Ahh, Best Laid Plans…
I stood up on Sunday, literally after writing my last post, and felt a shooting pain in my back. This happened to me one before in my mid-20s with no explanation and again i have no clue what triggered it. Since Sunday I have been flat on my back, moving only out off extreme necessity. Happy Anniversary to me!
I had planned to finish editing my NYE manni pics after having a drink. Clearly that didnt happen so i wanted to update you all so you dont think I disappeared. Btw, Im typing this on my tablet so please excuse any errors. I have appointments with a doctor and chiropractor tomorrow so lets hope I can get some relief asap. Yes, Im going to both because I want to cover my bets.
In the meantime Ive been tearing through my Kindle library and if youre at all interested in celebrity or Hollywood I suggest you check out Rob Lowes autobiography. Its smart, interesting and seems unreal. The man gives new meaning to destiny and chance encounter. It doesnt hurt that hes one of my longest-running celebs crushes, aside from Christian Bale.
Ill keep you posted on how it ask goes. Keep you fingers crossed.
Kanye West’s Clothing Line Confirmed
From The Cut:
Louise Wilson, a professor at British fashion school Central St. Martins, has confirmed reports that Kanye West is working on a womenswear label with British designer Louise Goldin. Wilson herself isn’t involved, contrary to previous rumors, although she admits to chatting with him before about fashion stuff. Reports British Vogue:
The high Low
chic management Twenty-two year-old Brisbane-ite Angus Low may prove extra popular on the international circuit, once any runway colleagues suffering from back pain twig that he doubles as a physio. Low graduated last year from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy Studies and was awarded the Deans Commendation for academic excellence and has been working full-time at a private Brisbane hospital. Modelling part-time for the past two years, prior to June 2011, the biggest name on his modelling CV was the Mercedes-Benz Brisbane Fashion Festival. Enter the Spring/Summer 2012 menswear season in Milan and Paris and Low can now add shows for Lanvin, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Costume National and Raf Simons. And we can add his name to a bulging Aussie male model pack that is headed up by Andrej Pejic, Tom Bull, Jordan Coulter and Jack Vanderhart. Although all this transpired under the publicity radar back home, evidently Low was a major hit because two months ago, his Brisbane mother agency Dallys tells frockwriter, he shot Lanvin’s SS12 menswear campaign in New York with Steven Meisel, two other male models – and a bunch of snakes. Then last month in Paris, he shot Lanvins SS12 eyewear campaign with Stéphane Gallois. Low has just given up his day job to pursue modelling full-time.
Founded in 1950 by June Dally Watkins, Dallys Model Management claims to be the oldest model agency in the southern hemisphere.
Dallys was the first agency to sign Catherine McNeil and Nicole Pollard, among many others and repped Miranda Kerr from the age of 13-18, before she moved to Sydney and signed with Chic Management (which also reps Low, McNeil and Pollard).
