A few linky things, and some historical musing

[jlh]

E! has a useful listing of January premieres, in case you were wondering when Studio 60 was coming back. Meanwhile, now that the creator of the wrap dress, which infamously looks good no matter what your body type, is the president of the CFDA, looks like New York Fashion Week is getting model guidelines after all. Oh, and following in the footsteps of Time and Spin, AdAge craps out on choosing an Agency of the Year. Talk to the hand, Jonah.

There aren't a ton of historical events I would actually want to go back in time for, partly because I can't imagine going back as anything other than the biracial woman I am, and gender and race cause problems for, say, hanging about the palace in 14th c. Spain. But now I want to fancy it up and go to Truman Capote's infamous Black and White Ball. I always have just because everyone, and I mean everyone, was there. Capote threw it in honor of Katharine Graham, publisher of the Washington Post, whose autobiography I completely adored. Besides, who wouldn't want to go to a party where Lillian Hellman and Norman Podhoretz step in to prevent a fist fight between Norman Mailer and McGeorge Bundy?

I'm totally looking at that model guideline and wondering if I would pass.:-)

I just keep telling myself, "I'm too short," since Kate Moss had to "overcome her height" and she's 5'6". It's soothing to my ego.

Dinner next week? Also, did you see BD's comment in my Ford entry because if he's willing to give up stories when drunk then we need to find a way to get him drunk.

That would be cool!

How I wish BD was coming so that we could ply him with wine and get him to tell us that theory...
