I had time to read only one quick thing this morning; I chose the Oprah piece, and laughed all the way through it. Now that is some fine humor. Thanks, Miu.

"Mimi Rogers can't stop smiling..." OMG! How very funny!
Rachel says:
I love the Oprah piece!! :) LOL
It does seem a bit extreme that she's horrified that she's not given special privileges. Give me a break. Don't make it a race issue. They had other rich people to cater that evening and couldn't accomodate you. Deal with it and move on. Why couldn't a peon have been sent when the STORE WAS OPEN?!?

I'm sure Hermes has allowed the rich n famous alike to enter their store after-hours when the whim allowed them. They didn't recognize Oprah (cus if they did we wouldn't be hearing about this) and so she couldn't get in. Sure, I'm jealous she gets special treatment, but guess what, SHE'S FUCKING OPRAH! We don't hear about Paris or Katie Couric or other celebrity women (Paris I'm not so sure is a woman, but that debate's for another time) getting barred from other luxury stores because they forget the world didn't revolve around them. Plus, Oprah's as powerful as some world leaders; so you sure as hell don't wanna get on her bad side! I can't wait to see what Oprah's got in store for them--you don't mess with Oprah. I almost feel sorry for the snobbish bastards.

that's a dumb excuse, first it was "oh we were doing a photo shoot" now it's "Oh dear, we so didn't recognize Oprah, besides everyone knows that black weomen in paris walk around with a huge entourage!! whoopsie!"

my guess is a broken china plate. Although it looks....interesting.
Lorna says:
I just thought I'd add my two cents worth to the Oprah debate: Oprah is not known at all in France. She is not famous by any means, no one would recognize her there. To the point where very little has been said about the incident in the French press. Don't get me wrong I was disturbed by Hermes' comment that "They had had problems with North Africans that day". I still find the whole thing hilarious.
