There was a young woman from a far and distant land called Poland
Whose knowledge of fashion was wide like the empire of the Romans
Laughing freely, kind as she was fair
With sunshine locks of gold in her hair
The positive, Polish lash then unleashed her magic sword
To vanquish her nemesis the witch J.Krupa and her horde
Not afraid to address sexism, racism and ignorance as other members look the other way
She didn't bite her tongue and always has worthwhile and often humorous things to say
She knew more of pop culture than most of the known world
Yet the only shows she watched were Chelsea and Gossip Girl
She told me not to let anyone start this thread and I complied on that day
But seeing as how it was still on my BZ bucket list, I had to do it anyway
Of course, you as well as any member know I could write an essay
so I'll try to get to the point. The truth is that along with Baron and Jennks, you're one of the three who've always had my back here and lets just say that if I could only save five BZ members from a burning building, you'd be saved
. Despite that, even if I were just on the outside looking in, I could still see that BZ
was the better for having you. As a result, it was becoming more difficult to see so many lesser mortals with threads
. Even if you don't use it, it can just be your own personal plaque
or something. Either way, congrats
!

Congratulations Layla.
I enjoyed my conversations with you on this forum. Even if you decide to pursue different interests, I will remember you. Your thread is long, long overdue ![]()

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving member of the BZ crew. Congratulations Layla, when I heard you had your own thread I did this...


We might not speak much but I do know you have been quite the contributory member and friend too many here.
Congrats on the new digs

Hey there, congrats on the thread!
I don't recall talking to you that much in a while...we used to talk though right? Like we did about gossip girl, blake lively, or something a while ago ![]()
Anywho I See gemma ward in your avi
This supposid comback shes doing better happen soon! ![]()

Thanks! And yes, we did! But now that Gossip Girl is over
we need to find a new topic to talk about
ugh, the show got so bad in the last seasons but it still has a special place in my heart.
Is she really?
haven't read anything on her for ages
or is she just getting more acting gigs? You know she's in the new "Great Gatsby", right? I don't think her part is big. A year ago I didn't want to watch the film (still haven't seen Mia Farrow/Robert Redford original
) but with all these news on the soundtrack and the lovely Gemma I think I want to see it!! ![]()

Yeah GossipGirl kinda lost me towards the end...really just watched it then for the fashion and blake and leighton
But agreed, its got a special place!
haha yeah a comeback plan was reported like a month ago
And still nothing! It was actually reported that she was gonna do Vogue Australia, but then had to drop out last second
Hopefully Gatsby will get her name out there again though..speaking of gatsby I can't wait to see it either! Honestly I'm kinda Gatbsy crazy
The trailers just keep getting better and better! Leonardo Dicaprio, Carey mulligan, LANA DEL REY AND BEYONCE?? I can't handle it ![]()
Have you seen the latest trailer? This one has alot of the new music in it, and the trailer is fantastic ![]()

It got bad but at the beginning it was soo good! Pretty people, trnedy clothes, awesome music... and the topics discussed were good.
Oh no
well, those Vogue Australia covers were supposed to be given to the biggest Australian models, right? I saw Miranda's, guess Elle McPherson/Catherine McNeil/Abbey Lee were supposed to get ones as well? Anyway, I don't see why she would drop out, as it was supposed to be a honorary thing, I guess.
I liked Gemma in "Black Baloon", so glad I DVRed it back when it was aired here on HBO. And it also got Toni Collette, sucha fantastic actress.
I've seen this post before and it had the video, now it doesn't?
then again... shameful/shameless confession-my computer doesn't have sound for some time now, I basically used to have it without sound so I rarely ever watch any videos
Definitely not a youtube junkie ![]()

Since it's my thread
I saw the link saying Miranda Kerr got fired from VS. Is it true? Here's the link:
a) is Miranda friends with celebitchy's writer? Because I can't at some of her statements
Does Miranda have a “difficult reputation” or does Victoria’s Secret just hate that she’s A) not blonde, B) 30 years old, C) a mother, and D) expensive compared to the younger, newer models who will work cheaper? It could be a combination of all of those things, really. It could be all of that plus Miranda doesn’t do much for the brand, although if we’re going to make that argument, I doubt Alessandra Ambrosio does much for the brand. Or Erin Heatherton. Or Lily Aldridge.
Ugh Randa we can see through your publicist
all of these 4 points are invalid
b) looking at the comments section, I didn't know she was fired from David Jones?
c) I NEED TO READ THAT PROFILE ON HER FROM NYMAG! Give me the link!
d) I wonder if Miranda really hooked up with Bieber and DiCaprio.

