ReplyDeleteI invite you to visit my last post. Have a good week!
Thanks for the generic comment, much appreciated LOL
DeleteHow many blogs do you suppose they visit a day an paste this same stupid comment?
DeleteGiven that such blogs have about a hundred comments on their posts (all generic) I'd say they visit an equal number of blogs.
Deleteshe posted the same comment on my blog all the time...I meant..everytime the same..copied and pasted..I wouldn't do that to my blog friends at all..
DeleteWe are hardly her blogging friends LOL just targets and inanimate objects.
DeleteFirst Balenciaga, now Lagerfeld. Disney is going after fashion designers but are these biopics any good?
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit shocked that both shows ended up on Disney out of all streamers given that Lagerfeld was a nasty nazi and having in mind the recent Balenciaga scandal.
DeleteWe do love Parisian fashion. I can’t wait to see all of the costumes in this one.
ReplyDeleteI don't like Lagerfeld as a person, he was nasty Nazi and idiot, but I do look forward to the series and New Look one about Dior too, Balenciaga not so much.
DeleteI agree. And he just seemed to always have a stick up his ass. and he bonded with the likes of Kristen Stewart, so that tells me even more about his nasty character.
DeleteHe was a creep!
DeleteNot a fan of Karl Lagerfeld AT ALL...but I didn't know that he was a nazi...
ReplyDeleteHis parents were members of the Nazi party in Deutchland and he often had supremacist stances and other stupid opinions, not a nice guy at all, more of a villainous Nazi diva. I remember that he hated migrants and wanted them out kinda like Hitler in his time.
