Alexandra Grant. More lies? Did she forget she married another person 10 years ago... & is still married... UPDATE...
I had a dream about Alexandra Grant. (Which in it's self is disturbing) This is what I saw in the dream. I SAW... Alexandra Grant is married. Not to Keanu Reeves. T he marriage took place around 9/10 years ago on the East coast of America. (Not New York City) I Saw She was in a very close relationship with this "Person" I See she was paid to do this... The person she is married to is of dubious character... This person has been "Away" for quite a while... (If you know what I mean) This person is threatening to return.. She will... To expose the marriage & other criminal behaviors they both had a part in. As I write this. Keanu Reeves & his team. Do not know of this. Alexandra, knows is still legally married. Has her head in the sand. Hoping it will go away... STAY TUNED... MORE TO COME...

can you do a post on the canadian musician Michael Buble? A lot of people are wondering if his wife is being physically abused by him?
She should drink some corona beer.
I agree. Meryl Streep played Anna Wintour really well in the movie The Devil Wears Prada.
This Andre Leon Talley journalist, that's written a book on Anna Wintour, has disputed a few minor aspects of that movie.
But they are only small things...like he claims 'People did not swear like that at American Vogue.'
And that 'all Anna Wintour's clothes are dry cleaned every day. And her assistant picks them up delivers them each morning to her house, with flowers'.
Yes flowers, WTF?
But he doesn't dispute the rest. Of Anna Wintour's sadistic despotic behaviour.
And her assistants are equally as abusive I think.
And is demonstrated very well in The Devil Wears Prada.
I discovered this to be absolutely true when reading a biography. The biography of journalist, Kate Betts, called My Paris Dream. She was an American fashion journalist in the 80's in Paris.
She went for an interview a few years after, at American Vogue, when Anna Wintour was running it.
When she arrived for the interview...Anna Wintour's assistant stopped Kate Betts when she arrived at the correct floor.
And said to her 'no no no you won't do. Sorry Anna won't see you'.
Kate Betts thought it was really strange because she was invited, highly qualified and dressed to the perfection of French chic.
And these girls in the late 80's at American Vogue then .... were, in Kate Bett's veiw, still dressing like college girls.
Anyway Kate Betts claims she met Anna Wintour in a hallway when she went downstairs to leave.
Anna Wintour took one look at her.
And asked 'why are you leaving, I haven't interviewed you yet?'
Kate Betts got the job at American Vogue.
So it not just Ann Wintour.
The whole Vogue establishment is a bitch factory.
With an over abundance of career psychopaths.
This Andre Leon Talley who's written this scathing book on Anna Wintour, is apparently from North Carolina originally. And was probably just as ambitious as all of them I think.
And the reason Anna Wintour sacked him?
Was he became very overweight. And he's 70.
The facts are....As we know...The fashion industry is a shallow world. Full of people who don't live in the real world. Because they don't like the real world.
And this guy, Andre Leon Talley is just a victim of that ruthless superficial industry.
What surprises me. Is how he's surprised.
He'd have had to have known after many decades working with Anna Wintour. That she's a nasty bitch-faced cow.
Incapable of human warmth.
Well, very little of it.
I was surprised to learn Anna Wintour is actually English.
Her father was the Editor of the London Evening Standard newspaper. So she had a free pass into high end journalism anyway.
But in her early career, females as journalists was not common.
So who did she sleep with to get to the top?
Well she started with a novelist called Piers Paul Read
Then famous Gossip columnist, Nigel Dempster
Then when married. She had an affair with investor, Shelby Bryan.
Maybe her ruthless behaviour is actually the reason Vogue survived though.
It was a dying magazine until she started to run it.
I wonder if she's about to experience the same thing. As Karma.
And be sacked. For being too old, for Vogue.
Erm mer gerd... I keep hearing Madonna singing
'Beauty's where you find it
Not just where you pump and grind it
Vogue vogue vogue vogue
I wonder if Madonna wrote this song cause she got her face on a Vogue cover....and saw herself as another...
