even more fashionable than the usual black, a new must that bounces about increasingly often among her colleagues at Condé Nast.)
Come on! You’re amazed! You didn’t know that rivers of love flow amid the various editors at Condé Nast !
With all frankness we at Humor Chic hope she keeps going forever, and would be willing to take Grandma Duck to work even in a wheelchair, so as not to see her editorial chair end up under the ass of some poor dressed up and untalented madwoman full of botox.
But listen up and make a note in your diary, because there is a great new talent now moving with style and creativity, powerful, impeccable, modern and absolutely fantastic. To everyone she's the wonderful Piera Gelardi, creative director of Refinery29, to us the “worthy successor” ... of our dear and beloved Grandma Duck!Enjoy the fruit feast everybody!

Humor Chic point of view - The Industry of bullshit, whores and hypocrisy. Silvio Berlusconi, Anna Wintour and Suzy Menkes. Hurray for the ass and the vagina!
Blame it on Berlusconi
"Blame it on Berlusconi" was the headline of an article in the International Herald Tribune written a few years back by Suzy Menkes. She described the collections seen on the catwalks of Italian fashion houses a product suitable for women of easy virtue, or whores, to speak clearly, just like those that appeal to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, guilty of being the inventor of the so-called "Veline", term used by Italians to describe shapely TV presenters, scantily clad exhibitionists, as Menkes observed with a clearly stated contempt. Menkes’s protest soon encountered the indignation of the creators she cited, such as Armani, Versace, Bottega Veneta and many others guilty of presenting revealing product collections, alluring and suitable for that kind of public. Just a bigmedia dust up without any real why or wherefore.
Silvio Berlusconi is no saint, as everyone knows. Just think of all the recent scandals that have seen him involved with various escorts, including a minor. But the point is different. Silvio Berlusconi as the case that sparked a trend that the majority see as immoral? Is he the cause of all the titillating pictures that so many media and fashion magazines are now publishing?
Is it his fault that everyone has been writing and talking for two months about Pippa Middleton’s ass? Is it his fault that everyone dreams of putting it into ... Pippa Middleton? Is it all his fault if everyone dreams of an orgy with Pippa Middleton?
Is it his fault that Vogue splashed a triptych of hideous fat and vulgar prostitutes on its cover? Is it his fault that Vogue splashes women with their legs open ready to get their cunts licked on the cover? Is it his fault if Vogue puts her on all fours with her tits to the wind and ready to squeeze a watermelon in her vagina? It’s his fault?
Yes, you're right it’s all his fault. So then it's his fault if Vogue Italy’s circulation is flagging and it desperately clings to these appalling straws in the hope of selling an extra copy? It’s his fault?
Yes? Is it really his fault? So it's not his fault if Vogue prefers a hodgepodge of women humiliated and submissive, sluts, whores, exhibitionists and not at all dressed like the Veline? Yes, you’re right, it’s his fault.
Fuck you Berlusconi! It’s all your fault!
But then a doubt arises. I get the impression that Lady Gaga has been honored as a style icon, but I think she doesn’t even know the word bra and even less panties, unlike vagina. Suzy, what do you say? Do you think that’s all his fault too?
Fuck you, hypocrisy. Suzy! Everybody loves the vagina and thank god soon I won’t be hearing all this crap because you and a lot of others will soon retire and I am sure this won’t be all his fault!

Humor Chic - Bernard Arnault has a message for Hermes
LVMH denies attempts to destabilize Hermes. Do you believe?
LVMH, which surreptitiously built up a stake in Hermes starting in 2008 and revealed its move last autumn, has long been courting Hermes but has repeatedly denied it would like to add the brand to its champagne-to-leather goods empire.
As Hermes was holding its annual shareholders' meeting in Paris, LVMH said it was keen to forge a dialogue with Hermes and it was not in the group's interest to destabilize it.
"It would be folly on our part to hamper the success of this great brand," LVMH vice president Pierre Gode said in a statement.
At Hermes AGM, Gode added: "LVMH has no intention of aggressively taking control of Hermes ... I make the wish that these artificial, sterile and groundless quarrels stop."
To defend itself from what it considered a hostile move by LVMH, Hermes's controlling family is preparing itself to set up a holding company controlling more than 50 percent of the maker of silk scarves, watches and high-end handbags.
"What bothers us is the way they did it," Bernard Puech told Le Figaro, referring to LVMH's stake building. "So we ask them to sell half of their stake to re-establish our stock market float."
