Quote Du Jour: Eric Daman on Blake Lively as a Style Icon and Not Being an Anorexic Bitch

“She’s not an anorexic bitch, she has tits and an ass. She knows where the hemline needs to hit, what colors she should wear and about draping. She’s not getting out of cars without panties and she rather be home making apple pie, not partying in a limo. That’s why Anna [Wintour] likes her. She nailed it [the Vogue covers] and I love being a part of it without having to hold her hand. SJP was so instrumental about clothing and the draping and body parts and Blake is the same exact way, but she’s not Carrie and she’s not SJP. Blake is in her 20’s and has a hot body, she’s a teen icon of high fashion and we haven’t really seen something like it, she’s like the Jackie O of her time.”

While Blake Lively was in Paris she got a tour of Christian Louboutin’s atelier where she proclaimed her love of a shoe and in turn Louboutin named it “The Blake” after her.

“I want to sleep with it under my pillow every night,” says Blake.

Lively has been gallivanting around Paris dining with Karl Lagerfeld and going to shows with Anna Wintour.

She’s gorgeous and talented but out of curiosity, why is everyone obsessed with her? Why her?

Tim Gunn Talks About How Anna Wintour Went Ballistic Over the Anti-Elevator Story

Tim Gunn

We reported an incredibly bizarre story about Anna Wintour and how she was carried a few flights of stairs by her bodyguards at a Peter Som fashion show. The incredibly ahmazing information came from the mouth of Tim Gunn and during his appearance on Regis and Kelly he talked about how pissed off Anna was after hearing what he said.


Here is the direct quote about the colorful Anna:

“I was with a colleague from Parsons, and we had been discussing the will-she-or-won’t-she-take-the-elevator question, so we ran over to the elevator bay to see if Anna would deign to get on. She wasn’t there. Then we looked over the stairway railing. And what did we see but Anna being carried down the stairs. The bodyguards had made a fireman’s lock and were racing her from landing to landing. She was sitting on their crossed arms.. I ran to the window to see if they would put her down on the sidewalk or carry her to the car like that. They carried her to the car. And I thought: I will never forget this.”

Rumor Radar: Anna Wintour Wants Amar’e Stoudemire to Cover Vogue

What? Anna Wintour invited me? Oh shit!

Blake Lively isn’t the only new BFF Anna Wintour has made recently. The Vogue Editor-in-Chief invited Amar’e Stoudemire out to last night’s FNO fashion show in NYC with the intent of reeling him in her circle of interesting friends and putting him on the cover of the magazine.

“Amar’e wasn’t planning on going out last night, but he changed his mind after getting the invite from Anna.”

Yeah we would too.

Blake Lively Reveals How She and Anna Wintour Became BFFs in Marie Claire UK

Blake Lively landed the cover of October’s issue of Marie Claire UK and while the entire interview isn’t online I came across an answer to a question that had me losing sleep: “Why and how are Anna Wintour and Blake Lively friends”?

“I was speaking with Anna Wintour and we were just talking about different fashion houses and I said, ‘I love Chanel‘, and she said, ‘You should come with me to the show’. I also said I loved Dior. She said ‘OK, well I’ll take you to the Chanel and Dior shows and we’ll meet with Karl and John [Galliano] afterwards. Insane!’”

Whoa that was easy! Lucky biotch!

I’m so going to make sure to say “I love Yves Saint Laurent and Lanvin” when I see Wintour. Let’s just see if she invites me to these shows. Yeah, I’m effing kidding and incredibly sad right now.

Yeah Blake Lively’s been in Vogue, and yes Anna Wintour is the Editor-in-Chief of the fashion bible, but they so look like best friends don’t you think?

I mean, Anna is friends with P.Diddy so this is totally possible.

The two we’re spotted at Dior’s Haute Couture show in Paris yesterday.

Anna Wintour Doesn’t Use Elevators?!

Anna Winour is not only the editor-in-chief of Vogue and probably one of the most powerful women in fashion, but she’s also the first one to get to her seat at a fashion show and the first one to leave. Not to mention, she has big bodyguards to lead the way and sometimes even carry her.

Tim Gunn saw Anna Wintour leaving the Peter Som show at the Metropolitan Pavilion back in 2006 and claims that he saw her being carried by her bodyguards.

“I was with a colleague from Parsons, and we had been discussing the will-she-or-won’t-she-take-the-elevator question, so we ran over to the elevator bay to see if Anna would deign to get on. She wasn’t there. Then we looked over the stairway railing. And what did we see but Anna being carried down the stairs. The bodyguards had made a fireman’s lock and were racing her from landing to landing. She was sitting on their crossed arms.. I ran to the window to see if they would put her down on the sidewalk or carry her to the car like that. They carried her to the car. And I thought: I will never forget this.” said Tim Gunn.

We wonder why Wintour was avoiding the elevator? Or maybe this is normal behavior on her part since Tim Gunn and his colleagues were debating whether or not she will take the elevator.

Anna Wintour the Green Day Fan? Who Knew?

Conde Nast Media Group Presents Fashion Rocks - Arrivals

You read right, Anna Wintour digs Green Day! At least we think she does and just because she’s Anna, I am not judging her, surely she has good reason.

Anyways, the Vogue Editor-in-Chief was spotted sitting front row at the Green Day Brodway Musical, American Idiot. Why Anna? Why?

Green Day Musical? I think I may have heard news of that before but naturally blocked it out of my mind.

The last thing I want to see is a spread of these brosephs in Vogue.
