+ Target Yanks 'Neo-Nazi' Clothing Off Shelves
Yahoo! - Target stores remove clothing marked with the Neo-Nazi code "88".
(Target didn't realize they were carrying Nazi themed clothes. I believe them. Who would know, other than the people in that sub-culture or those who watches them, that '88' is code for "Heil Hitler"? Other stores should do themselves a favour a check their own stores.)
+ Tween fashion means being different, just like everyone else
National Post - Marketing experts say kids, especially girls,by age nine or 10, they're already coming of age as consumers.
(That's sick! I really wish the fashion industry wouldn't target kids. What next. Fashion mags with 14 and 15 year old models dressed up as whores. Oh wait.. too late.

Article quote from a 11 year old girl: "Yes, I'm wearing Juicy Couture sweatpants right now," she says enthusiastically. "It says 'Juicy' on my bum in velvet.")

Hello! - Britney edged out Madonna for the worst-dressed on the Prima magazine readers’ poll.
(Remember when Madonna was actually considered cool in fashion. She was even Pop magazine's "icon". I find it suiting that these two would be seen by some as the worst dressed. Considering they're probably the two biggest influence on 11 year old girls who wear clothes with "Juicy" written on the bum)

Simone and CQ

Simone did not make on its opening weekend 4.1 million dollars. It made 3.8 million, still good for 9th place. As of Monday, it reaches 4.1 million, after dropping in sales by 65% from Sunday. CQ may have finished its North American run (8/22?). It has made in North America, $404,332.

Can you believe still some newspapers and web sites actually believed Simone's makers, that Rachel Roberts was a computer image. But not all were so easily fooled.

+ New Line Remains Mum About 'Simone' Identity
Zap2it - The actress is an amalgam -- a bit of Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, Whitney Houston and many more. She looks like Julia Roberts, Charlize Theron and Cameron Diaz.
... next day's article
+ Simone Is a Real Girl After All
Zap2it - However, a number of press sources have pointed out that the character has an uncanny resemblance to Canadian model Rachel Roberts
(me being one who pointed it out to them. Don't get me wrong. It was dumb of Zap2it to fall for it. But Zap2it is a good site.)

Katherine Monk of the Vancouver Sun - Hollywood can make a fake star, but only fans can make a real celebrity
+ The truth about Simone
National Post - Digital star is played by a real actress, but you knew that -- didn't you?
National Post, with files from news services - Did you know Simone is actually a actress? *gasp*
(I'm thinking the studio that released Simone, should of built up the Rachel and the effects to make her look digital. Instead of the dumb 3.8 opening weekend idea of saying Simone was a digital actress all along. Maybe the studio highered who ever does Gap commercials to maket their movie. That would explain everything! Speaking of Gap's new Shalom Harlow commercial. Kinda provacative, eh?)
+ Simone 'as herself' looks a lot like a certain model
USA Today - film that purports to be a satire of the dangerous power of cinematic illusion
(I hope one day there are digital actors and actresses. Maybe then studios won't be so dumb in paying so much to actors, and ticket prices will go down)
+ Mystery girl revealed
Calgary Sun - The end credits list “Simone as Herself,” with no mention of Roberts. Roberts’ name will be added to the credits when the film comes out on video.

Hi everyone! Been busy, working on other things this past week. And before that, I had server troubles (happens to all servers at some point. It's a pain, but it happens, once every blue moon).

I can't believe people (movie reviewers, entertainment writers, etc) actually fell for thinking Simone, from the movie, Simone, was actually a computer person! How stupid do you have to be! Geez, I even correctly a couple. You'd think after the 80s' Max Headroom, everyone's first guess would be an actress. I guess Rachel Roberts (Simone, she plays. Click on the hyperlink to see some scans), I've heard, isn't even credited in the movie. Part of the trick of the studio saying, Simone was computer generated. I'll stick up some articles to show. You Fashist! visitors can have a good laugh on behalf of these professional writers, who fell for it.

