The Readers Have Spoken!  The Results Are In For
Who Will Take Over For Karl

 
No, Not This Mark!
 
Yes, it is true, Little Missy DID try to steer her flock in a different direction, but respects Democracy with a capital D.  Thank God for democracy in all its forms.  Without it we could have been communists or even worse, fascists and communists! So the readers have spoken, and they want Marc Jacobs to take over for Karl.  Here's how the candidates polled
1. Marc Jacobs
2. Rodarte
3. Kanye West
4. Alexander Wang
 
And then there were write ins for Haider Ackerman, Hedi Slimane (Good God, we need some more fashion education here, Missy is obviously failing at her task-- did you see YSL Fall 2013???  --seriously bad, Hedi!), and a couple for our beloved Alber Ebaz.  Tom Ford didn't even make the radar, so Missy has made some inroads somewhere! 
 
Bill Gates In His Day
 
Now let's talk about the new dialogue!  Who do you agree with, Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg?  Bill feels that that babies in Africa who are dying of diarrhoea are the pivotal issue of the day.  Who can disagree?  Not Little Missy! None of us!  Of course, Bill, we are all totally with  you on that one hundred percent!  But Mark and Facebook feel that it is pivotal to get Internet in the 70 % of the world that does not have it!  That there is No Going Back, and darn it He Is Right TOO!  This reminds Little Missy of her old days, of holding little soirees on the Stanford campus, and one of my favourites of all time was Amartya Sen, a Nobel Laureate and the Father of Welfare Economics. Illuminate his link, and find out who this genius is!  Yes, Little Missy was a Stanford University Hostess!   And Amartya was my most beloved academic ever.  And Amartya said that without Democracy, China had famines!  That India avoided famines because they had democracy!  And that means Freedom of Speech!  And of the Press!  Which is also why we Are able to have this blogging world today! Have you ever been to Saudi Arabia?  Don't try to blog there!  Because you won't be able to!  So Little Missy is beginning to think that Mark Zuckerberg is thinking along the lines of Amartya Sen! Without global communication we are really sunk!  I think Mark Zuckerberg has a case!  Even if he is not the most fashion forward! OMG, I am comparing Mark Zuckerberg with Amartya Sen!  Kind of!  They think alike!  Verbally Globally!  Little Missy wishes Bill Gates all good wishes and honors his commitment to humanity.  And wishes success to Mark and Facebook too!
 
 
Sadly It's Safe To Say There Will Never be Another Like This One

    Ten Little Things That Can Change Your Fashion Life
 
Black nail polish on toes and hands
 
Stop obsessing about your hair. If it’s long, put it into a ponytail and then stick a twig into it.
 
Wear that precious Armani or Chanel or whatever frock at eight in the morning, and when you buy your orange juice and English muffins and the rest of your groceries you will finally earn some respect.
 
Cut your hair if you are bored.
 
Move to London.  When you are tired of London you are tired of life.  Hello!  Or Shanghai!
 
Take up snorkeling
.
Pay attention to the animal kingdom and stop wearing them.
 
Fresh flowers are more important than bread.
 
Sorry to say this but hair spray really does matter.
 
Who cares what any one thinks about your look?  Just go for it!

Readers' Poll---Who Could Take Over For Karl?

 
The Divine Karl
 
Since no one can take over for Karl, Little Missy reaches out to her readers, especially in the States, Canada, the UK, Europe and Asia! One day we will have to face the music.  Who will it be?
 

Marc Jacobs
Pros of Marc Jacobs:  Gives all women a break, especially and including older women.
Cons:  Lost his edge (in rehab???)
 
Alexander Wang
 
There is Alexander Wang in the women's bathroom of the Metropolitan Museum a couple of years ago (The Met Gala for McQueen).  I didn't see Karl in the women's bathroom.
 
Rodarte
 

Pros of Rodarte:  They know what they are doing and will turn Chanel into a fashion art phenomenon.
Cons of Rodarte:  They would have to spend less time in California and Little Missy would go berserk.
 
 
Kanye West
 

This is a no-brainer!  Kanye would be perfect!  OMG Why hasn't someone thought of this sooner?
 
 
 
 
Well, that's it!  Vote for one of the candidates or write in your choice!  Who can take over Chanel?  Since we know it is nearly impossible!
