Elle.com reports that architect-artist dude Ron Arad and Notify artistic director Maurice Ohayon joined together to create a space-age handbag for my favorite model, LindaE.

The bag doesn’t interest me nearly as much as the “four-hand” factoid from the story:
“What happens when supermodel Linda Evangelista—who at her height in the ’80s notoriously had a ‘four hand’ rule on set (meaning only two people could touch her at a time)—tells her friends they absolutely should design a handbag?”
From now on, I’m instituting a “one-finger” rule. Only one finger can be on me at a time. And it better be your index finger. Don’t be getting sassy and flipping me the bird.
This post is dedicated to gorgeous blogger Tavi, who demanded that someone update a blog to entertain her. Tavi is going to heaven because she tweeted people to vote for me for Best Fashion Blog of 2008. Have you voted lately?
Do it James!
I voted for you, and I CANNOT BELIEVE that people are voting for Fug. The nerve!
don’t know how much i like the bag but you gotta love james brown
Haha! “a four hand rule”!! I love it!
Dr. Zibbs referred me your way, and I’m so impressed by your jewelry!
Linda was really in a position to call the shots! That’s a very zippy bag.
(my w.v. was “bralogg.” I’m not sure what that has to do with anything, but I thought I’d mention it.)
Linda doesn’t age, what’s her secret?
James brown foever HA!!
The bag is intersting, but were not quite in the space age yet.
Hey Wendy.. thanks for the stop by.. I have added you the the blog = ) You have some fabulous finds on there… the J. Crew Ring.. is calling my name… I think they just built one here in Tokyo = )
I’ve had a “six-hand” rule for years.
I have been voting every day… those damn Fugs!!!
HAHAHAHA!!! Four-hand! I love it am totally going to use it on my diva days. AKA the second week of the month, if-you-know-whaa-i-meeaaaan!
Okay…I’m not so sure about the flash bag, but I still love Linda (I want her hair!), and you got to love the big James B.! Hope you get some votes from my site too.
i don’t know about that bag…
I’ve always got at least four hands on me – the two I own, and the two sticky little paws belonging to my toddler. I am no supermodel, goes to show!
That bag is a bit fug though.
I’m starting a knuckle rule. And it better be only their left. =)
Ha – you legend x
4 hand rule? wow! i guess she did those things because she could…
oh, Linda, still #1! good diva update, and what a smart girl, a brilliant stand to maintain absolute power during the madness of the fashion show backstage.
