Alexander McQueen

As you all know by now, Alexander McQueen committed suicide recently.  Celebrity deaths don't really impact me; I think the last one that really did was Chris Farley.  I'll admit it -- I cried.  But I was also in high school and incredibly more sensitive than I am now.


The passing of Alexander McQueen is a loss of a creative powerhouse.  There really isn't another mind out there like his and I therefore genuinely feel that the world lost something very wonderful and far too soon.

RIP Alexander McQueen.

Vogue, March

I'm a bad blogger, I know.  And for this post I can't even add an image, since I recently purchased a MacBook and can't seem to figure out how to right-click "save as" with my mouse pad.

Anyway...  I just wanted to say that I am excited to see that this month's issue of Vogue (Tina Fey on the cover) looks like a mini Encyclopedia again -- 528 pages!  Perhaps this means that advertising budgets are getting a little healthier!!

And, boy, do I love looking at all of the advertisements.  So far, my favorite is the Donna Karan "For a Woman by a Woman" double page spread.

Wish I could find an image and successfully include/link to. ;P  Maybe next time.
