The FiFi Report 080

W Magazine April:
With teen star Lindsay Lohan on the cover there is a great interview inside; she seems pretty together considering her father he a dirty rotten scoundrel. (‘He deserves nothing not even my respect’) on drugs: “ I’ve never tried cocaine, I’ve seen what it did to my father” . On Hollywood “with movies it’s really easy for a girl to dumb herself down or look ugly or be naked or be a lesbian or gain weight – those are the ones that win Oscars” (no work for dumb, ugly, fat lesbians?) Read that in the fashion world you can forget about the new round toe pumps, it’s a great psychic that is the ultimate accessory ( see quote de la quote). Read and love the Tuscan house of Domitilla and Mark Getty ( his Getty Images is worth $4 billion plus he has the Getty inheritance) then find out who were the breakthrough directors in this year’s Sundance. Plus there is a funny story on choosing the best fashion Obituary: 1. die under dramatic circumstances. (But make sure they are no movie stars with you : “Brad Pitt and 200 others killed in air crash” is not good ) 2. be mysterious about your exotic illness and 3. always makes sure your relatives have a flattering ( photo shopped) photo to send in. A must buy.
UK Conde Nast Traveller April :
If you are off to UK you will love to read about the 10 great country retreats. If you are off to Madrid then you will love to know the 5 great budget hotel there. (see globetrotter) , then read about the best restaurants in Paris, ( that’s THE best:: Pierre Gagnaire, Guy Savoy and Hiramatsu), and check out the chicest hotel in Cyprus, The Almyra ( see FiFi #49). Read about Miami: go to the newest store ‘Thomas Maier’, stay at The Raleigh, drink at the Spire bar, or be inspired to go to Chile and learn about geology.( no round toes there but check with your psychic)
US Elle April:
With Kiera Knitghtley and those silcon lips on the cover. Read the interview with her (“ if I was a wanker, I apologise” ) and her new movie with Adrien Brody; ‘The Jacket’ (produced by George Clooney and Stephen Soderbergh), then read about him too ( ‘I am the only American actor to win a Cesar but that was before the Iraq war”). There is an inspiring story about brilliant business woman including the 32yr old CEO of Travelocity and gossip Columnist Liz smith and her new book ‘Dishing’ ( it includes recipes). And the fashion? You want seerucker, mixed prints, shorts and snakeskin but maybe not the cigarette that Model Lou Douillon sucks on ( but she is Jane Birkin’s daughter after all).
