"With his red thong clearly visible above his jeans, the comedian — who was virtually unrecognisable in a flamboyant leather gilet, with his slicked-down hair dyed blonde and brown — sucked Tampax, clapped along to the music and generally disgruntled the front row by continually pushing aside those sitting in front of him for a better look at the models." He then delivered a "lone standing ovation." [VogueUK]

Out Of Style
A reader writes: "I live in Bangladesh, where the nakshi kantha is a well-known form of folk art embroidery. Through 20 years of hard work, this art has been carefully revitalized in order to provide livelihoods to thousands of otherwise destitute Bangladeshi village women. The designs have been fully researched and documented by scholars, and the products are sold through various NGO retail outlets like Aarong and Kumudini. They are a source of deep pride among Bangladeshis... [and] while surfing the web late last night, I found myself on the Hermes website, looking at their scarves, when one particular design gave me a start. Are Hermes' 'artists' co-opting these indigenous designs for their own profit? Oh, wait, they did add some Hs to the design, so it must be original! Retail price of an actual silk nakshi kantha at an NGO outlet: $5-$15. Retail price of Hermes scarf: $355." (An authentic Bangladeshi nakshi kantha is on the left; Hermes scarf is on the right.)

Someone Tell Nietzsche: Luxury Is (Also) Dead
"Luxury"? A fallacy. At least that's what Dana Thomas concludes in her new, widely-publicized book Deluxe, reviewed by Michiko Kakutani in today's New York Times. And apparently Prada is to blame! Those nylon backpacks spotted everywhere in the 90's? They were at so low a price point ($450) that tons people bought them, thereby making the concept of "luxury" available to the masses. Kakutani's review notes that Deluxe is not only very good but very easy to read ("a crisp, witty social history that's as entertaining as it is informative") but, most importantly, Kakutani takes the opportunity to give a slight, backhanded bitchslap to Vogue editor Anna Wintour: More »
