It Really Feels Like the 90s All Over Again

The Look that Moves Thousand Dollar Merchandise

Kate Moss owns the The New York Times Style Magazine.

I don't know if the world is running out of supermodel or Kate Moss is just that hot, again. When I read the Style magazine, it brought back fond memories of the 90s, when I was young and stupid instead of today's old and stupid. And when Kate Moss was the model.

In the 300-page magazine, Kate Moss appears as model for Dior, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, David Yurman, Versace, Belstaff, and LongChamp, in a grand total of 10 pages, hawking thousand dollars bags and thousand dollars coats. Mainly sex and fashion bullshit actually.

When Tom Cruise jumped on Oprah's couch, he lost his contract with Paramount. When Kate blew rails on a couch, the sponsors love her even more (well maybe not those uptight Swedes H&M, but who gives a fuck about H&M anyway). Allegedly, Kate stands to make 19 million pounds for 2006, more than what she used to make before the cocaine scandal. Looks like the movie industry and the fashion industry have a very different set of standards on what sells and what not sells.

We should all learn from Kate, here is more.

    According to Wikipedia, Moss ain't no supermodel when a talent-scout discovered her at the JFK International Airport, NYC. She's an "anti-supermodel of the 1990s" vis-à-vis the supermodels at the time, such as Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell. Now Moss is all the rage.

    With his lengthy sideburns, William can be Hong Kong's next male supermodel. In this world, fads come and go, you never know.

  4. Vincent should be the next supermodel in Hong Kong, I guess he dressed in his Armani Exchange will be in good look, by the way, in Sep, both Wilson and I will take the Green belt qualifying exam, if pass and most likely, we will be in the intermediate class and will start the training of combat fighting, with all those protective shields

  5. Wp2006,

    And you are comparing Lin chi ling to world class bitch like Miss Moss. Lin Chi Ling maybe very good but just not on the same league, sorry.

    Armani Exchange and Vince, I don't see that as a match. Armani, maybe but not with suffix Exchange for fuck sake.

  7. Comparing Lin Zhiling to Moss is almost like comparing Joey Yung to Britney Spear. Lin and Yung are almost unknown outside SE Asia. They can walk and shop at leisure in Paris, London and NYC without bodyguards or people asking them for signatures.

  9. That even rocks harder.

    I believe a good physique trumps any designer labels.

  10. ... I also believe those who are oblivious to the tyranny of fashion or cool are indeed the coolest. That's those who don't give a fuck.

  11. Vincent, you should not spend your money in those "cheap G2000", your money went to the capitalist Tin's pocket, buy Armani or Burberry

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
