More Bling for your Bing! new and gently loved fashion props and favorites

Frankly Franco (overachievers anonymous)

Initially I was not mesmerized by Mr. Franco’s talent.
(as in ‘James…who?’)
As fate would have it–I watched the film, ‘Annapolis,’ (most unfortunately while my son was a midshipman AT Annapolis) and it was a bit more Sci-fi to my reality than anything Roswell, NM could offer…..The film was very surreal. Very.

Act II: I heard about a segment on 30 Rock in which James Franco played himself dating a Japanese Pillow (yeah, you can laugh, but dudes actually take these on “rabu rabu” Love getaways in Japan) (like, really)…

Quote: ‘I’ll loan you a shirt, try to look like you just got drilled, you know the deal’
….such a romantic (really shows through the lines). Be still my heart (obviously, James is my kind of guy).

Act III: Saw Mr. Franco on SNL’s digital short: Tizzle Wizzle (Jammy Shuffle) and Fell in Love.
and I mean, yeah—I’d like to peel off his Dr. Denton’s.

Act IV: Learned that not only is “Jim” (decided to get friendlier here) working on his PHD at Yale and teaching at Columbia, but he’s doing a soap opera and writing books.

I wonder if the dude ever sleeps. If so HOW….WHEN?????

Reportedly, James recently broke up with his girlfriend of many years as he ‘took on’ YET ANOTHER project and well, he didn’t have much time to spare.
Surprise.

Gucci, me and the camera REALLY like him a lot.

So that said…I want to Marry him.
Or at least write a sonnet.
(maybe haiku….?)
Yep.

He’s smart.
He’s busy
He’s funny
and…he’s an Aries.
(He’s also a Horse in Chinese astrology, but I really don’t see myself wanting to clean out his hooves or put a saddle on him.)

(BUT at least let me bid on a date with him on eBay–Eric Gazin surely has an auction tailored to this quest that will benefit SOMEONE)

okay, on a different note:
Our most sincere YYC condolences to Mr. Franco and his family on the loss of his father last week.

Actually, our admiration for Mr. Franco is not just for being another pretty face.
….but,
He is kinda cute.
In that ‘reading the Iliad’ sort of way.

Looking forward to President Franco.

Gucci does Espadrilles…..

Wedgies (no, not that kind….I have an eight year old, pardon the lapse)–seem to be THE theme this Fall.
And Gucci seems to be borrowing (read that knocking off) Christian Louboutin’s signature staple for the season.
That said, we didn’t find any particularly impressive varieties of the style at Neimans or Saks.
Eddie (aka, OUR SHOE GUY - 212-872-8940 AT BERGDORF GOODMAN offers up this trio.

We particularly like the denim suede (also available in Natural).
Nice with a jean skirt, sort of PTA with a little (as in very) flair. Ole.

These Boots Weren’t Made for Walkin’

Eddie Curtis of Bergdorf Goodman (aka, my Shoe GURU….) just sent me a pic of Alaia’s newest little black suede bootie (with a pretty big price….)

…as well as two of his pix in that thigh high category that we at YYC groove to—both by Louboutin!
Many, many thanks, Eddie.

Ladies, aim your plastic and fire. These won’t last long unless you are a 41.5 or a 35.5. (212-872-8940)

Personally, I prefer the tie up bootie at a mere $1955. (Plus that extra $290 for necessities of life….like Chocolates, etc.) Either option, remember—ship out of NY and NO TAX! (surely you Uptown girls have someone you know in Jersey).

Gucci’s caramel frappe suede $2250….

(yeah, for this price point we Do need to feel like we’re driving through Starbucks …Just think….1200 Venti Lattes later and you’ve got BOOTS—kinda makes it all seem worthwhile….) and, I can only imagine how the nap on these babies will fare after a ‘day in the life’ of me. (The lattes May indeed be a better investment after all.)
