Lindsey Salerno is a 19 year old tornado of terrific correctness. Her mix of Snow White meets Bettie Page cat-eyed looks are simply captivating and her obliviousness to them refreshing. Besides being a muse and some-time model she works for a record company, is learning the guitar and serves up an awesome mix of girly proportions tinged with a slightly dark but fierce side.

Dear Shaded Viewers,

The July issue of Italian Vogue is a special Black Issue with a collector Barbie supplement that pays tribute to Barbie and was conceived by Franca Sozzani. In addition to dedicating the issue to black models that have been successful in fashion and art, Franca wanted to include images of Barbie. The first black Barbie was introduced in 1967 as Black Francie, then she had her friends Christie and Julia and ultimately the first "Black Barbie" was introduced in 1980. The new line of So In Style Barbie dolls is designed for little girls but are very popular with collectors. It will be available in a limited edition launch of 2,000 sold exclusively in quality toy shops in Italy and available in the U.S. and on www.BarbieCollector.com and in the UK early next year.

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I wanted to know why Jeremy Scott decided to present his collection in London instead of Paris this season. "I'm launching a pop up store in London with my Adidas line in September and as it is the 25th anniversary of London Fashion Week, it seemed like a great time to go there and help celebrate." said Jerremy Scott.

I had a great visit with Alistair Carr tonight. I interviewed him for Chapter 2 of Mr. Pearl. While there I was thinking that Alistair would be a great subject for Sang Bleu. I'll make a post there tomorrow.
