Disney, shut your trap about Miley you big hypocrites

I don't understand why Disney is making a big fuss about the Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photographs, when all this attention on their big star will only generate more profits for them. People who had no idea who Miley was before this "scandal" certainly know her now and Disney can only benefit from this free publicity. But they are hypocrites. Gawker discovered an old Disney advertisement of a pre-pubescent girl wearing underwear for their kiddie lingerie line. I think it's even worse than those Calvin Klein childrens' underwear ads.
Maybe Disney is just jealous that Vanity Fair will be making lots of money in magazine sales and they can't directly profit from the photos? But the exposure of their billion-dollar baby will certainly benefit Disney in the long run as new people will check out the Hannah Montana franchise. So it's ok for Disney to directly profit from their own ad featuring a girl that looks even younger than Miley Cyrus, but it's not ok if the 15-year-old poses for another publication and they see the profit from that.
It seems that Disney doesn't really care about the ethics involving young girls and nudity, but about whether they can make money from it.

The most amazing closet you have ever seen

I am a member of this forum for bag addicts called The Purse Forum. We basically show off our new bags and complain about how we want more bags. It's a vicious cycle of greedy consumption. But anyways. I found this thread in the Hermes subforum (yes, there are real women who can afford to buy Birkins) of a woman who posts photos of the completion of her brand new closet that holds designer bags and clothes. I'm not talking about Coach. I'm talking about the momma of all designer bags, Hermes, as well as some Chanel and Louis Vuitton. For most of us, it will feel as if we are diabetics walking into a candy store, but the eye candy is incredible. (Photos: The Purse Forum/Peanutbabycakes)
Here is a sample of what the other part of society spends their money on:


My fantasy closet.


Look. There is an actual island in the closet with drawers made to look like trunks.



And a chandelier.



Is that a Chanel dress?

30cm fuschia ostrich gold hardware birkin. For the rest of us, that means a really expensive bag. She has at least 20 of these. That's more than what my life is worth.

Nina Garcia and the "Ferosh" Christian Siriano on Ugly Betty

I've never watched Ugly Betty before but when I saw the clip of the surprisingly funny Project Runway winner Chrisitian Siriano making an appearance, I realized that my life has been incomplete. "Worship me bitches" was delivered with such passion. Forget designing, Siriano should be on more TV! Oh and Nina Garcia is there too. 'Nuff said.

Aggy, don't ruin a good thing

First model Irina Lazareanu sang at the Chanel show and she was alright at best, but now Agyness Deyn, she of punk chic, is warming up her vocal cords too. Vogue says that she is lending her voice to Who, a song by New York-based band Five O'Clock Heroes. Ugh, I just hope it's better than the crap that Scarlett Johansson just released. Whatever happened to the model mantra "Be seen and not heard"?

The girl who has the job a million girls would kill for

Meet Claiborne Swanson, Anna Wintour's new personal assistant. Apparently she was promoted from public-relations associate. Hmmm. Is being Wintour's slave really a promotion? I wonder if she really has to phone Smith & Wollensky every 15 minutes to order the boss's steak like in The Devil Wears Prada. At least she gets the chance to pillage the Vogue closet. I wish I were you Ms. Swanson, I really do! When you're tired of chauffeuring clothes around to Hermes, let me know. I'll be there in a New York minute.
