corduroy pants! I love it

 

[Foxie-Pooh]

Yea...but it's ok though...like when someone asked me if I am a Nets fan and I told him I wasn't into baseball ...but I think it's a basketball team right? or hockey...

 

[cosmogrl5]

Only a man would name Cosmopolitan as a fashion magazine 1st and foremost before all the others out there. It's about sex, dude!

Anyway, this was funny. It just goes to show how different people have different interests. For example, I was in a store today, and I kept hearing some older woman going on and on about how expensive the new Neiman Marcus is (they just added one to my mall). She was going, "They have Stella McCarthy." And I was going NUTS because I wanted to scream, "It's Stella McCARTNEY!!!!" But she didn't know, and I bet she didn't care to know that difference either.

It is easy to forget that everyone on planet earth does not know who Anna Wintour is when you get lost in your "TFS" bubble.

[liberty33r1b]

sorry, but all those people look like they don't know, i'm not surprised....

 

[TheGlassAngel]

It's amazing how revered Anna is in the fashion world (god knows I would bow before her if I ever met her, even though I don't like US vogue that much ) but she's unknown to the majority of the public...

 

[KhaoticKharma]

I would have given a similar answer two years ago... tFs really changed me I guess. The small fraction of tFsers and fashion insiders really are in a unique bubble, sort of unawear of how little others think of fashion.

 

[vintageamour]

hahaha this is hysterical. this sounds like me trying to talk to my boyfriend about fashion, it's a lost cause

 

[seanutbutter]

i like how the first lady tried to go in the tents.

 

[Salvatore]

Those people are so adorable especially "corduroy pants" guy and the first lady who tried to enter the tents. Bless!

 

[Diamond Star]

This doesn't surprise me at all....but its pretty amusing to read
