"Grill'd Chee' z ! " Anybody?....

Katy Perry rocked the Red Carpet at the MTV VMA's last Sunday with the latest craze in fashion accessory:$1000 gold grill....

....Which seems to have started a dragon fly feeding frenzy on and above her chest....

"Say Grill'd Chee'z"

Well ,we heard you "Roar" loud and clear, Katy ...loud enough to scare your toes right outta your sandals....

New The Dad Hatter.....

Been a while since I reported back to you ....but here is some fresh news....
Hot off  The Dad Hatter press!

I give you "The Watch":

Up in Her grill: Madonna

There are villains in James Bond that got away with it..after all they were the big bad guys....
The singer/actor Goldie had the gold teeth and no one blinked an eye....but here I find myself not only blinking an eye but both and muttering under my breath:

"WHAT THE.....?!" 

Her Madonna-ness was in Rome for her birthday and wanted to surprise her fans....then again why should anyone be surprised. Even at 55 she's got it and she can keep it...cos that golden grill is doing nothing for her  .

 Looks like a gum infection gone horribly wrong...someone call Doct.House!

Tilda's POMELLATO ....

There is something quite hypnotic about Tilda Swinton...she is a blank canvas that is brought to light and life at a click of a switch.
 Her androgynous beauty is anything but generic, she is a true original and the darling of screen and magazines.

Pomellato: hot in golden summer hues and cool in winter black and blues....
Which is your poison ? Silver or gold....

DOLCE FAR NIENTE....

Isn't She Lovely....Charlotte Casiraghi

Featured in the July issue of VOGUE...The ever lovely:

                                                    CHARLOTTE CASIRAGHI

Our paths have actually crossed twice.... 
Once when I was in Paris working for Pashion magazine ....
...and once in London where I proceeded to stalk her.... But more on that later...

PARIS: It was during Paris fashion week and at a do for Christian Louboutin somewhere in an art gallery in the Marais.
We were entering as she was about to exit...she wore a pout and an icy demeanour. Her gracious smile was for Mr. Louboutin and Mr. Louboutin only....and then she exited stage left into the Parisian night.

LONDON: Picture this....a cold winter day in Ol' Blighty and I was seeking some retail therapy in French Connection...(I must have been really desperate...) when lo and behold who do I spy wearing blah clothes and scurrying around the displays....Ms. Casiraghi.
(This was during the period of time when she interned at The Independent and was then dating Alex Dellal....she has since moved on to Gad the Cad...)

I had to tear myself away to meet my friend S. who only happens to live in Monaco....

"Guess who I just saw in French Connection?"
"Who Dahhling...?" asked S. in her breathy drawl.
" Charlotte Casiraghi!!"
"Take me there immediately!"

And there she still was, looking around.... unbeknowst to her that 2 over aged groupies where stalking her from the staircase above like the two cronies from the Muppet Show in their balcony seats.

Where we embarrassed?
Not in the slightest!!
