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?

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.)

Skye says
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.
