The editors at the glossy fashion magazines have had a hard time deciding how to approach the economic downturn. There have been some forced-sounding articles on shopping at Target and “in your closet.” It’s time to bring in Ice-T. My main pimp, looking stylish in a $100 suit, sounded off to New York Magazine about fashion and finance, and don’t tell me he didn’t hit the nail right on the head and in exactly the language I would use, too.
He told New York, “Unless you’re ultrarich, like to the point where you can’t go broke, motherfuckers are buckling and tightening their belts. I mean, me and my wife, I’m on a hot television show [Law & Order], but this year we’re like, let’s spend a little less, not splurge.”
Then he made me love him even more by dissing shabby chic runway looks. “This chick is walking down the runway, her stockings are torn, dragging her shit — it’s attitude, ” Ice-T told New York. “You walk in the room, motherfuckers be like, ‘Damn, who the fuck is that?’ It’s not about the name tags at the end of the day.”
Yeah! Enough of models dragging their shit on the runway. And “Motherfuckers be like, ‘Damn, who the fuck is that?’” is a cover line for the ages. Mark my words, Carine is going to be all over that.
Here’s a photo of Ice-T with his hot bitch and my personal idol, Coco.
Photo from Getty Images via New York MagazineI’m thankful that their fairytale romance seems to be going strong. If these two broke up, I’m not sure I could carry on.
even the rich can go broke nowaday. imagine all the rich peoople who invested in madoff…. they won’t be spending anytime soon. the owner of la brea bakery after selling the company for about 5 million invested in madoff fund. Well… she is pretty sad and angry, esp with 2 college age kids and near retirement.
Hahaha oh my god this is amazing! And I agree completely about those awkward “New Idea: Try shopping at Target!” articles in fashion magazines. I’m like, “Really, motherfuckers? Really?”
I swear if they break up, there is no hope for love in my life.
Too Funny but too true.
Ice T will always be one cool dude.
amazing. Ice T is LEGIT.
You know, in past posts I thought you were kidding about your Coco obsession. I’m ready to accept that you’re serious. I accept it and respect it Wendy.
I admire his inimitable cadence and eloquence.
those two well its a fairtytale to beat all motherfucking fairytales and I’ll be dragging my belt tightened straight from wardrobe shit on the tube today
Hi there-I read the Vogue article yesterday, very interesting read!! This couple are red hot!!
if ice t were the editor of vogue, i might start reading it agian. seriously.
Tell it like it is Ice-T *makes gangsta sign* Yo and Wendy are keeping it real man. (I believe he also added something about Coco always wanting to be nude and how gorgeous she is).
I never drag my shit anywhere, I have my flunkies drag it for me!
Those two are actually pretty cute.
Coolio is in UK reality show Celebrity Big Brother at the moment, and he keeps claiming that Ice T is like his homeboy-for-life BFF. Is this true?!
Ice-T is the man, and I can’t imagine him commenting on anything without a liberal sprinking of “motherfuckers”. Kind of like Samuel L. Jackson. I was cracking up watching a Star Wars movie with my kids, because I kept picturing Samuel’s Jedi talking about the “motherfucking force”. He’s a Jedi, motherfuckers!
Dang, if only I could look that good!
when i first read that, i thought you meant your HUSBAND was quoted saying “notherfuckers are buckling and tightening their belts.” HAAA! regardless, wendy b, you SHOULD be the editor of Vogue!!!!
I saw this article and immediately thought of you Wendy.
I don’t mind if Coco were the editor of Vogue and shaped all the modern fashion. It would be easier for me to buy clothing.
I feel you on Coco… but I have a soft spot in my heart for Carmen Electra…. surely you could find a place on the payroll for her too!
Mymilkglassheart, accessories editor! She’s achieved a lot with those boobies.
It’s a deal… I’ll have her people call Coco’s people. I think I’m going to REALLY like this new Vogue!
Excuse me but I don’t know what who coco is. what does she do? I guess I’m asking a wrong question here. Why is she famous? I guess Ice T is a rapper? Oh god… I don’t really know any of these people but hey Vogue certainly could do with some fresh faces for sure! LLOL
I'm so glad you had that picture at the end because the whole way through I was thinking, wtf why is Mr T being interviewed, when was he on Law & Order?! What is the world coming to!?
And then I saw the picture and re-read and realised it was Ice T. Thank fuck for that.
Ahaha. That is just so hilarious.
if coco and iceT broke up, there’s no hope for any of us!
Lol! I sat next to them at the O’hare airport a few months ago and was shocked, SHOCKED to discover that she wears glasses in real life and that they have a teenage son! Motherfucking Normal! No shit dragging anywhere!
Emily, now I heart them even more!
I think if Ice-T ran Vogue, Grace Coddington would have free reign to do what she does best. And Ice-T would finally put models back on the covers, after CoCo did a few.
I saw a preview of their show, and they are amazing.
I watch SVU, love Ice-T but thankfully, you introduced me (and everyone) to CoCo.
