sperm whales are the new black
An anonymous, giggle-stifling fott sends us a report on today's Fashion Group International Rising Star Awards Luncheon here in Manhattan:
...It was just like my second-fave episode of AbFab, except it wasn't meant to be funny. As the 7th Ave. rag hags squinted into the Waldorf's teleprompters, I couldn't help thinking, "Jesus H. Christ - does no one read these scripts beforehand?!" One of the presenters, Alan Flusser (author of the timeless classic "Dressing The Man") was forced to keep a straight face while reading the following: "...His fall/winter 2003-2004 collection was inspired by Alaska, with its majestic glaciers and playful sperm whales."
The jokes are bumping into one another and having trouble getting out. "Majestic glaciers and playful sperm whales"... sounds like a roomful of UES trophies and their drunkenly-pawing husbands. Speaking of, well, er, other presenters included Patricia Field, CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien, and "plus size" model Emme. 'Nuff said.
