Raquel Zimmermann Sexes Up The A Train For Vogue Italia
For next month’s cover of Vogue Italia, Steven Meisel shot Raquel Zimmermann in a crowd of suits, slightly jostled but holding her own on what is meant to be the A-train. We think this is the only time the MTA has ever been stylish. The accompanying editorial is appropriately titled “The Commute” and features Zimmermann as various incarnations of NYC girls, all of whom we’ve seen on the subway before (albeit in much lower-priced versions of Zimmermann’s looks).
Check out the gallery to see the entire 14-page spread. What’s your favorite NYC style?
Herring and Wooden Shoes As Nail Polish Colors? Yep, OPI’s Spring 2012 Hues Are Inspired By the Netherlands
OPI’s spring colors are inspired by the Netherlands. The color range draws from the country’s famed tulip fields to, um, smoked fish and clogs. The colors are great but the names are even better. There’s “I Have a Herring Problem” (a stormy grey), “Wooden Shoe Like To Know” (a reddish hue, obvs), “Vampsterdam” (a deep grape), “A Roll in the Hague” (a bold pumpkin shade), “Peddle Faster Suzi” (it’s bicycle bubblegum pink), and the barely-there green “Thanks A WindMillion.”
Check out the individual images below. Which ones are you setting your sights on for February?

Missed Connection From the YSL Sample Sale: Whoever was wearing purple pants and had a bunch of shoes was apparently the “prettiest girl” at the YSL sample sale last week; the mystery woman inspired a missed connection that fills me with jealousy for this man who is both sentimental and a fan of YSL. {Racked}

10 Questions for America’s Next Top Model: All-Stars
1. Why is this show all of a sudden so concerned with branding girls who aren’t actual models yet? No one wants a perfume made by someone who was almost a Top Model.
2. How does Allison still manage to come off as an adorable little doll even after naming her perfume “Honey Blood”?
3. Is that Eva, the ex-Top Model, or Eve, the rapper?
4. Is Lisa drunk?
5. Is anyone else a little turned on by Nigel frolicking in a bathtub yelling “I’m smitten”?
