Iris is freaking awesome and would love to see a documentary about her life. It would be on the level of Bill Cunningham’s

It’s hard to believe Karlie’s walk was a mess before because she is a beast on the runway! One of my favs as of late.
Chanel is all grown up I see… I like “Chanel Rising”. Saucy.
The best duos/companions always have a fun tale of how they met, Jack and Lazaro are no exception.
Iris is such an inspiration, and I secretly want her to be my third Me Ma lol. I can’t wait to see the full documentary.

I love Karlie Kloss. She can do no wrong.
Chanel looks like a slut. I don’t like whatever it is “Nowness” was trying to do.

GOODNESS MS.Chanel. I certainly hope the price was right for that show, but no shade she looked gorgeous & worked it!
