So way back in November, we were stunned by the news that Lara Stone and David Walliams were dating. Well now they’re getting married! Yeah he proposed to her by hiding the vintage Tiffany engagement ring in a burger. Obviously this isn’t going to last but I wonder if they’ll actually go through with the wedding. I love that these two seem to be so open. We didn’t get so much as a glimpse of a dress when Sophie Dahl married Jamie Cullum recently, but we’ve already seen Lara and David cavorting around Mexico so they’re bound to show us some wedding pics, no? Who’s going to be best man? Matt Lucas. And what about bridesmaids? Oh this could be brilliant.
Tanya Gold has a vicious piece on fashion in today’s G2. She doesn’t like it and somehow links it to a tragic accident in an attempt to put us all off it too. Stylebubble has already responded, saying: "Gold's hatred of fashion is based on high heels, mal-treated models and gross consumption, when fashion and style (I'm lumping the two together because I'm thinking Gold hasn't made a distinction between the two...) is SO much more than that... "
If you happen to be in London and have cash and time to spare, call into the Connaught where they are selling galette des rois throughout January with proceeds going to the Great Ormond Street Hospital. I was lucky enough to get to try a slice when I wrote about it for Spectator Scoff and can’t recommend it highly enough.
I am now blogging for The Gloss. Check out my first post, and the posts of Caroline Scott and Natasha Sherling, on The Daily Gloss. LE

That's kind of a hilarious model story; he hid the ring in a burger. Well then how on earth did she find it?! You can imagine the punchline being wittier than that, but I suppose the story suits Stone, given that the fashion world seems to view her as much akin to Beth Ditto. Of course she eats burgers, no wonder she's a whole huge size 8 (UK).
I wonder which will last longer: Stone and Walliams or Perry and Brand... my money's on the latter, oddly.
Apparently Lara always lifts her burger bun off to remove the salad. Or something. This is what the Daily Mail told me! Yeah they do remind me of Perry and Brand. Yeah actually maybe I'm with you for them lasting longer but I wonder with they all go through with the weddings. Maybe they should have a joint one!
I feel that Gold was just writing that to get some press (pardon the pun). While I can understand that fashion can be frustrating when you're nearing midlife and you aren't a nice sizr 10-12 anymore, and everything seems to be short and tight and too youthful, I also think people give up to easily and instead of shopping around or heading to a store more suited to age/size, people start whinging and blaming the industry! Yes it is a shallow industry but is it really so wrong for people to wear things that make them feel good about themselves? Is it so wrong that people want to express themselves through their clothes? Hey guess what, science created nuclear bombs so lets all turn and attack science for that one thing!
Pathetic.
Lol, sorry about the rant!