Greta Garbo. And Monroe
Dietrich and DiMaggio
Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean
On the cover of a magazine'
Anyway, Andre leon Talley the journalist at the centre of this book, The Chiffon Trenches, on Anna Bitch-face Wintour.
Well he claims Madonna offered him a blow job when he turned up from Vogue to interview her.
He claims he declined.
Well for a start he's gay.
But I'm windering if he's lying about that claim about Madonna.
It doesn't seem her style.
And anyway she already had the cover of Vogue.
She didn't need to 'work' for it.
But Madonna has been on Vogue's cover many times.
In 1989 she was the first celebrity to appear on the cover of Vogue.
Oh and another reason to despise Anna Wintour.
As if we needed another reason.
Well she used to promote the use of fur.
Probably still does. Cause the animal activists were demonstrating against her at New York Fashion Week in 2018.
See even the animals arn't safe from this fashion frump.
And also, the animal activists call her 'Fur Hag'.
Or is this just rumour?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8255427/Vogue-editor-Anna-Nuclear-Wintour-fallen-right-hand-man-Andre-Leon-Talley.html
I guess there's still a place for Vogue but I'm not so sure about Anna Iceberg.
I lived in New York in the 80's. I knew someone that collaborated with Madonna when she was just starting out. He told me some things and I heard some more stories about her extracurricular activities - that didn't really change after she made it big! So I'm gonna give Andre Leon Talley the benefit of a doubt on his Madonna story, Chick's Opinion!
I appreciate people who can turn it out appearance wise but I'm at the other end of the spectrum. I'm shabby and not too chic. I love hand me downs and wear stained, splattered, frayed and clothes with holes. I'm so old and changed now that the last time I perused a fashion magazine the photos looked like teens from outer space with wax lips. I think I'm just jealous though cause I have thin lips!
I thank you God - I have a job, a roof over my head and food in the fridge!
Win tour is Satan’s spawn.
Talley is from Durham, North Carolina. Durham was founded by black people & is (was) the home of Black Wall Street. If you like history you will love Durham.
Go while you can because it is being gentrified (taken over by white people).
Even Wikipedia implies she slept her way to the top:
“At the age of 15, she began dating well-connected older men. She was involved briefly with Piers Paul Read, then 24. In her later teens, she and gossip columnist Nigel Dempster became a fixture on the London club circuit.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Wintour
Given what you know. You are more than probably right. That Madonna offered a blow job to Andre Leon Talley the Vogue journalist.
I've only read one book on Madonna.
The one by her brother.
And despite the fact he loves her cause she's his sister.
He gets no love whatsoever in return from her.
Never did.
And he describes terrible behaviour by her.
Towards him. And other people.
Madonna is a tough little nut. And is very hostile.
But I think it's because she doesn't want to appear in any way vunerable.
And she had mega fame in the 80's and 90's and needed to protect herself from alot of people.
For many reasons.
The things she does on the side. You mention... For kicks.
Wouldn't surprise me.
But her brother claimed that Madonna's sexual deviancy is faked. For shock value.
And image.
He said even when she released her SEX book. She was not into sado sex. Or anything remotely like it.
And he thought it strange that she promoted herself as something she's not.
And advised her against it.
Even though working for her everyday for 2 decades ...perhaps he didn't know her quite as well as he thought.
He thinks she may have had a sexual relationship with her friend, Ingrid Casares.
Though I recall in the 90's, Madonna had quite a few high profile lesbian friends.
I'm not into glamour either by the way.
And could never afford to dress that way anyway.
And I refuse to buy Vogue. Or glamour magazines like that.
Because they actively promote anorexia in teenage girls and young women. And young men too.
And that disgusts me.
Seems Andre Leon Talley has moved back to Durham, North Carolina.
He went straight back there to live.
When Anna Wintour sacked him.
Plus I think he went back cause his mother was ill.
He used to interview everyone who was anyone at the Met Gala each year for Vogue. And misses it badly by the looks.
He really knows fashion.
And is scathing about the You Tube girl who replaced him for Met Gala interviews for Vogue.
