John Galliano needs a better tailor


I only saw about fifteen minutes of The Devil Wears Prada, mostly in hopes of getting another quick glimpse of Anne Hathaway's rack, like in Brokeback Mountain (I certainly did not watch the latter in sweaty anticipation of an explicit romp between the film's two leading men... a romp so homoerotic it could give me goosebumps... two men touching each other physically and emotionally in ways a woman never could... or something), during which time I learned the following: Anne Hathaway has had too much mainstream success to ever show her breasts on film again (until she does an "edgy" film in a few years to show she is still "real") and Anna Wintour is apparently an icy bitch.

Although this 60 Minutes interview did provide me with some interesting points regarding Wintour's iron grip of Vogue and moreover, the fashion industry as a whole, what I found most interesting was the fact that Morley Safer is still alive and kicking and landing pretty decent interviews. I mean, did you hear the guy? He sounds like he has already picked out his casket and made the necessary arrangements for his funeral, down to the last l'chaim. His comparison of runway models to cadavers could be taken as an ironic joke. 

Ultimately, what I really took from this segment is as follows: 
1. Anna Wintour acknowledges people on elevators
2. Little bob haircuts are still cool, even when the sides of the hair style are curved too far towards your mouth, causing you to constantly get hair in your mouth
3. John Galliano is in need of a good tailor, Karl Lagerfeld already has one
