Humor Chic point of view - Vogue Italia, simply racist. Jonathan Newhouse, Stop Eating Crap!
Vogue Italia, the Olympus of racism, ignorance and dementia.
It's simply terrible to see the dementia, lack of culture and the total absence of intelligence that seems to characterize the small and miserable editorial office of Vogue Italia, which over recent years has become so desperate as to survive by taking from other people's ideas here and there in the hope of selling the odd extra copy, but to no avail.
Amongst their latest monstrous in house creations we just have to mention an interesting article published on their website, praising the return in fashion of “slave earrings”. Read their wonderful thoughts below.
"Slave Earrings"
"Jewellery has always flirted with circular shapes, Especially for use in making earrings. The most classic models are the slave and Creole styles in gold hoops. If the name brings to the mind the decorative traditions of the women of color who were brought to the southern United States during the slave trade, the latest interpretation is pure freedom. Colored stones, pendants and multiple symbolic spheres. And the evolution goes on."
I bet you can’ believe it! The result? A stream of insults which included “idiots”, “lunatics”, “ignoramuses”, and “utter racists”.
The most knowledgeable of all the Italian “trashionistas” in the hen house, the conjuror of all bad taste, in other words the chief editor, with grotesque punctuality provided an explanation in a note declaring, “ We apologize for the incident, but it was an oversight, a translation error, we never meant to offend anyone and to show our good faith we are removing the entire article (note that the title was modified to “Ethnic Earrings and the background fashion images remained) .
A translation error? An oversight? If you really were in good faith, in such a situation you would either leave the whole article or remove it completely, don’t you agree?
You can’t write an article with an offensive title and then say that it was due to an oversight, a translation error when you have gone so far as to elaborate it with comments that would horrify the worst racists: “If the name brings to the mind the decorative traditions of the women of color who were brought to the southern United States during the slave trade, the latest interpretation is pure freedom”…
Is this last paragraph also an oversight? A translation error?
Slavery, deportations and holocausts don’t belong to the history of fashion, they are not an oversight, nor are they a squalid interpretation of glamour. Which fashion trend or article would you like to restore freedom to next? Clothing and accessories for the millions of Jews who arrived at Auschwitz during the Holocaust?
A slave is a deportee, not a traveler, not a dreamer, but a desperate man or woman deprived of freedom, soul, dignity and identity.
This is no error; this is you, a group of pathetic morons, with one thing in common… a racist upbringing.
And you dear Jonathan, do you not feel shame for all this? Yes, shame.
Humor Chic Racism Alert - Nelson Mandela, when racism advances
South African police are investigating an image posted of a white man with a hunting rifle, grinning and kneeling over the body of a black boy. The picture was published on the front page of South Africa's Sunday Times along with a plea by the police for any information on the man in the picture.
The undated picture is on the social networking site in the profile of a user called "Eugene Terrorblanche", a play on the name of the murdered leader of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB). As of yesterday, "Terrorblanche" had 590 "friends".
The police are investigating this Facebook racist, who has concealed his identity, for very good reason and we believe the public should assist [them]."
The national director of public prosecutions, Menzi Simelane, tweeted: "Race crime legislation is needed in SA" and DA leader Helen Zille said she was horrified by the picture.
"Whether or not the picture is genuine, it represents a scene of extreme violence perpetrated against a child by a man. The intention is to evoke racial hatred and polarisation," she said.
By yesterday afternoon, 25 Facebook users had removed themselves from Terrorblanche's contact list after authorities suggested that anyone who viewed the picture and failed to report it could face prosecution. SOURCE: Sunday Times

This deplorable incident takes us back to that terrible and shameful moment in history, apartheid, the racial segregation of blacks in South Africa perpertrated by whites as from 1954. The main man behind the ideology of apartheid was Prime Minister Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd (whom can be trully called the "architect of apartheid", and held his post from 1958 until he was murdered in 1966). Vorwoerd defined apartheid as "the policy of good of neighbourliness"
"Unite! Mobilize! Fight on! Between the anvil of united mass action and the hammer of the armed struggle we shall crush apartheid!", this was the slogan that launched Nelson Mandela, the leader in the fight against apartheid, who after 28 years in prison and after becoming head of State, was able to put an end to apartheid.
And to think that only a few days ago, the world of fashion witnessed yet another hideous racist episode. We are referring to that foul article written and published by Vogue Italia, who decided to turn slavery into a glamourous trend to be worn... in their sea of idiocy and total dementia.

