Galliano is a Skinhead




The Below article by Anna Higgins for Hot Topic says it all; click title link for full article..


" It's been beyond a bad week for Dior designer John Galliano, who was suspended from his post as head of the fashion house on February 25.
The British raised designer, 50, had been arrested in Paris on charges of assault and making anti-Semitic remarks to fellow patrons at a Parisian café. 'Incitement to racial hatred' is a crime in France, and punishable by up to six months in prison.
Galliano allegedly pulled a woman's hair before telling her she had a 'dirty Jew face.' Soon after, a video of a separate incident surfaced of Galliano telling drinkers "People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f**king gassed."
If that wasn't incriminating enough, the designer then declared 'I love Hitler'.

Nicole Kidman and Sharon Stone both wore Dior to the Academy Awards on Monday, but both refused to engage in conversation about the designer's troubles.

Best Actress winner Natalie Portman is also the face of perfume Miss Dior Cherie. The actress had no comment on Galliano in the press room after the Oscars, but had this to say later in the week.

'I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano's comments that surfaced today,' the actress said in a statement.
'In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr Galliano in any way.
'I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful.'
The actress was born Natalie Hershlag in Jerusalem. Portman, her grandmother's maiden name, is her stage name.

Soon after, Galliano was fired from his $8m a year position as the head of Dior. The fashion house's show at Paris Fashion Week went ahead - but with not one celebrity, bar Vogue editor Anna Wintour, in the front row.
The French firm made a statement that it 'firmly condemned' Galliano's behaviour.

The designer has since fled to Meadows, a rehab favoured by celebrities, in Arizona. Can you be cured of being an obnoxious anti-Semite?
A source told UK paper The Daily Mail that Galliano is 'obsessed' with his own Jewish roots.
Galliano was set to design supermodel Kate Moss' wedding dress for her July nuptials, while he was also responsible for Gwen Stefani's wedding gown - my favourite celebrity wedding dress ever. "

How disgusting, i hope he never works another day in his life. This will be an interesting game watching who supports
his post remark era...and was Anna Wintour's appearance a sign of some sort...

A World of Wank




Men can do it all day every day and couldn't be happier, be we cant even talk about it without blushing. Why, when women so intricately connect their emotions with sexual intercourse, do they not (literally) connect with themselves? Men know that seducing the sausage works for them on a functional level, so women should know it will help them know themselves better, relocate their partner more accurately and make the whole business if sex a more enjoyable activity.

Bitch Please





In keeping with this week's 'BITCHES' theme,

Bitch Is just another word misogynistic men have adopted to assign to women that don’t take a particular liking to the optimistic wolf-whistle or suggestive pinch of the bottom they implied in the false hope that they may be rewarded with a smile, perhaps a wink or even, if its their lucky day a flirtatious kiss on the cheek or exchange of digits, numerical that is.

This endearing term is unrivalled in the female repertoire of linguistic ammunition, compared loosely with...

Arsehole; (quite a functional and important body part)
Prick; (the most minor of ailments that inflicts pain for only a second)
Bastard; (a child born with the gift of never having any parents to screw them up)

I have thus decided to create my own term and assign I back to all you vocal menfolk who validate my notions of this ‘mans’ world. The term is “PILE” see below for full (urban) dictionary term;

Pile
pa - hyl
noun, verb, piled, pil·in

A mound of faeces or excrament

A disorganized or loosely ordered group

A faction or sect of society who choose to follow cavemen or stoneage principles of courtship


This term is not only perfect for its conceptual value, it can also be used in abundance for its bewildering effect. As this is a ‘fresh’ term, you can guarantee that none of the heckling offenders will be able to determine its actual meaning until they decide to look it up on urbandictionary.com, or read it on this blog, neither of which they will ever do.

Tuesday



I flew to Brisbane to say hello to my cousin and wish him a well drunk 21st this weekend and somewhere between Ignoring the tedious safety presentation and eavesdropping on the two teachers next to me conversing about about students parents they didn't particularly shine to, (thanks ladies, ill add that to the mounting concerns I have about being a asshole of a parent) I began pondering the concept of a birds eye view, the relationship of space and human perception. To me it fits perfectly with the a series of ideas i have about our connection with technology and its rapid effect on our lives in the 21st century.

Cellphones, Computers, Ipods, Iphones, Idrones, they all engage us is such a illimitable way that we loose years instantly. In an endless pursuit for the next page we are constantly missing the bigger picture. Global Positioning System's or "navmen" and the newest recruits to the technological army of culprit time thieves. They rob their users of the gratification simply reading a map can bring. An exercise in problem solving and the fairest test of any relationship, simply reading a map can move your mind to see the real structure of a city, enlighten your geographic sense of self and on a more basic level aid in the sport of sounding smart when you next talk to people at work about your 'cultured' trip to Dalesford to go horse-riding with your fiance who works is sales and owns a BMW. Taking the lazy route will never teach you to explore, never give you back those tight buns and it certainly wont sound impressive in the tea room. Next time you decide to fire up your navman,log into your facestalk or sit down to watch a Jersey Shore marathon in your underwear think about how painful it is to be that person at work that everyone pretends to listen to but is effectively ranked as low as parking officer or in-law.
