Another day, another Guinness...
...but when that particular scion of the brewing and banking dynasty is Daphne - then there is nothing or nobody who can even come close!
"I just am who I am. And then when people label me eccentric or different, I'm kind of astonished because I think, 'This is completely normal. This is just how I am, it's how I've always been.'" "If I think about it too much, I can't get dressed." "I don't regard clothing as disposable, which is probably why I have so much of it!" "When I think my hair needs a bit of help, I just glue another bit onto my head." "I don't tell anybody else what to wear. I would never dream of it." "I don't do event dressing, because every day is an event." "Through art, you create your own world."
She certainly does that:
Many happy returns, Daphne Diana Joan Susanna Guinness (born 9th November 1967)
IDK...she looks a bit out there, like lady gaga...
ReplyDeleteWe do NOT mention the "G-word" around these parts. Daphne Guinness is an original. She never stole her looks nor her "persona" from anyone, unlike some... Jx
DeleteOne of the few truly campy and Avant garde! A couple years ago from a distance, in a club in NYC, I caught a brief glimpse of her once at a cabaret performance that Amanda had. Later while sitting together I spotted her with Amanda and Kyle Farmery. They made Amanda appear to look like a everyday person...which is no small feat.
ReplyDeleteNo mean feat, indeed.
DeleteOur Daphne knows everybody! [And they're all FOMJs - Friends Of Marc Jacobs. Of course.] Jx
Ah, so that's who influences Star Trek Discovery's Kelpian footwear fashions!
ReplyDeleteIs there a number I can call to have a light-up headress-wearing almost naked pink spaceman delivered, do you know?
I had to click through several photos from that link to see what you were on about - but, as suspected, Miss Guinness's fashions are indeed from another planet, it seems.
DeleteAd for the Dial-a-Spaceboy service, I would imagine there's an app somewhere for it. Like Just Eat or Uber.

Awesome
ReplyDeleteIn the truest sense of the word. Jx
DeleteHer completely Normal looks good on her.
ReplyDeleteDaphne Guinness transcended "normal" a long time ago! Jx
