BOOM Humor Chic by aleXsandro Palombo
Dear friends,
a month has gone by since I entered the hospital to enjoy this charming and original shortcircuit, and it looks like I will be staying here for quite a while yet.............!!!! It' been difficult for me to publish new posts but what can I say? Finally I have the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful and unique holiday and I am doing my best to relax as much as possible. Not such a bad idea, don't you agree? After all, I'm in tatters!!!!!!!! but just a little!!! However let's not spread the word too much otherwise the usual shit heads will start shouting I'm dead!!! Let's leave them to their dusty illusions...
Amongst the various recreational activities which I started some days ago, at a certain hour, I get into my lovely pushchair in order to be taken to another ward where I undergo a special therapy. In truth I am not disable, although certain parts of my body are paralyzed, I am just an artist who is undergoing a wonderful training in order to enter a new reality !!!!
I must admit that I am very enthusiastic about this new and interesting experience, not only because I am being given the opportunity to discover, to investigate and to appreciate a new world. But above all I feel as if I have been given the amazing possibility of dying and being reborn at the same time, in order to explore and embody new emotions, information, stories, events, and as always my usual outbursts of anger ...which will not only make my heart, my life, my mind, bigger... but above all will increase my madness, nourishing with even more strength and vigour my corrosive and poignant trait... for my happiness, your happiness and above all that of everyone else... of those who are worthy but as always also of those ....usual pieces of shit so to speak!!!!
Au revoir chicest

aleXsandro Palombo. FUCK YOU CANCER
Dear friends,
as per my holiday schedule following my first operation against the tumor yesterday morning at 10:00 am I once again entered the operating theatre in order to undergo another operation, this time a vital transplant... I serenely faced yet another "piece of cake" in the hands of an amazing team. At about 8.00 pm I was returned to my room in what I can now consider my new home seeing as I will probably have to stay here quite a while!
After the operation I was kept a few hours under observation in the intensive therapy room; once it was time to go back to my room I was joined by a nurse whose job it is to push the patients on the hospital bed. From the accent I understood he was of Sicilian origins, but from the way he would not shut up I also understood he was a geat pain in the ass, a real madman... a blabbermouth... a great blabbermouth...
My brain felt like it was about to explode, I had terrible pain everywhere, endless nausea, I was unable to speak, holy shit I felt awful, I felt like I was dying and my only desire was silence, quiet, and instead no, fucking hell, the crazy nurse kept talking, ceaselessly, bombarding me with questions which I was unable to answer, but undaunted he just went on.
What's your job? I did not answer. I do this job from morning to night, I break my bones and get paid shit. But I'm sure your job is better than mine... ? And still I did not answer. With what I earn I'm out of money by mid month, I work and work for nothing... You can talk, don't worry, if you don't feel well just say so, don't be afraid to ask, I'm here... also to help you. And still I would not answer. Today was a bad day, did you see how busy it was? And still I would not answer... It's always hectic here, it drives you mad, but where do you work? And still I would not answer... Then he bumped into a colleague who asked him "What happened to his one?" (refering to me) ... And he answered "He underwent a long and complicated operation "... and I thought to myself "Fuck, fuck, fuck! I much prefer the tumor to this great pain in the ass!"
Fuck you cancer!
Fuck you cancer!

aleXsandro Palombo. Chasing the intruder
A few days ago I was told that there was a 90% chance I had a lung tumor and the first thing that came to mind was: fucking hell, I was wrong to smoke so little and above all not to ever smoke a joint in my life! Fuck. And now I am going to have to die due to some common disease, by no means original, what a shitty boring life, fuck. But thank heavens in the space of a few hours the verdict improved, the analysis carried out acquitted Mr lung cancer. "Great" I said to myself... we said to ourselves, they said to themselves, but then who the hell is this new friend who is fucking around with me? It was no use, he would not introduce himself and he just carried on destroying my house with undeterred force. Shit, come on, I know I'm considered a crazy and peculiar artist, a welcoming and giving person, but fucking hell I still demand that at least I know the name of whoever I'm supposed to be talking to.
I love encounters, confrontation, harsh, direct, impulsive, but bad manners, cowardice, abuse, disrespect, violence and arrogance are attitudes I cannot stand...
I underwent urgent surgery, giving me the opportunity to continue using my house, but a significant part of it has been destroyed, devastated, desecrated by this rude intruder.
Finally I got to meet my unwelcome guest... Mr Rare Tumor, 50 cases worldwide.. but from today 51!! "Shit" I thought, now this is good news, I much prefer a rare and original death.
He has done much damage, depriving me of my independence, but not of my madness, my strength, my courage, my heart, my head. Then I faced the 8 longest hours of my life, waiting for the biopsy results, will I SURvive or die? The evildoer... has been evicted! But as always, good news never comes alone, and in order to limit the damage done and avoid future complications tomorrow morning I will undergo an urgent major transplant operation... And I am certain that very soon... I will be laughing about this too!
aleXsandro Palombo
My sincerest thanks go to all those who in these hours have sent me messages of concern and affection. I will not be able to use my famous pencil for a while, to the relief of some... and to the disappointment of many, however in the meantime rest assured that I will always be here, animated by an insatiable and uncontrollable... spirit.
See you soon on Humor Chic!
Thank you

