IN THREE WORDS

In this weekly feature, I'll share a guest with you all each week, and you tell me in only three words what come to mind. This week, my favorite designer.

In Three Words...

John Galliano

Prince Galliano to Return, Hopefully

Finally things are getting interesting in the world of fashion and just in time for Fashion Week. It appears that John Galliano has finally found a halfway house that's suited to his special talents. According to Vogue and a very in the know, up to the moment insider says he's to be admitted to the Oscar de la Renta House for further observation and an aggressive working of occupational therapy in a three week stint. Oscar de la Renta has been listing in the shallows for the past few years, so Galliano could be their star patient who may be just the boost they, and he, needs. The designer is widely thought of as one of the most talented and creative names in fashion. His shows for both his eponymous label and for Dior were known for their drama and theatrical beauty. Although de la Renta dismissed the idea that the move was part of plans to hire Galliano as his successor if he ever decides to retire, he welcomes any creative input the designer has to do with his work. One can not help but figure the influence and gentle nudging of Queen Wintour, the post modern doppelganger of Marie Antoinette. Her tough love methods of covert intimidation and deal brokering may just be what everyone needs at this juncture. I for one am extremely curious as to how this will all play out. It's been just a famine of fashion since Galliano's fall from grace. Who do we have to look to for any grace, style and theatrical, the Kings of snooze, Kors and Ralph Lauren? Now here is fashion.....just some of the little frocks Galliano has flung together.............

We shall see where all this goes for Galliano. And speaking of Anna Wintour........

And in a unrelated note last night I had a dream that while in New York, I had dinner at a restaurant with Anna Wintour, where we were double booked for a table. So we sat together and slung some libations back, where we talked of many things, and I told her 35 times I adored her hair. Needles to say I woke up in a very sublime mood!

That's it, are you waiting for a curtain to fall? Tootles

Now....for Your Fashion Consideration......

oh, the suits, the peplums, the hats and gloves, the heels, the 1940's style... we love to see it all at the Casa du Borghese...........

 

oh... and how we miss John Galliano. It has been alas, a famine of fashion.

Loves Me A Gallanio

I LOVE Jonh Gallanio and his creations! I hope to receive one of his couture pieces for my birthday! These pictures are from his Fall 2009 collection he designed for Christian Doir, and I just love the feel of the yester-year vintage couture feel. I wound't mind the first and second outfits. How wonderful is that hat? Fabulous. Just fabulous!

A Garden Lunch with Riparian Entertainment

Anyone who knows the Mistress knows she like to have parties and dinner parties. I find entertaining stories very appetizing. It got me to thinking if I could have a dinner party with eight people besides people I already know, who would I chew the fat with? And what would I serve? Then I changed it to a fabulous garden lunch instead, followed by some old fashioned Riparian activities. I would opt for some cute cucumber sandwiches, fresh fruit, and a wonderful salad and ,of course some afternoon cock-a-tails! My man servant would be in place to help serve of course! The eight personalities that I love and would mesmerise me would be, Lady Bunny, Miss Lady Keir, Anderson Cooper, Dame Shirley Bassey, Nicole Kidman, Lisa Lampanelli, John Galliano and John Barlett. Let me introduce you to my guests.

Lady Bunny


Sashay girl! I have always loved this queen. She has a smashing style, mile high hair, a contagious laugh and is highly entertaining,plus she has a super-raunchy blog. So you know her small talk will heat up the table. Bunny can make the drinks; I'll be having what she having!

Miss Lady Keir


The stylist epitome of everything I love. Lady Keir is a heady combo of 60's baby doll and 90's club kid- and she is sitting next to me! The mere thought of her in a cat suit or minidress, bell sleeves, Alice bands, and Flvevog heels makes my heart race. And she is sooooooo bringing the brownies. De-Gorgeous!

Anderson Cooper


Anderson Cooper is one hot daddy! That silver hair and blue eyes. And he would be on the other side of me!!! Anderson would bring to the table the Vanderbilt tradition of manners, well dress, and intellect. The news anchor and journalist could also bring pictures and stories of his world experiences from all over the world, and keep the guest on top of current affairs. I would later try to bed him.


Nicole Kidman and Dame Shirley Bassey




Let's not mince words here. These two would be the classy broads. Classy enough to teach the other guest which cutlery to use. I love both these divas for their stunning looks and chic fashion sense. Plus with the worlds of film and music covered they could tell stories from Tinseltown, and maybe Dame Shirley could sing a ditty and Nicloe could do some dramatic act for us! But no Tom stories, Nicole!


Lisa Lampanelli


The Grammy winning, equal opportunity offender looks harmless, but don't fool with this ho. This June Cleaver looking lady will cut a ho! As a comedian, Lisa would bring laughter and insult comic to the elegant lunch with her racy and raunchy style of comedy. She would then proceed to roast us all,till we all fall over from laughing to hard. And I wouldn't need to worry about her hitting on the other male guest because she like the black men.


John Galliano and John Barlett



These two handsome designers would have to be present. Galliano because the Mistress loves his gowns and Barlett because the male mistress loves his fashion. They could also let us in on the up-coming fashion trends and give us the dirt from the fashion world. Maybe they could even give a fashion critique on the guest and tell us where all the hot male models are hanging out. I would later try to bed John Barlett.

Well there you have it. I'm sure that would be a hell of a interesting lunch. There are other people who interest me also and I would love to meet, probably more serious types, but life's a banquet damn it, and I want to have a fabulous time. Who would you have for a luncheon or dinner party?
