fashion-incubator.com and MIAUW shop in Amsterdam & Vincent Gallo on WGSN today…

Dear Shaded Viewers,

A friend of mine, Sally Beers, sent me a link to her friend’s pattern making blog http://www.fashion-incubator.com/mt/. Designers and design students might find it very useful. I’m adding it to my links for life.

Take care,

Diane

We were only in Amsterdam for two days and did not have time to visit the new shop of BABY magazine which is called MIAUW, if you are living in or visiting Amsterdam you might want to pass by:

Now this is one of the weirdest stories we’ve heard in a while. We’ve always assumed that VINCENT GALLO is a kind of mysterious character but this really is unexpected! An internet site that calls itself “the official website for Vincent Gallo merchandise” is offering the controversial filmmaker’s sperm for sale for $1million. VGMerchandise.com includes a detailed agreement whereby prospective mothers can pay for Gallo to inseminate them by in vitro fertilization (IVF) or even naturally for an extra $500,000 – a fee it alleges he will waive if he deems the woman attractive enough. The site details the actor/director’s physical attributes, explaining: “There are no known genetic deformities in his ancestry and no history of congenital diseases. If you have seen The Brown Bunny you know the potential size of the genitals if it’s a boy (eight inches if he’s like his father).” It also recommends his sharp features would “blend well with a softer, more subtly featured female.” And it claims that “Mr. Gallo maintains the right to refuse sale of his sperm to those of extremely dark complexions.” Is this beyond weird or what?

My question is, is this for real?
