MACGuinness

How glorious does Daphne Guinness look in the MAC ads? Loving every minute. Slightly strange collaboration as I would imagine MAC to be a bit mainstream for Little Miss Couture. But whatever the justification, I like it.

Guiness Is Good For You

Is she wearing those bonkers contact lenses again in your picture?  Is she taking style tips from that dude from the Prodigy now or what?

I want the armour loving ice queen back, please!

Fools Rush in Where Angels Fear to Tread

Geez! Now Daphers is in on the act. This collection is clearly the go to for all those fearless fashionistas out there.

Can you imagine going to a party and finding someone dressed like that? I think I would choke on a god-damned canapé. She looks A-LARM-ING.

Ricci Pickings

You know those Nina Ricci shoes that were just so ridiculous that no one was ever going to attempt to wear them?


Right?

Well, I think here is the proof that it should have stayed that way.



God bless Daphne Guinness for trying, but seriously, if she can't pull them off surely they are entirely beyond redemption.

Picture Imperfect

I am also a fan of Miss Guinness, though probably not as much as you. You seem to have a slightly alarming crush. However I saw something recently that I didn't like that much. BBC4 had a programme about fashion photographs that have changed the world. (Possibly a slight exaggeration, but let's go with it, shall we?)

Well, one of the photograhs was by Guy Bourdin. I love his photograhs enormously. Have you seen the Madonna video for Hollywood? Where she galivants around gyrating on pieces of furniture and has far too much fun with a bright yellow telephone? Well, basically it was the most obvious rip off of his photograps and she was sued for copyright infringement.

The fact that it was a carbon copy is probably why I was so obsessed with the video, and still am.

So when Rankin tried to recreate one of Guy's photographs I was probably already concerned. It is like when they adapt a book you love and they get the casting wrong and it just destroys everything. So here is the original pic:

And here is the recreation:

In photographs I love her. She really goes there. She must have a wardrobe twice the size of my house and I have a lot of respect for that. But I just didn't really feel her. She was a bit too brittle and uninteresting. I know that I might risk you never speaking to me again for this, but I just felt a bit disappointed that I didn't love her more. And I think the photograph is a poor imitation.

So, let me get behind the armour. I like the sound of that. And I can forget that this ever happened.

You and Whose Armoury?

Talking about breast plates made me think of The Magnificent Daphne. She just can't get enough of armour you know. I love that! She wants to make some robotic-ish leggings. Image how those bad boys would blow the JegTregs out of the water! Nice one Daphne!

Let's look at how fabulous you are with your inverse skunky punk hair and the jewellery which probably weighs as much as you and your fondness for le noir, shall we?

Fabulousity!!
