This is a particularly good example of HP's "invent a story" vocation.

Searching Getty Images is every so much cheaper and easier than investigative journalism.

Yes, he was and for his age, (whichever one it happens to be) dare I say he still is?
I don't get why people seem so shocked that he looked young in the 1970's.
I am even more puzzled when they don't think he looks like the same person. I've read people saying that a lot, and I have to wonder if they ever pay any attention to their older relatives.
I seriously wonder.
I am quite certain I'll look a bit different in 35 or 40 years than I do right now, but I presume I'll still look like me. Just older.
Well, he looks like he did then, only older.

A laundry list of examples to prove that you do not need to be physically attractive yourself to be on of the people who tells everyone else what is attractive.

Seriously. Aside from the Rodarte gals and Donatella, the worst thing is young Mr. Kors/Anderson's hairdo. The only "unattractive" thing about some is that they are no longer in the bloom of youth. But youth is overrated. Yes, I said it.
But having said that, isn't Alexander Wang just totally adorable?

Donatella Verscai (sp?) should have her picture in all doctor's offices as a warning to women (and men) to not have cosmetic surgery. I mean with all the money she has, she probably had the best doctors available to do that to her. And folks, you aren't going to get doctors who are that good.

Don't do it.

I've never heard of any of these people.
08:32 AM on 06/12/2010
If you've never heard of them, maybe you don't watch Bravo or any award shows where people mention "who" they're wearing? :)

Not to mention rappers who shout out their names as if the mere mention gives the impression that they're living large.

Oddly enough, the "HH" in my name stands for "HipHop". But the Hip-Hop I listen to isn't some commercialized trash like the rappers who mention these people as if to say they're living large. : -)

I don't know jack about fashion designers and even I know who Armani is...
Perhaps you've lived under a rock for the past twenty or so years.

Never heard of most of these. Guess that's why I'm wearing sweats and a t-shirt right now.

1990 Donatella looks like an 80s hair metal rocker. Any.
