Lollipop lady

(Victoria Beckham leaves the Jean-Paul Gaultier space after the Jean-Paul Gaultier show, as part of Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2007)

Every time I see Posh, I'm always surprised she isn't wearing a neck brace. I don’t mean that I’m expecting Vicki to pioneer the neck-brace-as-fashion-accessory craze (although stranger things have happened. Remember the helmet craze of 97?) It just that I’m astounded her twiggy little neck is able to support such a lollipop of a head.

Sandwiched between that head and the over sized bow on her top, her neck looks the size of my wrist. I really think someone should be watching her at all times to ensure she never falls asleep in a chair- a quick jerk of the head and Posh might be wheeling herself to the next fashion week…

Karl Lagerfeld loves gloves, and so do you!

(Chanel Spring 2007 couture Paris runway)

What is it about Unkle Karl and fingerless gloves? It's not enough that he wears them wherever he goes, apparently now all his models have to do the same.

OK Karl, we get it- you're old, you have poor circulation, you have a couple of unsightly moles. Your hands just don't do it for the hot young guys like they used to. It's cool. Cover them up. Hide them from the vicious fashionistas, eager to cut you down at the slightest sign of weakness. But why make the girls on your runway mimic your insecurities? They have beautiful hands Karl- let the world see them.

And maybe by doing this you might begin to heal, one hand at a time…