Simone on its opening weekend came in 9th place, with a North American take of around $4 million. I don't know how much the movie costed? Obviously if Simone was a computer, then the cost would be probably around 150+ million (Spider-man costed thanks to all of its computer effects, over $130 million). I'm sure with an opener of 4 mil, the studio is glad Simone was Rachel Roberts and not FX. I don't know the actual cost, but I'm sure they over-paid Al Pacino. They've spent so far 25 mil on marketing. Talk about a money lost just over that. 4 mil? That's awful. Even a thousand more theatres might of just gotten it another 2 million. Speaking of movies. Star Wars STILL isn't over 300 mil! C'mon people. Go see it again. Not only can't you sit and let Star Wars not get over 300 million. You have to get up another 7 mil. If Clones on the all-time can't get past ID4! Independence Day was awful. Help Clones pass ID4.

I notice out of the Canadian mags, Canada Fashion magazine, thought ahead buy having Rachel Roberts on their cover. She's Canadian, after all. I never got this month's Elle (guess they didn't like my negative review. What can I say? Last month's was a bad issue! Previous months were real good. It was getting almost to a point where the US Elle might of been ignored). I notice Cdn Elle is doing commercials! Hope they keep some money for the editorials. I don't much like the fact my tax dollars go to a magazine's tv commercial (our spend allot gov't has a tax payer funded magazine free-4-all fund, for magazines. Doesn't matter if they're a money maker or loser. They all get free money). Hey, fancy this.. Elle's editor talks a bit about Milan. Unfortunely she doesn't mention what I've trying to look up on Milan all week! Is there a website with the upcoming fashion shows, their schedules, information. London has a good one. Or, exactly how far from city center does one not want to be? Where to go, what do you tip on, are taxi expensive, does the service in restaurants suck (like it sure does in Amsterdam!)? You know, information. I don't suppose I have any Milanese visitors or anyone who's been there? I'm curious about Milan, let's just say.

Okay, call this a quick rant..

What's with the SJP covers? She has to be one of the least glamorous actresses out there to choose from (if they want a SitC girl. Pick the brunette or redhead girl, at least). I look at her, and I think of a children's story of 3 goats trying to cross a bridge, with SJP living under the bridge. I understand the "supermodel" has been replaced with the "superactress". Fashion editors, designers and modeling agents only have themselves to blame here for some of the choices they picked over the last few years to be the current faces of fashion.

What I'd like to see. Since I greatly prefer models over celebrities. Stop hiring "everyone's" kids. If they need a job, let them apply at Burger World or become a groupie for a Poison revival tour. Next, I wish they'd get off this androgenous trip they've been on for years. Let girls be girls! Let women look like women! Don't hirer a male model who looks like An Oost, then stick him beside An Oost, who's been made up to look like a 13 year old boy. If they spent all this energy on trying to make a girl model look like a guy, and put into trying to make a girl model look glamour [and try to make male models look like guys who could star in a movie like James Bond or xXx, instead of some flower puff dandy boy (any guy who obviously looks high maintenance and more concern with getting a facial and his toe nails done, or cries after watching Dr.Phil on Oprah) or someone who looks so ill, they might topple over under the weight of the feathers and fur they are wearing]. Maybe then they wouldn't have to rush out for actresses and actors to fill the void; whom in their movies are never made to be anything but perfection (Russel Crowe as a math genius?? Come on! But you get my point, I hope).

Well, it's there bottom dollar. I don't mind holding onto my dollar until I see something more that I like.

A couple of Adriana Sklenarikova Karembeu, fans wrote in to response to a comment I made on Adriana, Playboy, and Wonderbra.

Adriana is still with Wonderbra. She has not been replaced. Inna Zobova is the new Wonderbra girl, but Adriana will be also, till at least until June 2003, because of her contract extension. The Playboy thing is unrelated, and she did it simply because she wanted too.

I'll just say this. It's been my observation, usually whenever a fashion model does pose in American PB (the point being the American edition meant for a American audience), it's too drum up attention, exposure, get the press talking about them, for some reason or another (a movie jump, a career jump start or comeback, or to show off themselves, cause either they want to get attention from other mens' style mags. Or they've been doing similar editorials in regular women European fashion magazines already. So PB is just another magazine). Why Adriana did, frankly, I honestly don't care. I'm not even a fan of Inna Zobova.
