What do you think about Lady Gaga?

Such a gimmick. I liker her but sometimes she kills me. Like is she seriously the same person on stage and offstage. I’m soon to be over it.

Ya its a bit much.

I told my friend and we didn’t agree. Her outfit for the Grammy’s killed me. Seriously? At least wear Dior Couture if you want crazy not a pink space bubble tube..

Thank You!!!

I really think Armani should have said “Oh honey no, we love you but this is not part of our DNA. Call Thierry Mugler or Bob Mackie”.

Exactly!

This whole extreme Photoshop business has me thinking, can we really put an end to it? This is where it gets complicated, Photoshop is needed in the industry but it is widely misused. How do you fix it? Well you can’t. Because in order to fix it you’d have to get everybody who uses it on board. I think publishers can start by doing their part to not abuse it, but what about the ads? Even if a magazine chose to be fair when editing its images you still have the ads which are sometimes produced elsewhere. Which would leave the consumer with a conflicting message, ” We respectively use Photoshop, but can’t say the same for our advertisers”. Also when flipping through the pages of the magazine you’d start to notice the difference between real and overly edited subjects. So what can the industry do? Everyone needs to do their part and use Photoshop with restraint and years down the road we may see a difference. If not Abode will create a Photoshop face mask so that we may always look our very best, whether we’re doing laundry or running over people in the Hamptons with our Mercedes M-Class (I miss Lizzie Grubman).

So I’ve never booked a flight that takes off at 6am and somehow I did. That’s all in the past so were not gonna talk about that. What we will talk about is how I looked way too chic for LAS (lame ass Vegas Airport) and how Delta (lame ass excuse for an airline) fucked me up. I get to the airport at 4:30 for my flight that leaves at 6:30 am, Perfect timing right? NOOOOOOOTTT. I check in, go through security, get to my gate , and buy more Dramamine (I get nauseous when I fly from West to East). Now you’re supposed to take them an hour before you fly and so I did. Here comes the NOOOOOOOTTTT. Ten minutes before we had to board the plane this # yes I said # because I will refrain from calling her a BITCH(plus I don’t know her like that besides she may be a nice bitch), came on to deliver a message “ Attention Passengers we are having some technical difficulties with the plane, the problem is mechanical we’ve already ordered the part it is on the next plane from Salt Lake City and will be replaced as soon it comes in. Your flight will now depart at 9:30am and we will begin re-issuing boarding passes with passengers that have connecting flights first”.

Summ ma ma Bitch, I swear my color almost came out because I wanted to cut-er not cut her but cut-er all one word minus the H. So now I’m doped up on Dramamine, stuck at this fuck box with slot machines they call an airport, just wishing I still had a balance on my NetJets card so I can get the F##K out of dodge. So almost 3 hours later they issued me new tickets to get on the 9:30 flight to Atlanta and the 5:30 flight from Atlanta to Miami. The fuckery continues peeps, I get to HOTLANTA and I look at the ticket it says Gate A18 ok lets go. NOOOOTTTTTT. I get to gate A18 and everyone seems to be going to New York……ummmm I’m trying to get to Miami. I go up to the counter and say “ Hi, do you know where my gate is because it says A18 and this is the wrong fucking gate” (ok I don’t usually cuss this much but I’m about done with Delta at this point). His reply “ Oh yeah your new gate is now A21“. Lets reverse and talk about how the first plane has private TV’s and OK seats etc.. Now I’m on a Greyhound with wings and a baby that just wont shut up. Took another Dramanine and the guy next to me seems bent on having a conversation. He was actually nice, well both of them I sat between two older guys. I didn’t mean to be rude to them but the Dramamine kicked in I slept and woke up 40 minutes before we landed.

Lots of Birthday Wishes for Karl Lagerfeld, Creative Director of Chanel and Fendi. Without you where would Chanel be today? Would Fendi still be known as a Furrier?

Two years ago you’d have to be in Paris during the Haute Couture shows to receive up to the minute updates on the showings but that’s all ancient thanks to the Twitter and other social media platforms. Everyone is twittering fashion updates and twipics from Elle Creative Director Joe Zee to male social and freelance writer Derek Blasberg. So what went on in Paris? Everyone seemed to be talking about what may be Christian Lacroix’s last show as he faces bankruptcy, the stage and that random hottie at Chanel, and the best backstage sign to date at Givenchy.

Happy 4th of July everyone. And remember don’t eat too much because the two most feared words in the English dictionary are “Pool Party“. LOL

First id like to say Thank You for the “Where are you?” emails, lord knows I missed you guys too. So where have I been? Under boxes and tape of course. Besides being stressed the last two weeks I’ve also been moving and although I’m done I still have to unpack….Not looking forward to it. But I’m back with lots of fun news, giveaways, and drum roll please……….TBW. What’s TBW? Tory Burch Week. Starting on Monday and ending on Sunday JetSetSocialite.com will be dedicated to all things Tory Burch, after all she is one of the original socialites on the scene. Stay Tuned!
