Ecoutez: Anna Wintour on the Mic?

Who knew that Anna Wintour, Andre Leon Talley, Marc Jacobs,and Isaac Mizrahi had skills on the mic? They are said to have spoken parts on the new Diddy Dirty Money Album, Last Train To Paris.
Talley explains:
Inspired by his addiction to style and the fashion worlds from New York to Paris, Diddy’s new album, Last Train to Paris (to be released December 14), is a brilliant fusion of stream of consciousness and beats that bring to mind the broken cadences of avant-garde jazz. During Fashion Week last year, he sent out the call via e-mail and voice mail to high-fashion friends to come to his studio to participate in the record. I was somewhere doing what I usually do—previewing a collection or sitting around on the fourth floor of Manolo Blahnik’s midtown shoe emporium—when I received the invitation. Rushing to his studio, I thought about what I would say on the album, which inspired his February 2010 Vogue fashion shoot with Natalia Vodianova, photographed by Annie Leibovitz and styled by Grace Coddington, in which he appeared with the swagger and elegance of Cary Grant in a gorgeous shawl-collared camel double-breasted coat by Tom Ford.
Talley ended up doing a reading by James Baldwin “and Diddy respected it enough to leave it intact.” You can click on the first track at Vogue.com to hear that. Then Diddy comes on talking about how he “never knew love could feel like this.” I am super excited to press play on this album hopefully it's conceptual value won’t be a lost cause.

Regardez: PUMA

So a few months ago in addition to the other side projects that I have going on,I started working as a personal shopper at the Puma Store in Charleston. I love the fact that so many people worldwide know the brand. If you don't know about Puma then I would say that you are in the dark and really missing out. But since I began working I have learned so much about the company as a whole. They have done tons of fantastic collaborations with designers like Jil Sander, Hussein Chalayan, Sadia Rafique,Mihara Yasuhiro, and the late Alexander Mcqueen just to name a few.
 To be honest working with them is kind of like a dream because they give me plenty of free swag. Since I can't give everyone my clothes I can extend this special offer to you no matter where you are you can use this discount code and get 40% everything you buy. I urge you to take advantage of this because some of the pieces from the Black Label Collections can set you back a few coins but with this you can save and spend. I don't think it gets much better than that and with the holidays creeping up we all could us it. So Happy Spending and your welcome in advanced.
