Karl Lagerfeld Would Turn Russian Women into Lesbians

Legendary Karl Lagerfeld has recently gave intervoew for February issue of Voque Russia. As usually very quick answerer and excellent debater Karl went into discussing his new Pirelli calendar, photography, technology and Russia. He has lots of good memories of Russia since his last visit some two years ago. Being native German, Karl is never intimidated by cold Russian winter and does not have a problem with a lot of snow.



He however does have a problem with Russian men. As much good as it could be said about Russian women, many of whom were Chanel models, the opposite impression is about men. According to Karl, Russian men are rude and ugly. Karl said that he does not understand Russian women for choosing to be with Russian men and if he would live in Russia as a women, he would turn into becoming lesbian.

While being funny and cute, Karl is right. Russian men are know to have no respect and honor to their wives. Of course, things get even more messy when men start to drink, and in Russia, staggering 30% of men have a serious alcohol problem, often turning violent on their wives and kids. Women, in their turn look after themselves into old age. From psychological standpoint, this is because deep inside they make themselves beautiful to find better men.

It is quite respectful to bring up the problem on Karl's end and say something in defense of Russian legends such as Natalia Vodianova and Daria Werbowy, who are among top 10 highest paid models in the world. As world getting global and certain countries are struggling with lack of female population, perhaps Russian men will give it a second thought and start treating their women as ladies. Bravo Karl!

Vanity Fair Magazine is Accused of Racism

Popular blog Style.com has published article discussing Vanity Fair's choice of celebrities when doing group photos. It's hard to speculate but Style.com has provided a clear evidence that racism does exist in the world of fashion.


When analyzing 11 similar group photos published over the past 15 years we can see a pattern of black models and movie stars being tackled away on the back rows or sides. Most of such photos are tri-fold, so the top part of the photos always shows only white people. Initially, such group combinations were a norm, but as time goes on and topic of racism is raised with every possibility, making such photos in 2o12 is plain unacceptable.

Question arises, why black and even white models agree pose in such discriminating photos? We all here to judge, but who's fault is here. For the most part of people participating in such photos. Funny thing, is that some shoots represent times when black people were on the peak of emergence in fashion world - 1930's. No movie about Great Depression is made without large number of black characters. Yet, when it comes to this photo black people are absent.





Interestingly, in style.com comments people disregard the point of the article and take time to discuss who is better Zoe Saldana or Halle Berry.