Humor Chic - Adolf Hitler, I Love Coco Chanel
An American group of Holocaust survivors slammed the fashion house Chanel for rejecting a new biography's claim that its founder, Coco Chanel, was a Nazi spy.
Elan Steinberg, vice president of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants, said in a statement that his organization was "shocked" by the charges in "Sleeping with the Enemy: Coco Chanel's Secret War," by Hal Vaughan, and "the blithe and unsupported rejection of these charges by the Chanel fashion house."
Elan Steinberg, vice president of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants, said in a statement that his organization was "shocked" by the charges in "Sleeping with the Enemy: Coco Chanel's Secret War," by Hal Vaughan, and "the blithe and unsupported rejection of these charges by the Chanel fashion house."
The Chanel group in a statement denied the allegations beyond that "she had a relationship with a German aristocrat during the war" and "Clearly it wasn't the best period to have a love story with a German." It further denied that she was anti-Semitic based on her friendship with Jews and business ties with the Rothschild family.
Steinberg said that "The documents on Ms. Chanel's past are too serious and historically important to be cavalierly dismissed by the fashion house without any effort to confirm their veracity through objective research." An investigation, he added, "is the least that can be done for the sake of historical truth and the memory of Nazi victims. They are absolutely right!

Humor Chic - Coco Chanel, the scent of swastika
An antisemite fashionista
Coco Chanel like Cartier, Jean Cocteau or Edith Piaf? Just like her well known friends Coco was a rich and bored Nazi sympathizer, an antisemite fashionista so to speak. Coco was well aware of the power of charm, that mix of seduction, grace, mystery and elegance which allowed her to rise to success, from being a song performer in seedy cafés, to fashion goddess thanks to the support of wealthy lovers. A high class escort, many eminent lovers, such as the Duke of Westminster whose marriage offer she declined saying "There have been several Ducchesses of Westminster but there is only one Coco Chanel” (tantamount to saying "I am the best whore there is"). Anyway, though she did not marry him she did take on his surname, a rather inexplicable fact on which light has now been shed in the new biography entitled "Sleeping with the enemy, Coco Chanel’s secret war", by the brilliant and scrupolous journalist Val Haughan. The author discloses important details about Coco's life, revealing that during World War II she accepted to become e Nazi spy in order to help her nephew André, who was held prisoner in a German camp. Coco's antisemitism has however never been a secret. As a spy, Coco was recluted by the Abwehr, Germany's secret service, becoming agent F-7124, with the code name “Westminster”, just like her old friend and lover the Duke.
In those years there was nothing the ambitious Coco would go without, and her list of lovers went so far as to include Hans Gunther von Dincklage, a German military intelligence officer know as “Spatz," who received important decorations from Goebbels and Hitler himself.
Thanks to Spatz, Coco was given an apartment at the Ritz in Paris, which at the time had been taken over by the Nazis who had made it the Headquarters of their higher ranking officers. It was during this period that Chanel tried to exclude the Wertheimers, her Jewish partners, from ownership of Chanel n.5. The attempt however failed because, before seeking asylum in the United States, the Wertheimers had "nominally" turned ownership to the Frenchman Felix Amiot.
And thank God her plan failed!
Take care my chicest, when you go shopping make sure you use your five senses to the best: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell... and if mother nature has not been generous with you at least make the most of the ones you have, because antisemitism and racism are not just words, but also an awful and monstrous fashion trend....

Humor Chic - Fashion Legend Coco Chanel was a Nazi Chic
A new book about the life of Coco Chanel published in the United States on Tuesday aims to strengthen claims the French designer collaborated with the Nazis during World War II as a spy code-named "Westminster."
The book, "Sleeping With The Enemy: Coco Chanel's Secret War," by Paris-based American journalist Hal Vaughan, claims that not only was the designer the lover of a German officer, Hans Gunther von Dincklage, which has been well-documented, but they were spies who went on missions to Madrid and Berlin.
In addition, the book claims Chanel was deeply anti-Semitic.
"Vaughn reveals that Chanel was more than just a Nazi sympathizer and collaborator. She was a numbered Nazi agent working for Abwehr, Germany's military intelligence agency," publisher Alfred A. Knopf said in a statement.
OMG, Uncle Karl, What do you think?