He said she knows nothing about fashion.
Or fashion history.
But no doubt I think she knows someone who got her the job.
It's sad what's happened to this man Andre Leon Talley.
But sometines ....if you wont quit, retire, change course. When you need to. The universe makes it happen so you do.
By the look of him and how overweight he is. I think it's time he focused on his weight and health.
Not fashion.
He's gonna make alot of money I think with his book, The Chiffon Trenches.
And with tellin the truth abouth Anna Wintour.
Few people have the courage to expose her.
Cause she's so well connected with the Elite.
Perhaps she'll have him whacked for it.
I will check out Durham online. Sounds like a pretty. And interesting place.
What do you mean by its the Black Wall Street?
I think I know what you mean.
But not entirely sure.
Are fashion industry people predominately as shallow as they appear?
I was watching a video of British psychic Amanda Ellis today. She said that because so many high street fashion shops are going to disappear in the UK.... because of the economic collapse.
And people are not going to have money for new clothes as much. That Clothes Banks are going to become more of a thing.
They exist now. But she says they will become more common.
So I wonder how the luxury clothing lines are going to go. When people can no longer buy high end fashion as much as they used to.
We know that the extremely wealthy will never run out of money. For that crap.
But seems to me what that psychic is saying. Changes are coming.
The fashion industry is going to be very different from here on.
Will people cancel their subscription to Vogue?
No longer pay for an online edition of it.
Not buy ridiculously expensive make up anymore?
Not invest in even bothering to advertise it?
Possibly.
My advice...go dig a garden. Be in nature. And stop going to Nail Bars, breathing that poisonous acetone vapor for an hour.
And remember...bacteria congregates under fake nails. And nail lacquer. And fake people.
Id like to see fake nails and fake people banned.
For hygiene reasons.
Thank you for the laughs!

Andre Leon Talley reveals Karl Lagerfeld’s abusive childhood in memoir
https://pagesix.com/2020/04/25/andre-leon-talley-reveals-karl-lagerfelds-abusive-childhood-in-memoir/
Tony has been to North Carolina. I did recommend he visit the Triangle Area to avoid boredom because Raleigh & Durham are busy. The Triangle area are Durham, Orange, & Wake counties.
Information about Black Wall Street:
1) African-American leaders want to see new Black Wall Street rise in Durham
http://www.heraldsun.com/news/local/counties/durham-county/article213551989.html
2) The Past, Present And Future Of Durham’s Black Wall Street
While white mob violence squashed black entrepreneurship in Southern cities like Wilmington, North Carolina and Tulsa, Oklahoma, black business flourished in Durham in the first half of the 20th century, creating a vibrant African American middle class.
[PS - Black millionaires lived in Wilmington. But of course they got run out.]
https://www.wunc.org/post/past-present-and-future-durham-s-black-wall-street
3) Durham's Black-Led Entrepreneurship: Black Wall Street to Today
The very first African American bank and second-oldest minority-owned bank in the United States (Mechanics and Farmers Bank) was founded here. Durham was also home to North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance, which to this day remains the largest and oldest African American life insurance company. African Americans created the Hayti neighborhood and it developed into a thriving business and residential district that received national acclaim, including written praise from W. E. B. du Bois and Booker T. Washington. Around the same time, the desire to provide educational opportunities for blacks resulted in the founding of Dr. James E. Shepard's National Religious Training School and Chautauqua, which later became North Carolina Central University (NCCU).

4) Black Wall Street (Durham, North Carolina)
Black Wall Street was the hub of African American businesses and financial services in Durham, North Carolina during the late 1800s and early 1900s. It is located on Parrish Street. It was home to Mechanics and Farmers Bank and North Carolina Mutual.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Wall_Street_(Durham,_North_Carolina)
5) Durham's "Black Wall Street"
In the early twentieth century, Parrish Street in Durham, North Carolina, was the hub of African American business activity. This four-block district was known as “Black Wall Street,” a reference to the district of New York City that is home to the New York Stock Exchange and the nation’s great financial firms. Although other cities had similar districts, Durham’s was one of the most vital, and was nationally known. Parrish Street bordered the Hayti community, Durham’s main African American residential district, and the two districts together served as the center of black life in Durham.
