KAROLINA KURKOVA
The butt you see before you belongs to Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova, shown here during the recent Sao Paulo Fashion Week. Let's be honest: It is less than perfect. Better than most women's, of course, but not up to swimsuit-model standards. So it is no surprise her physique was trashed by the Brazilian press. The furor raises all sorts of questions. Did the designer pick a flabby bottom on purpose? Is Kurkova "letting herself go" to make a point? And if your job is simply to look fit, shouldn't you? One lesson is clear: Ladies, always use a three-way mirror when trying on bathing suits.
PAMPLONA
The annual running of the bulls is on in Pamplona, Spain. You know how it goes: Guys try to impress girls by facing death as large horned animals race through the streets. Smart women, however, know the real keepers are the guys who watch from the sidelines. What kind of idiot tries to outrun a bull?
LAGERFELD LODGINGS
Is there nothing the man can't do? Karl Lagerfeld, the Chanel mastermind, will design 80 "haute homes" for Isla Moda, "the world's first dedicated fashion island," in Dubai, it was announced this week. In our dreams, the closets come fully stocked with Chanel (oh, and we can afford one).