Humor Chic - Christian Louboutin, a truly gloomy day
After numerous hearings, quite rightly accompanied by underlying sniggering on the part of those present in the courtroom (not belonging to the fashion industry) the long awaited verdict has finally been reached in the case which sees Christian Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent confront each other in the stylistic fashion confrontation concerning the use of the color red for shoe soles. To all common mortals: "Don't be alarmed, you are quite right, these issues are a load of crap as you might say. We know, but what can you do, that is how the little brains of the usual fashion egocentrics work." But let's read carefully what Federal Judge Victor Marrero wrote in denying Louboutin exclusivity and copyright for the use of the color red in the production of shoe soles:
"Because in the fashion industry color serves ornamental and aesthetic functions vital to robust competition, the court finds that Louboutin is unlikely to be able to prove that its red outsole brand is entitled to trademark protection, even if it has gained enough public recognition in the market to have acquired secondary meaning.''
Oh dear, shit, this is bad news, things are really starting to look a bit gloomy for Louboutin!
After all, what with the current economic crisis, he really couldn't expect red to belong just to him! Fuck,did we really need a judge to tell us that?
Please Judge Marrero, can you find the time to issue a sentence which will shed light on the true mental capacities of 75% of the players in the fashion world? Could you tell us when we can expect it?
We thank you for your time and attention, and we await your next amendment!

Humor Chic - Anna Wintour and Barack Obama, Capitalism: A Love Story
Last summer Anna Wintour opened the doors of her welcoming home to host a dinner in honor of President Barack Obama. The event attracted many well known names of the fashion industry who paid $30,400 a piece to attend and to lend their fiscal support to Obama and the Democrats.
This year the initiative in support of Barack Obama will once again take place, however the location and the cost of participation will change: infact the delightful Anna has chosen to undertake a very astute partnership with the extremly powerful film producer Harvey Weinstein. The house of the latter will be the perfect setting for the event and every couple attending will pay the modest sum of $71,600. The partnership is a great move as, in addition to the usual big names of the American fashion business, there will also be numerous celebrities, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Alicia Keys. The list of Harvey Weinstein's successful films includes "Shakespeare in Love", "Gangs of New York", "Fahrenheit 9/11", "Nine", "The Faculty", "Grindhouse", "Full Frontal", "Blue in the Face", "Capitalism: A Love Story" and many more. The question which more than any other is buzzing from one New York editorial offices to the other is "Which of these films will be the theme for the dinner?" Do any of you have any strange ideas on the subject by chance?

Humor Chic - Thylane Loubry Blondeau, No Child Abuse by aleXsandro Palombo
"The perfect gift for pedophiles"...you might remember this was how we defined last December's issue of Vogue France, which under the creative leadership (if you can call it that) of Carine Roitfeld published a photo shoot which used models of a young age to promote luxury objects for adults. The controversial shoot caused much polemic and even outraged our dear Bernard Arnault, causing the Condé Nast directors to make a bitter choice, that of removing Mrs Carine Roitfeld from her post.
One of the models, all dressed and made up like little brothel prostitutes, was Thylane Loubry Blondeau, the ten-year old daughter of model Patrick Blondeau, a former soccer player and Veronika Loubry. Thylene started modelling in October 2005 when she was four and now does Mom and Dad proud, having become very sought after in fashion and advertising.
What is really astonishing is not so much Thylene's beauty (which can be quickly lost once adolescence is over), but her effrontery, seductiveness and lack of innocence when she poses, verging on the chic porn style to which the young one has so often been exposed. Is this not clear? You have understood quite well: she has been exposed, and it is certainly not through her own free will as it is not natural for a 9 year old girl to wear stiletto heels, show off her legs in a whore-like fashion or smother her mouth with disgusting lipstick. Behing every pose, every manner, there is always an adult directing her.
"Children should be left to live as children."
What's your opinion? You might have something to say to that pack of adults out of their minds... no? Well, this time Thylane did so herself!

