Quotes: It’s Gaga and her Kooky quotes..

We can’t get enough of Lady Gaga and her kooky quotes: ‘ The self-invented, manufactured, accidental, totally on-purpose New York creation of the world’s biggest pop star’. From via 
“Lady Gaga is my name. If you know me, and you call me Stefani, you don’t really know me at all.”
“I’ve had grand pianos that are more expensive than, like, a year’s worth of rent.”

“I don’t like LA . The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I’m from New York. I will kill to get what I need.”

“I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend.”

“What I’ve discovered is that in art, as in music, there’s a lot of truth-and then there’s a lie. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It’s the moment that the audience falls in love.”

“A year from now, I could go away, and people might say, ‘Gosh, what ever happened to that girl who never wore pants?’ But how wonderfully memorable 30 years from now, when they say, ‘Do you remember Gaga and her bubbles?’ Because, for a minute, everybody in that room will forget every sad, painful thing in their lives, and they’ll just live in my bubble world.”

“Pop stars should not eat.”

“I don’t know if this is too much for your magazine, but I can actually mentally give myself an org**sm.”

“She’s sleeping.” ["She" referring to Gaga's hair-bow.]

Bonds Track Pants

What’s comfortable and fashionable? Track pants.  Sloppy, grey marle, drop crutch track pants.
But you knew that because I told you to buy them way back in . Bless.
They are still looking cool and I love these ones from Bonds.
I must repeat: it’s all about wearing them with heels and a seriously sharp jacket a la Christina Centera here at . Or try a track pant with a faux fur vest a la Taylor Tomasi Hill in . You need to counteract the slouch with some tailoring and glamour.
But it’s Easter and there is something very appealing about throwing on track pants, flinging yourself on the couch and gobbling down chocolate Easter Eggs ( while you watch The September Issue for the 100th time.)
So you may kick off your heels.
Chocolate is very difficult to get off the Balenciagas.

Haigh’s Chocolate Easter Eggs

Reasons why you want chocolate:

Because Chocolate contains tryptophan which is used to produce the neurotransmitter, serotonin. High levels of serotonin stimulate the secretion of endorphins, and produce feelings of elation. Also found in Prada.

Because Chocolate contains phenylethylamine, a neurotransmitter that promotes feelings of attraction, excitement, and giddiness.  It works by stimulating the brain’s pleasure centers and reaches peak levels during… shopping.

Because Chocolate contains flavinoids, which thin the blood, helping to prevent clotting. It doesn’t prevent thinning of thighs but you will live longer.

Because Chocolate contains magnesium, which is known to ease symptoms of PMT.  Eat chocolate as you shop and you will never get cranky.

Because it’s Easter and you must run like a maniac in your Manolos straight to Haigh’s Chocolates for the very best Easter Eggs. Divine!

Solar (Hardcover) by Ian McEwan
Michael Beard is in his late fifties; bald, overweight, unprepossessing Nobel prize-winning physicist whose best work is behind him. Trading on his reputation, he speaks for enormous fees, lends his name to the letterheads of renowned scientific institutions and half-heartedly heads a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. An inveterate philanderer, Beard finds his fifth marriage floundering. But this time it is different: she is having the affair, and he is still in love with her. When Beard’s professional and personal worlds are entwined in a freak accident, an opportunity presents itself, a chance for Beard to extricate himself from his marital mess, reinvigorate his career and very possibly save the world from environmental disaster.
With a global scope, SOLAR is a comedy dealing directly with the crises of today. A story of one man’s ambitions and self-deceptions, it is a startling and stylish new work from one of the world’s great writers.

“A comedy every bit as brilliant as its title might suggest … Blazing with imaginative and intellectual energy, Solar is a stellar performance.”
-Sunday Times

“A stunningly accomplished work, possibly [McEwan's] best yet.”Financial Times

in Solar, he shows a side to himself as a writer a puckishness, a broadness of humour, an extravagance of style - that we haven’t seen before.”The Spectator

Italian Touch (Hardcover) by Donata Sartorio

“Italian Touch presents a rich sampling of Italian life, with interviews and photographs, compiled by editor Donata Sartorio, that profile the effortlessly chic lifestyle embodied by its more than 100 notable subjects.” ~Vanity Fair
The Italian Touch is a collaboration between Donatella Sartorio, an Italian fashion and style journalist, and TOD’s, one of the most important Italian companies producing luxury leather goods. It includes more than 100 Italians of different ages photographed with their families, friends, children and an assortment of dogs in splendid historic palaces and the countryside, representing the Italian way of living and a certain “style” that goes beyond fashion and time.
They are all very elegant in jeans and moccasins, all “testament” to a current but timeless style that is undeniably Italian and famous throughout the world. This is a book for enthusiasts of fashion and style, but it is also for those who love period interiors, city palaces, castles in the hills, and Italian landscapes, all ancient but alive and vibrant as ever. ” Chic!

French Toasted Hot Cross Buns with Figs …adulterated from

It’s breakfast time. George Clooney is hungry.
You have a few left over hot cross buns and it’s a sin to throw them out. (Not when there are starving people in the world).
You see some lovely juicy figs begging to be eaten.
Dip the buns into the cream and eggs and cook a la French toast.
Top with Figs. Voila!

You need for 2 hungry teenagers, 4 fashionista (who have not been hungry since the 90’s) or 15 models:

80ml (1/3 cup) thin cream
2 eggs, lightly whisked
2 tsp caster sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
40g butter
4 day-old hot cross buns, thickly sliced
4 fresh figs, quartered
Maple syrup, to serve

  • Stay wrapped in Louis Vuitton PJ’S.
  • Pull on Chanel Moon Boots.
  • Try not to pour a wine. Put the bottle back.
  • Put on coffee.
  • Find the old Hot cross buns.
  • Place the cream, eggs, sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl and whisk with a chic little fork until well combined.
  • Melt half the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat until foaming. That’s the butter not you over George Cloooney.
  • Dip half the bun slices, 1 slice at a time, into the egg mixture, give it a little shake, and toss in the hot pan.
  • Cook for 1 minute each side or until as golden brown as the new Prada bag.
  • Let them rest on a plate, while you repeat dipping the bun slices in the goo.
  • Toss the divine buttery French toast on chic serving plates.
  • Then throw on some figs and drizzle nonchalantly with maple syrup or honey.
  • Serve immediately with coffee.
  • Happy Easter !
