Jane was well-known for playing with her androgyny. Therefore the bag named after her plays this card. From David Beckham to Marc Jacobs, who owns it in at least 5 different colors, Hermès Birkin bag is more and more sought-after by high-end fashionistos, especially the ‘Haut-a-courroies’ version.

Jane est connue pour avoir su jouer de son style androgyne. Aussi le sac à qui elle donna son nom pour en avoir inspiré la création use-t-il aujourd’hui de la même carte. De David Beckham à Marc Jacobs, qui le possède dans pas moins de 5 couleurs, le sac « Birkin » d’Hermès est de plus en plus recherché par les fashionistos en vue, en particulier dans sa version « Haut-à-courroies ».

You may use it as a city bag or a beach tote in Saint-Barth – I would not try the later option personally – as long as you agree to wait for almost two years from the order to the delivery of your new It-ems. Five years for a special edition.

Que vous souhaitiez l’arborer en ville ou bien l’utiliser comme cabas de plage à Saint Barth – personnellement j’éviterais – l’essentiel est d’être prêt à attendre près de deux ans à compter de la commande de votre nouveau compagnon pour en prendre enfin possession, et pas moins de cinq ans s’il s’agit d’une édition spéciale.

It is Christmas time. This is why I had to launch in a sumptuous way the ‘IT-EMS’ category, that is my endless wishlist. Thinking about it, endless might not be the most accurate adjective. I think that I will reach the ultimate fashion climax when I finally afford – or receive as a gift – an alligator ‘Haut-a-courroies’ Birkin bag. As the violine one Pharrell Williams owns and exhibits proudly on the cover of « Pages ».

En cette période de fêtes, je me devais d’inaugurer avec faste la rubrique IT-EMS, mon interminable « wishlist ». Interminable, je me comprends. J’aurai probablement atteint je ne sais trop quel sommet lorsque j’aurai pu acquérir – ou me serai vu offrir -, un Birkin Haut-à-courroies en alligator. A l’image de celui, de couleur violine, dont Pharrell Williams est l’heureux propriétaire, l’exhibant fièrement jusqu’en une du magazine « Pages ».

Given the extravagant amount of money requested -$67.000- I may choose another color. For sure, some shade of… blue !

Au regard du prix demandé, environ 50.000 euros, j’imagine être en droit d’opter pour une autre teinte. Je vous le donne en mille : une nuance… de bleu !

Merry Christmas to all of you !

To whom it may concern.

I am writing to you in regards to your recently vacated position of Editor-in-chief of the French – the only one that matters – edition of Vogue. After 10 years of service, I do understand that beloved Carine Roitfeld will be deeply missed. However I truly believe my qualification will perfectly match your requirements.

I started as a model, just like she did. « Not as a super-model, just a model », she declared when she was appointed in 2001. Modesty is a quality Carine and I both share.

She is believed to be the child of ‘porno-chic’, as she worked for Tom Ford and shaked up Missoni. Please find attached my experience in the porn industry.

As indicated in the adverstisement, Vogue Paris has established itself as one of the most iconic magazines in the world, with a tremendous influence in the fields of fashion and photography. My blog, TheBlueEyedBoy, had more than 1200 readers in only its first week of existence. Proportionnaly, I did better in my current position than Carine Roitfeld did in 10 years for the French edition of Vogue.

Last but not least, I have a worldly sense of initiative as well as a strong command of the English language, both oral and written. Launching an American edition of Vogue would, for instance, be a great idea.

Attached is my resume. It comes in the form of my blog.

Yours faithfully,

TheBlueEyedBoy
