“Yep! Vienna trained architect Bernard Rudofsky became an intellectual celebrity. Although not household name, Rudofsky questioned every aspect of modernism (from architecture and museum installations to textiles and fashion)….The 1944 show “Are Clothes Modern?” that he curated at the Museum of Modern Art (in NYC) included shoes…. (Some of which he ridiculed for their unwearableness and others which he praised–were modeled after sandals from “antiquity”)….Soon after, Rudofsky founded “Bernardo Sandals” and by 1960 the fabulous and the one and only Jackie O (aka Former First Lady Jackie Kennedy) was said to own 16 colors of the same pair….
Rudofsky designed the American pavilion for the 1958 Worlds Fair in Brussels and after decamping to Japan he analyzed Japanese culture in “The Kimona Mind”…..Bernardo Sandals was relaunched in 2001….

We are not Tom Cruise’s boss–nor are we his judge, juror nor ex—plainor. We are his fans! Aren’t we? Why–does it pain the public so much to see Tom Cruise happy? Remember–he is grown and he ‘can’ legally do what he ‘wants’ to do. Anyway–Tom Cruise ‘is’ the last of a dying breed. And what ‘breed’ is that? Why–’real actors’ of course…actors who can ‘command the camera’….Signed, Renee Ashley Baker
View the Birthday Boy ’doin the worm’ (and he does a ‘mean snake’ too!):
Dateline–Italy. The “bride” wore white and underneath it all? Three thousand dollars worth of “La Bra” lingerie. The wedding took place at the fabulous and royal Odescalchi Castle (in Bracciano near Rome) which rents for a whopping $50,000 per week. The ever necessary paparazzi were given prime wedding viewing spots (costing a cool $1500 per spot)….
From this….
To this….
Quote: “Can somebody tell me what the hell he said?” — Renee Ashley Baker
Price: $6 billion dollars (the total box office gross of Tom Cruise’s movies)
Dateline New York–Little Suri on a “go see”? It seems that Little Suri (daughter of Tom & Katie Cruise) has taken New York City by storm. She is the ‘new face of Baby Gap’. Our sources tell us that while in New York Little Suri went on a “photo session” and that when lights and cameras were being ‘set up for her photo shoot’ she began “acting out” in grand model style. Sources at the photo session spotted Little Suri taking in a “white substance” through a straw (“Got Milk!”–said Suri). That she was dancing around to jiggly sounds that boomed loudly from the Sony stereo speakers (“The Wiggles!”–shouted Suri). Then, sources tell us, that “from all that acting” Little Suri just passed out cold (“Sleepy, Okay!” –yelled Suri, just before she conked out)….
Tsk, by the way, stands for Tom, Suri, Katie. And –Have ‘You’ Got Milk?
