What A Hack

There's just something about Kate Moss' baby daddy-slash-UK publishing king Jefferson Hack.

Not only does he oversee the inner and outer workings of quirky, cool Brit glossies Dazed & Confused and Another Magazine, Hack also has Moss as an ex (naturallly) and French model Anouck Lapere as his current other half.

No wonder the man gets photographed everywhere -- he's not a hack at all.

In fact, he's quite the dapper chap.








I'm Lovin' it: I still have yet to warm up to come to the new head designer at Chloe. Is it me, or has Chloe lost its Chloe-ness since Philo left?? Anyhoo, the Resort 2008 collection was not my fave at all. It looks kind of -- forgive me for saying this, couture gods! -- cheaply made, though I am well aware it isn't. Does the latter comment affect any potential discounts with the House of Chloe? If so, here's my damage control then: I do like these white sandals, in a futuristically strappy way.







I'm Over it: Every single time I scroll through the images on Style.com, this godforsaken ad pops up every couple of windows. I'm no fashion photographer, but what I do know is this shot is terrible and chaps me each time. This is my cyber-plea to Conde Nast (well, Conde Net in this case) to please, please, puh-leeze remove it.






Band of the Day: The National is playing tonight at Richard's on Richards and I'm absolutely DYING to go. Unfortunately, most of my friends who'd be willing to listen to this Cincinnati-bred, New York-transplanted band are camping (not for me, but thanks for the offer) or otherwise occupied for the night. Their new album "The Boxer" should hold up just as good as their last album "The Alligator". Pre-occupation with the word "the" much, fellas?

Seeing their show woulda been a faaaaaaantastic way to kick off the Canada Day long weekend. Ah well, thus is life.
