ALT zhushing Bee Schaffer's heavenly Nina Ricci
why don't You?
add the word dreckitude to your vocabulary.trust me-you will find yourself saying it whether you are desirous or not-dreckitude abounds.
No, this is not Jay-Z
The irreverent irrepressible ANDRE LEON TALLEY is holding court on America's Next Top Model-Consort to Tyra Banks? -For the moment it would seem.
I can not help but think ALT's mentor- Diana Vreeland- would be-
Loving it. Would she have?
I can not think of anyone that could read the tea leaves of fashion like the great DV- great swami of fashion. Her Why don't you? crops up on someone's blog at least every few days and I love it. I suggested MORE DV in the year 2010. Read my post Here. Andre Leon Talley may be the next best thing. DV would certainly have been ready for her close up-ALT is.
Larger than life- indeed Charming, part sage- part snark, ALT is off to new heights with his 5 minutes of air time each week on Next Top Model. I- for one- am watching just to get a dose of Vreeland's why don't you- (who knows what you might do?)
I did get to meet him about 10 years ago in Raleigh at a luncheon. He is a North Carolina native-Durham that is-and maintains ties here-mostly lending his celebrity to local charities. Most admirable.
NOW
why don't you?

Most amusing. I must drop in on this season to see ALT in action. I suspect that it is quite something when Miss J is also in the house.
ReplyDeleteHis autobiography is very entertaining. Esp where he recounts getting his start through Mrs Vreeland.
ReplyDeleteI just adore ALT! And all his grandeur! Dreckitude? Please help me with this...dreck is a word we northerners utilize to imply something is gross, not up to par. Am I on the right page here? Why don't you enlighten me?...and I love DV! So much to love all in one post!
ReplyDeleteReggie- catching about the last 10 minutes- might be all you need- or can tolerate. He is a riot.
ReplyDeleteHOBAC-love that autobio.
the Zhush- yes! dreckitude- as he quickly defines in the video is "a Wreck" it is pretty entertaining. pgt
