Does anybody have pictures of Alexa wearing a fur? I just bought one and I would love to get some inspiration for the styling. xx

These are the only pictures I can think of




myspace, elleuk, company, isifa, getty, tartydoris

I just found a blog about the Atelier Moet launch that said Alexa has "dubious taste in music - Paul & Paula was her second song selection". I just youtubed them and love it It's cheesy 60s pop.

Alexa Chung: 'I might give up being a vegetarian... No, that's the just the hangover talking'

Apparently, MGMT left Tokyo the day we arrived, The Kills played a gig here last night, and the other day I saw a group of scruffy men accompanied by a gaggle of over-pretty/under-dressed girlfriends looking professionally bored in the lobby – this must mean the boys are in a band. Japan, it would seem, is the place to be.


And I'm due to leave tomorrow, which is incredibly irritating because after four days of filming for T4 on boats, in crowds and over zebra crossings, I've only just become accustomed to the time difference. I was hoping that by tomorrow I wouldn't be falling into my miso soup at dinner. That was my goal.

The sun rising over the city's skyline wasn't the thing that woke me this morning, as it has done over the past few days; my head was too heavy for that. Instead a combination of hunger and overheating left me no other option but to roll out of bed, release myself from the tangled dress and tights I had failed to take off the night before and survey the food options available. I couldn't face yet another egg sandwich from the nearby shop for breakfast, so instead I decided to hit up room service.

Understandably, given that my voice today is even more of a hollow husk than usual, they got my order wrong. Talking louder to the person at the other end of the line isn't going to change the fact that I just swallowed some kind of meat, which was slyly hiding behind an oversized lettuce leaf.

I hate that freaking leaf, that's the first time I've eaten meat in years. By now, though, I'm SO HUNGRY, I'm considering abandoning my stoical commitment to vegetarianism altogether. No, that's just a hangover talking.

I wish I could talk, but my throat is useless today. I appear to have done it irreparable damage during a particularly rowdy karaoke session last night. We celebrated our last day of filming with an embarrassment of air guitar.

I think I'll forever regret my appalling Axl Rose impression even more than my disgusting attempt at rapping Dr Dre's role in "Guilty Conscience". My throat clearly hasn't forgiven me yet; I wonder whether the crew have? This was the last in a string of nights spent partying as hard as we worked during the day, and it has culminated in all my internal organs aching and apparently the death of my voice, which can only be a good thing, given the inane chat that would be coming out of it right now.

The only missing factor in last night's shenanigans was Craig David. We interviewed the infamous lady lover earlier in the week, and found him to be incredibly funny and charming. Rick Edwards (below left, with me and Craig David), my co-presenter, ended up singing "What's Your Flava?" with him in yet another karaoke situation set up for the purposes of the interview.

It was extremely entertaining, but seeing the lyrics spelled out on a screen really did highlight how silly they are. Craig David (if you are going to be greedy enough to have two first names I will use them both) invited all the team to go out with him that night. Our hearts sank later that evening when he failed to call our hotel. It turned out OK though. Rather than a night on the tiles with CD, we instead found ourselves in a basement bar listening to Metallica with some Japanese dudes.

Before long, one of them had pulled down his pants to reveal he was wearing an elephant-face thong, and rather than scurrying away, the whole team then spent the rest of that night there, chanting like hooligans to Japanese metal songs we didn't know and rubbing shoulders with semi-naked locals. The fact we would have to get up in the morning to work kept slipping our minds. This is my only regret.

Alexa Chung wants to return to modelling

"I would actually like to model again now because I think I would have a lot more input, so watch this space," says Alexa, who hosts the Channel 4 music show T4. "I stopped modelling because it was just so stifling. It is very hard, when something is your passion, to be controlled and told how to do it and what to wear."

Alexa, whose boyfriend is the Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner, adds: "I still get modelling offers all the time and since I moved on to other things, the offers have become a lot more appealing."

She must think pretty highly of herself if she thinks she'd have more input now.
Here's hoping she sticks to presenting.... she's a horrible model.

 

[LegsXI]

models don't have input, surely she knows that! you're not paid to give your opinion

 

[lollicandy]

What a weird thing to say. Maybe she wants/thinks people will let her style herself during shoots.

 

[helmut.newton]

It sounds like shes saying that bit about modeling, sarcastically.

She's said things like that before, jokingly.

 

[saturdaysgirl]

I doubt if that's real fur too.
HAHA I loved that sketch on Popworld - the one there's a pic of in post #5466, top right.
Anyway, this time again I liked the article.
Ok, I agree that the last was not as stylistic as it could be neither is most journalism and especially columnists and the reason it may not have been cut for content is that she has a word count to fill and the lay out people and sub editors of the Indepedent have that space to fill. This is why a lot of crap is printed in newspapers.

 

[DiamondSea]

She must think pretty highly of herself if she thinks she'd have more input now.

I agree, you don't get to choose what you want to wear, you're trying to sell whatever is given to you I'm sure the offers are a lot more appealing these days though.

 

[saturdaysgirl]

I'm sure she has a lot more say now in that she can turn down work that'd have you sitting on a giant loo roll, for instance, because she has a much bigger profile.
But I hope she doesn't think that she can have an opinion. I hate models who have opinions during shoots. Just shut up and look pretty!
Anyway, I'm sure the work she's being offered now is much better in terms of designers, stylists and photographers..... like she won't be shooting a lookbook for Urban Outfitters again.

 

[Rykiel]

she's probably taking the piss a bit, i'm sure she knows who all the pretty young things aka. 'real models' are nowadays to really take it seriously. she seems funny, like my kind of funny.

 

[DiamondSea]

She's wearing her gold Marc by Marc Jacobs dress in the Independent karaoke photo. It's only small but I'll scan it later if no one else does.

She's mentioned in Heat's Spotted this week too - "Alex Turner and Alexa Chung snogging wildly during the interval of a Leonard Cohen concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London."

Please do so DiamondSea... everytime I get notification about "DiamondSea replying to Alexa's thread" I'm happy like a kid because I am convinced that the reply will include new pics

That would be great, thanks!

 

[gossiping]

[modela]

I think that this weeks column is her best so far

 

[DiamondSea]

I'll scan as soon as I get access to a scanner, probably not til Friday

 

[classicalbang]

Thanks for the screencaps.
I really like that striped blue dress.
