Happy Pride Weekend!
Little Missy's Revelations About Life and Fashion
Provocative
Bittersweet Too
On this wonderful and beautiful Northern California weekend we are celebrating pride and diversity, to say nothing of embracing life, and Little Missy has some thoughts, mostly all joyous.
They are about
Yves Saint Laurent
Hippies
Relationships
and Fashion in general
My brand new Rodarte dress, perfect for my symphony date!
Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte who as you know are the best designers probably in the world and Little Missy's favourites, sent up this dress to me yesterday from LA. It's all my favourite stuff: white lace, diaphanous, black lace, embroidered, beyond sexy, beyond reproach, just simply beyond....so I immediately took it out of the box and put it on and voila I was ready for my symphony date. Those Rodarte sisters know how to design a dress!
Brahms First Symphony conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas and The San Francisco Symphony! Davies Hall is not Disney Hall (in LA) but we can't have everything! What a wonderful way to celebrate Pride weekend!
Yves Saint Laurent was my favourite designer and then he died. I will always love him. He grew up in Algeria and had a house in Morocco and wore caftans from way back. Was he the original hippie?
Little Missy puts out this theory.
Yves Saint Laurent was the true first hippie
Yves Saint Laurent was beyond a hippie, he was a god!
There were other cool hippies, but no one cooler or more original than this one! He was the first! The best!
And boy do I miss him!
Luckily there are two designers now who feed the most intense personal desire for fantasy, at least mine:
Madonna wore this on aura tout vu look during a recent tour almost non stop! Little Missy has been wearing on aura tout vu since 1999! Lucky me!
Rodarte AW 2013
Trust me and I know you do, I could post thousands of images of these designers
I confess, on aura tout vu is now more in the realm of the superstars like Rihanna and Madonna. But I have had great joy over the years wearing their mind boggling clothes. The world is finally catching up with these geniuses!
Now we come to Rodarte. What can I say that I haven't already said? To have the joy, the pleasure and really the Honor to have worn this design team for the past eleven years is beyond amazing. Rodarte should have been given the Womenswear Designer of the year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America this past spring. That is plain and simple. Kate and Laura are simply making the most beautiful clothes in America and they are NOT SELLING OUT OR MOVING TO NEW YORK! So get over it CFDA and stop rewarding bad behaviour and start rewarding good behaviour and the best design to ever come out of this country! Did anyone ask Picasso what his business plan was? OMG! Did Einstein get a Nobel Prize for not one but two theories that changed our world? NO! It is crazy!
OMG I said I was going to write about relationships! How about get a good relationship going with yourself? Stop and think a moment about what you see. If it's garbage, change it! Don't let garbage happen, and what better day than today to say KEEP THAT MORON WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS AWAY FROM THE OVAL OFFICE! Do everything you can to prevent this from happening! This is no laughing matter!
Goodbye Bill Cunningham
We have lost a gentle genius. I was one of the lucky ones to be photographed by Bill Cunningham and I always regarded it as the highest Honor. Last night I shared with Kate and Laura that just last autumn, Mr. Cunningham asked me to step out and twirl for him in my Rodarte gown. It was a thrill not easy to describe, and the last time Mr. Cunningham photographed me. Kate and Laura shared with me their joy that he never missed their shows.
Dear beloved readers, I love you all and wish you all the best this summer. We just don't know what's around the corner, so live and love and work to your fullest measure. That's all. In the moment as always,
Love Little Missy
