I'll have to confess -- I was joking. Sorry, that was an UScentric joke that even a lot of Americans wouldn't get. Anyway, that's how Diana Vreeland talked. All the time. About everything.
--- Quote ---Normally not a movie that would peak my interest, but now I'm intrigued. If it played here, that is. From what I've found, which is absolutely nothing, zero, zilch, this movie will not be shown here at all. It simply doesn't exist in my part of the world. Maybe one day on DVD or youtube.....

However, I did like it a lot. It's possible it would appeal most to someone who grew up reading Vogue, or at least being conscious of that particular culture. As a kid who pored over fashion magazines at 12 and 13, I remember a lot of those photos, and the models and photographers and actors and so on, and the mood of the times.
That said, even if you'd never heard of her, you'd probably find it interesting as a character study. She really was a larger-than-life figure, with a vastly open mind and upbeat outlook and original vision and amazing ability to not give a damn what anybody else thinks.

I totally didn't get it. But that's alright, I can laugh about myself. :laugh:
I did wonder though, it was so unlike you. But of course, that explains it. :)

I don't know if you could tell, but that face was made of crayons. Not drawn with crayons, but sculpted from full physical crayons in various shades. There's a lot of that genre on the "serious crayons" google images page.
