1. Terry O'Neill only takes pictures of people he fancies
So this
week, The Telegraph published a
Q&A with one of the greatest photographer’s of our time, Terry O’Neill, and
trust me he has a few choice words on some of our most beloved leading ladies. With
Terry Richardson staying away long enough to let the original Terry say his
piece, in the interview O'Neill talks about being underwhelmed by those we so
aspire to be , from Kate Moss to Kate Middleton. Their faces are sure to shift
serious numbers on the publication front whilst the latest pair of shoes they’re
spotted in sell out in minutes but according to O’Neill, they’re nothing
special.
After first assuring us that he has slept with some of the most beautiful women in existence (naturally) before this generation, claiming ''I’ve seen, slept with and photographed more beautiful women than you’ve had hot dinners’’, he moves on Britain’s sweetheart, Kate. Who he couldn;t give a shit about. In fact he goes a step further in saying he wouldn't photograph her because he actually doesn't "fancy her” due to her being too thin. Once finished hanging her out to dry, there’s another Kate he feels he needs to berate before he continue. Next in the firing line, Moss:

"The
supermodels were the last great girls, and Kate Moss only just scraped in under
the wire...I never rated her – Kate only endured because she was associated
with those supermodels."
For
someone who ‘scraped in under the wire’, she has certainly proved her worth
over the years bouncing back from public scandal and never leaving the top 10
model earners.
The Kates aside, he happens to have only positive things to say about a woman who many women can only muster negativity: Angelina Jolie.
If you happen to have a spare minute, the interview is well worth a read with O’Neill speaking in depth about his own personal changes as well as his sexual exploits with beautiful women.

Keeping
with the slightly tenuous royal theme, Vivienne Westwood has launched a new
collection in celebration of the Royal Jubilee. If anyone was to do this, it
had to be the alternative Queen of British style.
With Sportwear Lux placing itself firmly in the limelight
for SS12, I’ve been lusting after a pair of Isabel Marant wedge trainers for some time now. However, I
don’t earn even a fraction of what I need to in order to afford a pair. This is where the 'Flattery or Fraud' front runners, River Island, stepped in to take the strain off my heart and saved me hundred of pounds. For £40, I'm in love with the concealed wedge heel that gives an extra few inches whilst remained as comfortable as flats. They're not the Marant's I so crave but for now, they'll do nicely.
Until the next...
