Oh Tuesday, what do you have in store for us? Hopefully all good things. So I tried to dry my hair and watch the "Today" show at the same time today,
thus the ponytail. More important than my frizzed out follicles was the
announcement of Vanity Fair's Best Dressed list, brought to us by a rather
reedy (or muscular- hard to tell on skinny people sometimes) Amy Fine
Collins as presented to Matt Lauer. Nothing new to report- usual people
there with the expected Gaga addition. Sigh. BORING. I went online and perused the list- everyone you would expect was there- the
rich and famous who have every designer and hair and makeup teams at their
disposal- most of the people on the list probably work with a stylist too. I
was curious as to why some bloggers (Sea of Shoes chick, Tavi, Garance Dore,
etc.) didn't make the list as they are influencing fashion big time or some
more eclectic types. Yes Hope Atherton was there, but everyone else pretty
expected. Except for the square peg known as the Countess of Alba, she of Spanish
royal lineage. I have never glimpsed this "creature" before, but apparently
she is as blueblood as they come, used to have affairs with flamenco
dancers, and is a heavy supporter of the fashion industry. Not sure really
how she made the cut, but she looks fun, no? If not slightly mad. (All the
fun ones are PS). She is the really the only one besides Gaga on this list that really just
goes for it, whatever "it" may be. I kind of love her. I incessantly googled
her and hoped to find her looking chic, but she looks very much like a Boca
bubby in most shots, if your bubby never went to the hairdresser again. True
she is as old as the hills, but she sticks out on a list that is
predominantly safe in terms of fashion trailblazers. I guess if we're
talking about true style, well she sure has that. Bless her aristocratic
heart. Check out the list for yourselves- was not terribly exciting, but always fun
to look at. http://www.vanityfair.com/style/features/2010/09/the-international-best-dres