Elsewhere in North Carolina, in the depths of the Jim Crow era, race relations were as bad as they ever had been. But Durham’s black businessmen thrived with the tolerance, if not the active support, of their white counterparts.
In 1906, the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, the nation’s largest black-owned insurance company, moved its headquarters to Parrish Street. It was soon joined by the Mechanics and Farmers Bank, and the founder of North Carolina Mutual also invested in real estate and textiles. National leaders W. E. B. DuBois and Booker T. Washington both visited the city, in 1912 and 1910, respectively, and praised black entrepreneurship and the tolerance of whites.
In the 1960s, urban renewal wiped out much of Hayti and Durham’s black business community, but by that time, Parrish Street’s heyday had passed.

Blind Items Revealed #1 - Sunday April 26, 2030
https://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2020/04/blind-items-revealed-1_26.html
Niemen Marcus & The Gap are filing for bankruptcy. That’s how you know we’re in trouble.
People are buying sewing machines so they can make their own masks. It’s not hard to make your own clothes if you have the proper training & patience.
Did you know haute couture fashion houses rarely turn a profit?
I did not kmow that.
So why do they continue to sell. Are their businesses some kind of money laundering?
It seems clear. That the early people of Durham have alot to be proud of.
And to think there would be plenty of African American families that survived persecution there. And thrived.
That still live there today.
It's amazing about Durham. When you look at it in historical context.
It's hardly surprising to me now. That Andre Leon Talley came from there.
He has achievment in his blood.
I hope his book reveals every sadistic behaviour of Anna Wintour. And puts her reputation finally in the spotlight.
Hell. She may even start to get sued. By people who have been emotionally traumatised by her abuse.
Bring it on.
I love 2nd hand clothes.
I bought the most beautiful dress at a 2nd hand clothes store in the country.
And. It was the only time I ever got a compliment on arrival from my stepdad. He was amazed.
The only other time I got a compliment for dressing well from him.
Was when I turned up in a black outfit. For a funeral we were attending.
My stepdad loves funerals. He thrives in the morbidity of it all.
And trust me.... as probably the same in your family TW...compliments are very rare.
Almost extinct.
The older generations in my view dressed far better than people today though.
And they didn't have the advantage of being able to buy what my mum used to call 'off the rack' clothes. Brought clothes.
Professionally sewn clothes.
Way too expensive.
My mum used to plan to make a dress for a Saturday night. And make it during the week.
I swear if I had to make my own clothes I'd have a meltdown.
I have done it once or twice. The 2nd dress I never finished. Cause I saw making clothes as a monumental bore.
Hope the Millenials bring back makin their own clothes. It would be wonderful to see.
Also, let's see if these Clothes Banks are gonna come into alot of use.
The ultimate clothes recycling.
And bye bye to fast fashion. And alot of High Stree chains.
By the way. I had heard Karl Lagerfeld was a full out weirdo.
He was famously secretive about his childhood.
And also told big lies. That he came from a much grander family than he actually did.
As for higher fashion... you know....even if I wanted to spend the money on buying a Polo brand T shirt.
I wouldn't do it. As I've discovered Polo is made in Cambodia or China.
I aint payin top dollar for something made in Cambodia.
Polo is one of Calvin Klein's brands.
You'd think it would be made in American right?
Not a f..kin chance.
Is that now, 47 year old black British Vogue editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful, is gonna safe from her claws. He was originally a Ghananian migrant to London...at 13.
And he's worked hard to get to the top. A model at 16, A fashion magazine editor at i-d magazine at 18.
Not bad.
I wonder if Anna Wintour ever tried to get him the sack at some stage.
Well he survived also, allowing Meghan Markle to take over a British Vogue edition. With her Forces For Change mumbo jumbo.
Which was not a success in reality.
I wonder if he'll allow her to do that again in British Vogue?
Maybe not.
