I listened to this and came out grumpy and sad about Karl Lagerfeld... And then, this morning, I noticed that a really cute shirt is recently bought had his lable on it! Noooo!

I truly had no idea that this man existed.

I looked at the pictures and he totally looks like a Bond villain, it’s true.

I haven't listened to the podcast, although I shall, but I did read this piece from Rebecca Harrington, and I gotta say I feel kinda sorry for the guy:

Karl Lagerfeld’s mother told Karl he had “exceptionally ugly” hands and that he should never smoke. She also told him that his stories were “so boring” because he was six and that even though he was almost blind “children with glasses are the ugliest thing in the world,” so she never bought him glasses. She was a great influence on Lagerfeld’s life.

Yeesh.
