Babies

Since the last couture show- in which I showed not a single black piece. I was quite proud of myself, you know. Anyway, it's proved to be quite a hit with the public, and I've been inundated with requests for the silver tights I showed. Yesterday morning I woke up to find 35 babies, all dressed in quilted white jumpsuits at my doorstep. On each of them was a note: "In payment for one pair of silver tights" (or something similar). In essence, these babies were being sacrificed for Chanel. Understandable. People have tried to do this before- I've had beautiful young virgins delivered upon my desk, unicorns, first borns- that sort of thing. Who wouldn't want to sacrifice their child upon the alter of Chanel?

Yet what am I to do with 35 babies? I have no use for your children, mothers. What am I going to do? Eat them? Please- that would be cannibalism, which I believe is illegal in France and frowned upon by society. Anyway, what's more important than that is that eating a child would mean eating quite a few calories- they're very fattening, I'm told.
It's the same problem with the young beautiful virgins- they're very nice to look at, but they can't model, can't sew, and obviously eating them is rather fattening too. They're useless! I ended up throwing them back into the cliched fantasy world from which they came.

So. I suppose this is a personal appeal from I, Karl Lagerfeld: Please do not send me your babies, sacrificing humans is very last century- actually, it's even before that. It's simply not within the now. It's not modern. Nor is your first born (too Jesus Christ Superstar- fashion is not a musical!), your unicorn, your cat, your beautiful young virgin, et al. Your wallets will do just fine. Money never goes out of style. Last week I passed by a student communist party- from one of the universities, I suppose. They were selling food to fundraise for their revolution. The anarchists next door were doing the same. There was even a line for the anarchist's food-stand.

Uh oh, I just sent my baby to you with the hope that you'd send me a pastel dress. Damn.

I hear they taste like chicken...
maybe if you take of the skin, like with chicken they will not be so fattening.

you can sing them a lillaby :" baby love, my baby love / I need you, oh how I need you / But all you do is treat me bad / Break my heart and leave me sad / Tell me, what did I do wrong ..."

Babies in exchange for silver tights by Karl Lagerfeld. Simply genius, I should of thought of that though I'm only 11 practically a baby (well not really, I'm at that awkward stage now). Cannibalism, hmmm not to sure about thT, THOUGH i've heard the forearm is the best bit.
*I'm sorry if this comment sounded a bit gory. I have no limits including in fashion, well I have what I have and wear what I wear.

Sound delusional, but flattering.

I would send you anything in exchange for those tights. unfortunately I do not have a baby nor do I have a virgin on hand, and i sacrifice my unicorns rather sparingly.

i do have a grandmother, though, who knits very nice jumpers. perhaps we can make a trade?

I did notice the absence of black. Are you sick God? or is it just a really big change with Chanel these days?
