Headline of the week: “Suck It, Abstinence-Only Ed!” Though I imagine around the newsroom, the celebratory post was cheerfully known as, “Go Fuck Yourself, Abstinence-Only Ed!” (Kudos to the Obama administration for withdrawing funding from the right-wing fantasy, no thanks to brainwashed Bristol Palin.) [Broadsheet]

Look! Anna Wintour, clearing her head with a walk around the block, just like US! Endearing or disconcerting? Also, without a handbag, do you think Nuclear Wintour’s got a couple bucks stuffed in her bra? Just in case she craves a candy bar or something? [Jezebel]

Speaking of Anna, she’s got an answer for all of us who prefer models to actresses as cover subjects: Until models return to publicity whoring, they’re bad business. [fashionologie]

And while we’re on the subject of Anna Wintour — Met Ball, let’s discuss.
* Lesson #1: Don’t diss Alaia. When the French sexy-clothes designer learned only one photograph of his clothes would appear in the exhibition, he told every model slated to wear one of his dresses to the gala to not wear that dress. So he’s not a publicity ho either! Anyway, all the models — Naomi, Stephanie and Linda included — not only listened, but they did not attend. That is power. [On the Runway]
* Lesson #2: Models know Miuccia Prada sucks. Not a single one wore Prada or Miu Miu to the event. The absence of Balenciaga is harder to explain. [Fashionologie]
* Lesson #3: Don’t fuck with Jack McCullough at a fashion event where everybody is his friend. I’m talking to you, Kiefer Sutherland. Idiot. [TMZ]

Naomi Campbell is having such a sistah moment! First, the Alaia-Met Ball-loyalty thing (see above). Next, she had serious words for whitey-establishment designers kvetching about Michelle Obama’s small-label fashion choices: “Why should she concern herself with mainstream designers who don’t even put their clothes on women who look like her in ads or fashion shows?” Not that Narciso Rodriguez or Philip Lim are known for their diversity casting, but still. [Newsweek]

One last thing about all these people: MObama fave Alaia to launch a lingerie line. Sexy time in the White House! [ELLE]

Mmm, psych! Still not done with the Alaia clique. Stephanie Seymour says she’s trying to be “the bigger person” in her divorce from billionaire dwarf Peter Brandt. But Steph, don’t you know that you are the bigger person? [fashionologie]

Get the stupid socialites off Vanity Fair’s International Best Dressed List! In the spirit of “Obama-era transparency,” the dowdy roster is open to the masses. Don’t even think about checking boxes next to Katherine Ross, Angelina Jolie or Gwyneth Paltrow. And please consider writing in Gwen Stefani and Rachel Bilson. [Vanity Fair]

The world is learning to be Jewish and never plans on paying retail ever again, says fashion industry insiders. Conspiracy! [WSJ.]

Words I never thought I’d write: Shame on you, Oprah! The original O of Chicago has signed Jenny McCarthy — she of the dangerously irresponsible anti-vaccination campaign — to a deal likely leading to a talk show. If you think people won’t listen to the medical opinions of a former Playboy bunny, consider the influence of, say, Elisabeth Hasselback. [Slate]

Bachelorette-takeover of the Supreme Court! With a nominee list overpopulated by women who are single, divorced or childless, the conservative blogosphere is a little freaked (and meanly dissecting their non-skinniness). ‘Cause they might be lesbians! Or just … bitches who can’t deal with men. But as Dahlia Lithwick and Hanna Rosin point out, the truth is that women who get ahead in most hardball professions are frequently those without families, whether by choice or not. Seems a little small to punish them for playing by men’s rules just because they don’t live with any, doesn’t it? [Slate]
