Dior and I

I do love a fashion documentary and saw Raf Simmons' trail by fire as the new Dior designer tasked with putting a collection together in 8 weeks movie last night at Keystone Arts which was bittersweet because I was hoping my friend Derek of D Lamont would see it with me but he did not, totally my fault too but anyhoo. 

So so good. A lot of times movies like this focus on designers eccentricities (Karl and Yves I am taking to you) it is almost unrelateable , like a great fun fantasy  which is okay but the focus on the building a collection from scratch was  just as breathlessly entertaining. Lots of stars in the final show audience, sad glimpse of L'Wren Scott in the audience, and Donnatella is a fright

Borracha: not so fresh

So I bought this purse product because Instyke magazine told me to and it seemed like a good idea at the time.  Borracha pearly wipes are little saturated cloths that you swipe in your mouth to erase tea or red wine stains and freshen up in general. Sadly, I will never know the joys of potable whitening as these are totally disgusting. The initial taste is hydrogen peroxide drifting into bleach territory and finishing with a medicinal mint that is too little too late. While the unpleasantness did not linger and the pleasant did, I still cannot recommend these. Blerg
