Many stars have gathered to pay tribute to the late style icon André Leon Talley. A memorial was held for the fashion journalist on April 29 at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York, and numerous celebrities came to pay their respects, including Karlie Kloss, Naomi Campbell, and even Anna Wintour - despite the fact that their once-close friendship turned sour before his death. Talley, who worked as Vogue's editor-at-large from 1998 to 2013, railed against Wintour two years before his death,

Comments:

I read Tally's book. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of fashion, and very good taste. He was far nicer to Anna Wintour than she deserved, considering how she treated (and used) him.

I’ve been around longer than some. Vogue under others (pre Anna Wintour, who ruined it) was a bible for those of us who sewed and tailored our own serious clothing. Pre-polyester. Talley came with the Wintour years and yes, he used his blackness to get ahead. In his own words, FTA: He was also the first black person to hold his position at Vogue and in a 2020 interview with Essence said his 'blackness' helped shape his success. 'I never separated from my blackness,' he told the news outlet. 'My blackness is what made me. He was a real flaming whateversexual, piled on tons of weight, and wore yards and yards of drapery material before Mooch Obama thought of it. He was a horrible snob for no good reason. Rhymed with itchy. I found him to be terminally boring, but being good to Andre seemed to give celebs brownie points because of his gayness and blackness..

I doubt that Anna Wintour will ever allow herself to become overweight, but the photos show how old and uncool she is. Her bio explains how she clawed her way up. Those who preceded her were fae more elegant and promoted far better fashion. IMO, Vogue has been toast for a long, long time.

As to Mr Tally's alleging to have been "stoned" by a group of Duke students when he tried to cross the campus to find a copy of Vogue back in his salad days, if you look at a satellite view of Duke in relation to any Durham business district, you will see there would be no reason to cross the campus to get to a magazine store or newstand, neither now nor back in the Sixties when he lived there. Having said that, was racism and the KKK alive and well in Durham back then? Hell yeah, Bubba, it was terrible.

So much botox in their faces (if they smile their faces would crack) but not one thought to those saggy baggy knees. Like hands, knees almost always tell age. There comes a time when slacks or a below the knee skirt is advised. Martha Stewart looks like she is checking in for outpatient surgery not attending a memorial service. I have always thought Wintour was one of the most ridiculous looking women in her giant blackout glasses and that silly outdated haircut. For someone on the cusp of fashion, she hasn't changed one thing about her personal fashion in 30 years. And maybe that mop she calls hair is actually a wig.

I remember years ago, when I was a young girl. The carnival came to our small town for a few days. My friends and I were beyond excited to go and enjoy it together. The excitement of rides & games, etc., bathed in its neon colored atmosphere lived up to all of our expectations. But, the next day’s trip to the fairgrounds, in the bright sunshine, showed all of the reality and tawdriness that had seemed so glamorous beneath the neon of the previous evening. I thought about that when I saw the pictures of these supposed icons attending the funeral in this story. Really kinda sad, and empty, in so many ways. I wish that I could believe that one soul, who attended that service, heard anything relevant to the actual realties of eternity and/or that it made a difference in their lives. Sadly, I truly doubt it.

I'll echo poster #10. How do any of these mostly mentally ill and deviant creatures effect the average Joe or Jane at all? If anyone is so into "fashion" that they read Vogue, they need to get a life. There are far more serious things going on in our world, e.g., raging inflation, a senile president, and worst of all, millions of people who would still vote democratic like robots.

I used to live in Germany and my German was shaky. When I first arrived I was mostly unintelligible. The pictures in this article reminded me of that. If fashion is a statement, here is what I understood to be said, “Today I feel like being an African albino ostrich wearing a satellite dish”, “woman with faux hairy chest with man who dressed out of the dirty clothes hamper at night with the lights off,” “I’m a belted used Q-tip dominatrix complete with ear wax-colored wig accompanied by my son who I dressed in a mask because he’s no looker but he does stuff his pants”. Perhaps these people are trying to speak a language THEY don’t understand.

San Francisco has been waiting to be rocked by another massive earthquake since 1906. On Tuesday night this week, it finally came when the people of America’s most famously Left-wing city voted overwhelmingly to throw out their chief prosecutor — and with him a policy of ultra-woke tolerance of crime that has brought the city to its knees. Some 60 per cent of San Franciscans voted to ‘recall’ from office Chesa Boudin, a pin-up for the ‘progressive’ Left, midway through his term as the city’s District Attorney.

Last year, the United Methodist Church accepted Isaac Simmons, who regularly preaches dressed as a drag queen under the name Ms. Penny Cost, as a candidate for ordination. Since that time, Simmons, who serves as an associate pastor at Hope United Methodist Church in Bloomington, Illinois, has challenged basic theological concepts, projecting a worldview where divinity rests not in God but in queerness. In a church preparing to split over LGBTQ issues, the drag queen pastor, who embraces queer theology while barely attempting to plaster on the basic tenets of Christian theology, has become a lightning rod. Conservatives argue that Simmons’ role as a celebrated figure

Just days after President Joe Biden’s Centers for Disease Control ordered yet another extension of the federal mask mandate, a Florida judge ruled that the agency had no authority to impose it in the first place, saying that “our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends.” To public cheers, the TSA, Amtrak, the Washington Metro system, and other public transportation systems immediately ditched their mask requirements, even though the Biden administration is appealing the ruling in hopes overturning it. No one, it seems, trusts the CDC anymore. But all of this comes as COVID cases appear to be on the upswing.

Disgraced Prince Andrew strong-armed the Queen into letting him take centre stage at a memorial service to his late father Prince Philip yesterday, insiders have said. The Duke of York is understood to have got his way after lobbying to take his 95-year-old mother to her seat because she 'couldn't say no to her favourite son' despite objections from William and Charles, sources claimed. The Dean of Westminster had been expected to take the Monarch to her seat while the Prince followed behind, but footage captured shortly after they entered the Abbey shows the shamed royal clinging to his mother's arm.

The mother of three served under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001 and was a longtime diplomat. Albright was born in 1937 in Prague, Czechoslovakia and immigrated to the United States with her family in 1948 as a refugee in the aftermath of World War II. Her family fled to Britain in 1939 to avoid the Nazis and then the United States nearly a decade later to escape the communists' grip on Czechoslovakia.

Studies suggest a link between an incurable and fatal prion disease known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) and COVID-19 vaccines. Researchers believe the prion region from the original Wuhan COVID-19 variant’s spike protein was incorporated into mRNA vaccines and adenovirus vector vaccines — given to hundreds of millions of humans — and that it can cause a new type of rapidly progressing sporadic CJD. According to Mayo Clinic, CJD is a degenerative brain disorder that leads to dementia and, ultimately, death. Although the Omicron variant does not have a prion region on its spike protein, current COVID-19 vaccines still use the genetic material — including the prion region — of the parent Wuhan strain.

Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) has given the world plenty of examples showing why America should run from socialized medicine, such as soulless, bureaucratic decision-making and long wait times for planned procedures. Now, a shocking new video shows yet another reason: insufficient service for the community, resulting in waits of seven-and-a-half hours and up for emergency room visitors to see a doctor. A video that was taken in the Harlow A&E (Accident and Emergency) waiting room, part of the Princess Alexandra hospital NHS trust in Essex, UK, has gone viral. Filmed late Monday afternoon, the footage shows a nurse addressing the people waiting in the crowded room.
