Remember the man who unleashed a brutal tirade against British women, contending they were all unkempt, lazy, and just plain ugly, especially in compassion to the well-groomed, taut and toned, style-conscious women in America? While the piece was met with justifiable wrath, outrage, and downright horror from the entire female British population, Liz Jones took her indignation a big step further. The always outspoken, brash, often irreverent journalist was not content merely dismantling the high pedestal Tad Safran erected honoring the impeccably groomed American Woman with a pen (included in her tirade is the claim that American women are €œmindbogglingly stupid,€� talentless, and €œobsessed with staying young and marrying rich€�, OUCH!), rather, she set out to debunk his claims in person by going on a date with Britain€™s most hated bachelor. Read on to see how it went, trust me, it€™s a MUST READ.
Plus stories on the famous faces helping H&M raise AIDS awareness, capturing the essence of Andy Warhol in a perfume bottle, the latest craze for online shoppers, and an extensive review of the high-fashion happenings we can expect in 2008.
