Wait until the Meiselites find out that he used to contribute to VF. They'll be all over these threads :lol:

Thanks so much for posting, Justaguy!
The cover edit is interesting, but Baryshnikov's ego is too much.

So true!!!
 
Hated that Argentina article. All the politics here since that year are forgettable.
 
^ But... but this is 1989, you were still 12 years away from the wild ride of 2001, right?.

I saw that article earlier today and texted my Argentinian friend "Menem was an Arab?!! lol how did that go down with the Jewish community?", his response "the embassy of Israel and the AMIA were bombed so they killed his son" :mellow::mellow:

I agree Baryshnikov's ego is too much but also, the way American media, celebrities and every powerful person in NY pumped that ego from day one is baffling.. it was that disproportionate hype (beginning with this idea that he was remotely good-looking, which he clearly bought!) that you would think it was sponsored by whatever agency was in charge of fueling anti-USSR sentiments back in the day cause you know, defector. Still... I'll be honest, he remains in my professional radar and I'd do and give up.. a lot of things to establish proximity.:lol:


Love that Ralph Lauren/Bruce Weber ad.. :heart:

It's a very very long story to explain our economic troubles, and Menem did a lot that echoed over his post years. 2001 (our 2001), was an explositon of all the politics economics of the previous decade. Wish to have a better english and the economic vocabulary to explain it right, but yeah. I was a child whan that happened and it was pretty rough for us. About his son, there so many theories if he was killed of it was an accident, but was after thoese attacks. Peronismo from the 90s to now has a feud with jewish community.

About Meisel Vanity Fair stories, I always knew he did some jobs for them, but personaly it's quite meh for me. I'm into his model work, the rest, if it's good, I like it, but not my cup of tea.

The real Meiselites already know :P

But damn, would you look at Annie!! I listened to one of those Vogue podcasts the other day where her and Grace talked about the making of Alice in Wonderland and what a great photographer she is. People tend to forget about that, they seem to like hating on her for one reason or another. But her great skill is too obvious to deny. The cover story is quite nice, but it's the Gap ads for me! Truly beautiful.
 
^^^ Oh absolutely.

Whatever’s become of Annie these days has gone from fair criticism to unfair dismissal. But nothing will ever diminish her strongest efforts of studio shots that were as golden as her most sweeping, cinematic fashion imageries. She really was untouchable. These 3 shots captures so eloquently, the effortlessly elegance the brand of glamour that radiants from the individuals and not a thing to do with designer clothes, that transcend time and age. Unfortunate that this current era of fashion has forsaken-- or likely, just doesn't even understand:
