Trash and Vaudeville’s Jimmy Webb Talks ‘Real Deal’ Punk and Met Prep
As Vogue and the Costume Institute prepare to merge punk and high fashion at the Met next week, we couldn’t help but wonder what NYC’s real punks think of it all: How authentically punk can something organized by Vogue and The Met really be?
When you think of NYC’s still-living true punk institutions–pretty much only one place comes to mind (and has withstood the East Village/Bowery’s drastic transformation): Trash & Vaudeville, which opened on St. Mark’s Place 37 years as a one-stop shop for all things punk and rock & roll–from creepers to Dr. Martens to rock t-shirts to super tight jeans to studded leather vests. Everyone from The Ramones to Bruce Springsteen to Madonna to Iggy Pop to Debbie Harry was a regular–and many of them still are.
If there is a living embodiment of Trash & Vaudeville, it’s the store’s buyer, manager and (unofficial) face Jimmy Webb, who’s worked there since he was a 16-year-old runaway and has become a bit of a legend in his own right. Here’s what he had to say about the Costume Institute exhibit and punk today.

Those Anna Wintour Ambassadorship Rumors Will Never Die
We’ll admit it seems pretty obvious (especially given her lastest hire) that Anna Wintour will continue to have a hand in politics while fulfilling her role as Condé Nast’s artistic director and Vogue‘s editor in chief. But it seems certain that she’s not going to be an ambassador. At least not anytime soon.
Still, Friday’s news that Marc Lasry, frontrunner for the French ambassador post, was withdrawing after his involvement with a mob-run poker ring became public, has some speculating Wintour might be offered the gig.

Victoria’s Secret Says Former Model Kylie Bisutti Was No Angel
Yesterday, a New York Post tell-all from former model-turned-author Kylie Bisutti created quite the stir. In it, Bisutti denounces the lingerie giant and says she quit being a Victoria’s Secret Angel because she found God. She even wrote a whole book about it: I’m No Angel: From Victoria’s Secret Model to Role Model, which hits shelves soon–hence the press push.
The only thing is, Bisutti was never an Angel. In fact, Victoria Secret claims Bisutti is lying about a lot of things.