But photos of the Parisian preteen, whose lanky body and gap-toothed pout bring to mind full-grown size-zero magazine cover girls, have reignited the debate over the sexualization of young girls.

Humor Chic - Karl Lagerfeld and Giorgio Armani, I Love Escorts
We cannot deny that Grandpa Armani's soap opera is driving everybody wild, after all it always helps to have something fresh and frivolous to face the scorching summer!
Jano, the wonderful escort hired by Grandpa Armani has caused quite a sensation! It seems his agenda in Ibiza has no blanks... fully booked! And it appears that Giorgio Armani's entourage have all been hit by Escort mania, so much so that on the island and surrounding areas, there is not one to be found available, a big problem considering that Ibiza will soon be subject to another great wave of desperate and hungry designers.
They are young with amazing bodies, they love to dress fashionably, and have great care for their hair: these are high-class Escorts my friends, not young and desperate catwalk models. They are as expensive as the best Whores there are, but they are worth it, because it seems they can perform miracles, such as given anyone a hard on, even the most unfit old men! As long as they pay, and pay well!

Humor Chic Summer Scoop - Jano, the high-class escort who was cradling Grandpa Armani in the waters off Formentera
A few days ago the paparazzi immortalized Giorgio Armani being cuddled in the sea off the shores of Formentera by a mysterious and handsome young man. His name is Jano and he is a habitué of the Ibiza nightlife. It is easy to bump into him in one of the island's nightclubs (The Space Disco) attended by escorts who also act as bodyguards. Well done Giorgio, it seems you have followed Uncle Lagerfeld's advice to the letter: "only go with high-class escorts who expect payment: they satisfy your every desire to their best and above all you can be sure the next morning you won't be stuck with a nuisance by your side."
Jano and Giorgio together looked sweet and well-matched, and there is talk of love in and around the Ibiza VIP lounges... Fingers crossed for our dear Granpa Giorgio and we send our warmest congratulations.
And should you have sudden and unexpected desires, don't do anything stupid, make sure you only go with... high-class escorts!!

Humor Chic Trend Alert - Giorgio Armani and Richard Gere, American Gigolo
Until a few days ago when you thought about Giorgio Armani’s world the first thing you would think of was the elegant and masculine image of Richard Gere wearing Armani in the famous movie “American Gigolo” back in 1980.
Today if you think of Armani, the first thing that comes to mind is the water train of Signor Giorgio Armani, an elegant 77-year old man languishing in the arms of a handsome young man to let him self be cradled and dragged affectionately into the waters at Formentera. A picture that in Italy literally set the Web on fire!

A picture that in Italy literally set the Web on fire!
Famous for his stiff and reserved style, Mr. Armani has never indulged in unmasculine attitudes nor has he ever appreciated a certain kind of frivolity. Just think of the criticism he delivers to anyone who dares invent fashions that are a bit over the top. At this point one might wonder why he has succumbed to the Priscilla syndrome. Of course you’ll tell us affection or hugging is not a form of frivolity, and you're right, but applied to the style of Signor Armani it’s a bit like imagining Karl Lagerfeld as a bricklayer. You get the idea? Not yet ...
Let’s say it frankly, we expected the water train much more from those two great old ladies Valentino Garavani and Karl Lagerfeld, who have always been rather unmasculine, and much, much more ladylike!
Let’s say it frankly, we expected the water train much more from those two great old ladies Valentino Garavani and Karl Lagerfeld, who have always been rather unmasculine, and much, much more ladylike!
So what the hell happened to that masculine Giorgio Armani? Could it have been a shrewd marketing move? Or a hysterical summer urge seizing on a sprightly old trout?
The fact remains that given the guy involved, the photo in question is no joke because it is to all intents and purposes a real advertising campaign that threatens to permanently undermine the imagery of manhood and masculinity that have always been Armani’s style.
Meanwhile, as we waited to discover the identity of the mysterious young man and the implications of this exciting summer saga, we decided to publish some funny and interesting comments we found on the web. Enjoy!
