A Gaultier kind of Velvet, a mag cover done good, and other nibbles around the skinny-sphere
- Pal Claire over at 5 Resolutions interviews model/photographer Velvet D'Amour. You remember her? Velvet and Jean Paul Gaultier went for beauty diversification during Fashion Week 2006.

This is a very beautiful, natural-looking, and vibrant magazine cover shot of Gwyneth Paltrow for the upcoming Bazaar issue unlike this Vogue Science Fiction Alien shot of Gwynnie. Niceeee! [Bazaar]
- Reader Hungry Waif points out a Jezebel review of Sex & The City where writer Dodai basically calls the ladies assholes in impractical shoes.

About our changing role in society, about our continued second-class citizen status. About the way we deal with each other. About the tough choices we have to make every single day." Totally! This adds to my gladness that I evolved the theme of BISJ. [Jezebel]
