Russian Bride Attractive?

This is from the last issue of Wig. magazine (yes, I'm lazy). Like any other normal American, I've always had a thing for Russian brides. So polite and well-mannered... until you actually marry them. Anyway, I think this spread is totally cute, especially because all the quotes (including spelling errors) were taken from genuine Ukrainian and Russian bride websites. превосходно!!!


Mine dear, Im glad to meet you. At concurrence of vital positions and satisfaction each other in the morally emotional plan we will be happy...Mine dear, Im glad to meet you. At concurrence of vital positions and satisfaction each other in the morally emotional plan we will be happy...



I cannot forgive offence (I know it is bad, but nevertheless...)



He is kind, clever, financially independent, likes music, he respects interests of his beloved. I hope for a meeting with a man from Italy.


While I'm on the subject, I'll go ahead and take the opportunity to give a shout-out to my favorite Russian bride in the media, Natasha from America's Next Top Model Cycle 8! I was so distraught when she crapped out in the end, leaving "skeletor" to take the prize. You're better off without them, Nata!



p.s. I'm being a nerd for Halloween. Get it? HA!

In Search of Russh

Everyone and their mother has been asking me where they can buy Russh magazine in New York. I have been franticly searching myself ever since Universal News discontinued it last summer. Thankfully, I have finally found an alternate vendor, here is the info:

Casa Magazines
22 8th Avenue (on the corner of 12th)

Due to high demand, copies of Russh are often sold out, but you can always ask the guys that work there when their next shippment is coming in. They are totally chill. Casa Magazines also sells copies of T Magazine for $3, which is really convenient because sometimes I just can't deal with lugging around a 10,000 pound newspaper.

Fashion on Film: Lagerfeld Confidential

Last night I headed to the Film Forum to check out the new Karl Lagerfeld documentary, Lagerfeld Confidential. And may I just say, Karl Lagerfeld is crazy hilarious! Or maybe just plain crazy. Here are some things that I learned:

- He has a mantle devoted to ipods
- He can’t sleep without holding this weird ratty pillow to his stomach
- He was sexually assaulted by a couple as a teenager (but thinks it’s kind of funny in retrospect)
- He has a table devoted to silver knuckle rings (see below)
- Despite saying that he is no longer interested in sex, he is constantly taking homoerotic photographs of this male model who accompanies him everywhere. (also, see below)
- He describes his childhood self as “the male Shirley Temple”
- There is a sign in the Chanel bathroom that says, “Pissing everywhere isn’t very Chanel”





And here's the trailer:


Lagerfeld Confidential is playing at the Film Forum through November 6th.