As for money laundering, it wouldn't surprise me.
I lost a lot of weight & I'm glad I kept my old clothes. All of my Calvin Klein outfits came from Ross. I have to shop the clearance rack when I go to department stores. Stores like Walmart are hit or miss for me.
As for Lagerfeld, very strange. Talley spills the tea about him in his book. According to some of the excerpts I have read his mother tied him to his bed at night using leather strips because he would eat at night. She also told him he looked like an ugly d*ke.
Thanks for that ...I find busineses running at a loss and continuing to trade....completely baffling. But the financial side of things are usually a loss to my mind.
Maths isn't my strong point generally.
Yes. Younger generations have non idea how we grew up starved of ANY positive feed back.
None at all.
No compliments. Nothing.
If you won an award at school. And your parents attended.... all they'd say is....
'Yeah come on, lets go'
It was shocking.
So what's happened. Is our generations. Never seek positive feedback ....from anyone.
We acheive to please ourselves.
And are our own cheerleaders.
Unfortunately though alot of the older generations emerged into adulthood with very poor self esteem.
And chose very destructive partners.
Because they didn't value themselves enough.
Well I buy myself flowers. And value myself.
I don't sit around waiting for some dickhead to buy them for me.
To say I'm wonderful.
I reward myself with them. And when I buy them for myself I say..
'you deserve'
I've said before and I'll say it again...
If your husband/bf suddenly buys you flowers. 9 times out of 10 it means he's cheating.
That's a fact. An unfortunate one.
It's not always the case.
But very very common.
So gels.... it's far safer to buy yourself flowers.
At least you know what the intent behind them is.
I like your line of thinking. You must buy a lot of flowers!
Occasionally. But prefer to buy potted flowers.
Yes. Unfortunately alot of these bouquets of flowers...romantic ones.
Are just red roses for a blue lady.
Cause alot of women just get them after a huge fight.
I'm not knockin that practice.
Flowers can mend broken hearts.
I'm just suspicious about them when they turn up randomly.
Then my eyebrows start to lift.
And my 3rd eye opens.
I do not like to receive flowers from a man unless I am knee-deep and heart entwined with him.
Which is rare, sadly.
Flowers, especially roses, seem so, dam! I can't think of the word!
I would much rather receive a bunch of wildflowers from a man, than store-bought expensive roses.
Don't get me wrong, roses are lovely.
I associate red roses with death.
Any flower but roses. Mind you, I don't mind a rose. One rose. That doesn't seem to bother so much.
CAP Anonymous
I love flowers too but they don’t like me.
Cap Anonymous
I agree. The flower talk is deep. And I can understand why Red Roses set off a feeling of alarm in some women.
A feeling of obligation.
To be nice.
Or sleep with someone.
Don't men know. If we like you that much. We don't need the persuasion of flowers.
Not really.
But as for deep, isn't it funny how flowers always turn up at deep moments. Death, break ups, make ups, weddings, illness....all the serious things in life.
And I may sound like a misery guts. But receiving flowers from men is one of the most over rated experiences ever.
Especially if it comes with a gift of saucy lingerie. That's actually a let down.
When you are a younger woman, Hollywood movies brainwash you. That if a guy gives you flowers, you are suddenly a worthy girl.
No. You were worthy all the the time.
I hate how Hollywood teaches young women to cling to a Hollywood manufactured goal. That self belief and worthiness is bestowed on you, by men.
With flowers.
And a ring
No ring your lawyer. Ya gonna need him/her.
That line from the 2013 song Royals. By Lorde, saying,
' I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings, in the movies'
Is one of the more deeper lyrics in a modern popular song. And bang on right.
And anyway. If you are working class.
Big Diamonds are rarely seen.
And are not practical.
A roof over your head and food money is.
The fact is...Hollywood sells systemic sexism. And if you are not careful as a woman.
You'll buy it.
Nah...Like Big Fat weddings, owning a boat and sleeping with the same person for 40 years.
Alot of things in life and Hollywood movies are....
O-v-e-r r-a-t-e-d