We Love aleXsandro Palombo
Dear All,
as from today Humor Chic will temporarily suspend its activities and we are unable to say when they will resume, however we hope to do so as soon as possible.
aleXsandro Palombo has been affected by a rare form of cancer which has had profound physical implications including paralysis. Staff and his closest collaborators, his family and his dearest friends who have always supported him remain close to him.
aleXsandro will have to fight his battle and we are certain that he will do so with great courage, as always, and will not let us down.

To all those who were ready to cry victory...take a step back ... because Humor Chic will be back.
We Love you aleXsandro

Humor Chic - Carine Roitfeld against Emmanuelle Alt. It’s not chic to mention traitors.
Carine Roitfeld, former editor of Vogue France, confesses herself to "Io Donna", the women's supplement to the Italian daily "Corriere della Sera".
"I don’t talk to Emmanuelle Alt any more. If someone betrays you, then you don’t talk to them anymore, right?" And she adds. "It isn’t chic to talk about people who’ve betrayed you. You stop thinking about them. It’s a lesson I learned from my father.” This was Carine’s opening blast at Alt, a former colleague who stole her job as editor of Vogue France.
"I was very happy and I did a great job for Vogue. At first no one wanted to work there. It had no prestige, no big names and no outstanding models or photographers. Now I hope it just keeps up the standard," says Carine.
She was then asked who fired her or why she resigned from Vogue. Was it over those photos in the December issue using young kids in provocative poses, makeup and heels?
"There was no reason. I wanted to quit, and the right moment seemed to be the 90th anniversary of Vogue France. But then they asked me to stay on, and I did. Only six months after I decided to leave they started saying I was fired over the kids’ photo shoot. But in America they have competitions and shows with children dressed and made up like adults. It was a misinterpretation, You see what you want to see. Back in the 70s Vogue France was very provocative and packed with big names, from Jean Cocteau to Françoise Sagan. I tried to restore that quality and freedom. But now it’s no longer possible.”
Where's the boundary we shouldn’t overstep in promoting the fashion industry?
“I've done it all, bondage, sexy images. I’ve used transsexuals and old women, but I’ve never sent harmful messages. I've never done anything contrary to my ethic as a mother. Children are like sponges, they absorb everything. I avoid images that might evoke things like drugs, suicide, anorexia or violence. We used to have photos with cigarettes, but not any more."
And what do you think of Anna Wintour?
“She’s very determined, very honest. If she doesn’t like something she picks up the phone and says so. She’s not a stylist like me, she’s a politician, a power figure.”
But is it true you wanted Wintour’s job?
“I’m very French, so I could never edit Vogue USA. In America they’re not ready yet to show even the shadow of a nipple."
There's no denying it, Carine is a saint. She’s very fond of children, and would never do anything contrary to her ethic as a mother! She would never send a bad message that could evoke drugs, suicide, anorexia and violence. Because, you know, kids are like sponges, absorbing everything! You're absolutely right, Carine, but little girls dressed and made up like tarts, in high heels and with their thighs to the wind. What do you say? Did they absorb it all? In that case it was only your bad treatment, an error which produced a brilliant communications campaign, pro…pro…pro-pedophilia.
Humor Chic - Jonathan Newhouse, Fuck Milan Fashion Week
Milan Fashion Week wants to start on September 19, but New York plans to start on September 13 and London on September 21. After Milan decided to move its Fashion Week up to September 19, Paris decided to do the same, and now plans to begin shows on September 25.
Publishing company Conde Nast, which includes within it Vogue and W, is decidedly against the change and is taking a stand against Milan's move. Conde chairman Jonathan Newhouse stated that "[all editors of Vogue] will not under any circumstances abandon the London or New York shows if the Milan shows are moved earlier."