^I'm a huge dicaprio fan, follow him religously, and honestly, I do think they hooked up. There was a bunch of twitter sightings of them together at clubs weeks leading up to it, then a Lainey Gossip Blinde Item came out that pretty much confirmed it...also confirmed the Bieber thing too. I don't know if I'm the only one, but I always found miranda and orlandos marriage, at least these past couple years, to be just for show ![]()
Anywho heres the blinde:
2 days and 20 years
She’s married and they have a child. And these days she’s much more visible -- all over -- than he is. There have been rumours, since they seem to be apart so often, that their relationship has been unstable. Though they’ve recently been seen together, and appear to be happy, he might not feel so secure if he were to find out who she’s sleeping with behind his back, and so indiscriminately.My sources confirm that there was a boy, a very young, very famous, pop boy with his own fragile love situation who she f-cked for sh-ts and giggles. Just 2 nights later, it was another very famous former pop boy (of sorts) 20 years older who, obviously, specifically targets her small demographic. One night only. Those would be her more famous indiscretions. But they say she’s been cheating all over the place and all the time

I don't acutally don't know if the shoot was for a cover or what. The article said she dropped out, but also claimed editors didn't think she was "vogue ready"
And never seen Black Baloon! Is that a movie? Worth a watch?
Oh and yeah I don't know where the vid went! It was there!
Anywho heres the new trailer with new music by Lana del rey and beyonce covering amy winehouse (
). Florence's song is amazing too. The film itself also just looks awesome ![]()

My picks for non-renewal among the veterans are 1. Lily Adridge 2. Adriana 3. Alessandra
Miranda was barely present for a long time, and interest in her must have declined over the years. (along with interest in Legolas...)

Well, I forgot that you like FP too
. That reminds me, one day I saw Joan in one of her least tasteful efforts (even by her standard) spreading someone's ashes in someone else's backyard and the neighbor came out and caught her I think
. I know of course that one was particularly bad taste but I'm ashamed to say I laughed uncontrollably for some reason
.

Vogue ready-they probably think Gemma's not skinny enough
I haven't seen any recent photos of hers, I remember the 'outrage' about her swimsuit pics, about a few months after Heath (Ledger) died? I don't think they were dating for a long time but to me it looks like that put such a toll on her and that's why we haven't seen her in the media for a looong time, plus she wanted to transition to acting anyway. She even played in a theatre.
The Black Balloon: http://www.imdb.com/...ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Gemma was so adorable in it!
Weird, there's no video again :|
EDIT cause I forgot to write about Miranda: I agree with you, I think I even discussed it with Jennka a long time ago-that Orlando always seemed a LOT more into Miranda than she was about him. Weird thing, I remember when I saw official first pictures of them at some event in Australia I thought: they'll definitely get married and about a year or so later it happened
anyway, didn't he propose to her 2 or 3 times and she never agreed? Then that shotgun wedding
I feel like Orlando is a guy who is incredibly happy with his life and so in love with Miranda that he'd stay with her even if she cheated with hundreds of guys... I'd be less surprised to see her fill in for a divorce. Actually no, scratch that, I don't think she will divorce him anytime soon-if only for image reasons and the fact she probably realises Orlando is a good dad material... as long as she can get some on the side
oh my, sorry, I don't even know her so who am I to judge?

My picks for non-renewal among the veterans are 1. Lily Adridge 2. Adriana 3. Alessandra
Miranda was barely present for a long time, and interest in her must have declined over the years. (along with interest in Legolas...)
I don't see Alessandra leaving anytime soon, she's never had much options in modelling besides VS, right? I mean, she had done high fashion modelling but wasn't known a lot from that. Adriana seems to have more options, but only if she started expanding her choices a la Heidi, but I don't see that coming. Let's be real, many people think Adriana=VS.
I don't follow VS that much, but I kept seeing posts where people pointed out that at every VS event, she seemed to promote herself&KORA more than the brand...

Well, I forgot that you like FP too

.
I don't watch it very often though ![]()
Did you hear about that comment she made about Heidi Klum's Oscars afterparty dress?
I know, one may feel bad laughing about something low taste but if it makes you happy at least for a moment, don't feel sorry! It's like laughing at people falling.
btw, Chelsea Lately was taken over by the Kardashians for one episode :| and I have no idea why I watched. What did I expect? The only thing I got from it is that Kris Jenner's voice seemed less high-pitched than in their reality shows. Also, Kourtney remains boring.

Oh my gosh, I copied and pasted the link
It disappeared! I'll try embedding it..
Working now?
