STOP THIS “CULTURAL APPROPRIATION” NONSENSE!

SHAME on Page Six for keeping those noxious words “cultural appropriation” in circulation. Kim Kardashian was accused of this absurd “crime” because she wore BRAIDS, and a few lame people online complained. First of all, let’s get this straight – IMITATION IS THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY! Exchange of cultural habits is a GOOD thing – it indicates that different cultures are appreciating each other. Few people are ignorant enough to think this is a bad thing, but Page Six (whom we usually admire) chose to create unnecessary negativity. White people in braids, black people in ponytails – it’s all good.

RICK OWENS WAS ONCE A SWEET CALIFORNIA GUY- WITH STYLE TO BURN

Speaking of designer Rick Owens, here’s an outfit from his latest collection. Owens started out in LA – we fondly remember back in the 90’s shopping at his first store on Las Palmas – a seedy side street in Hollywood. His clothing was part grunge, part goth – and quite expensive, but unbearably desirable! Rick’s French girlfriend/partner Michele Lamy opened the celebrity hotspot Le Deux across the street and she gave his business a huge boost. They ended up getting married, moving to Paris, and the rest is history. We still have one of his t-shirts from those days…

RICK OWENS AND MICHELE LAMY: A MEETING OF THE MINDS

We love the story of Rick Owens and Michele Lamy. In the 90’s, French-born Michele opened a superhot nightspot Le Deux Café in a parking lot in Hollywood. It so happened that young designer Rick Owens had a funky shop across the street where he sold his expensive but super-creative designs. (We never missed a sale.) They met, and it was a match made in heaven. Eccentric and impetuous, Michele became his muse and inspiration. They packed up and moved to Paris where she inspired him to become the important designer he is today. Anything goes with Michele – from gold plated teeth to tattooed fingers, while Rick is an all-black character. A modern couple.
