Andre Leon Talley teaching Houston how a professional cunt cunts

[quote]“The Glamour and Romance of Oscar de la Renta” will make its debut at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, this weekend — but we’re told its main curator, former Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley, made the exhibit a nightmare for staffers, demanding that nobody look him in the eye and even making one ­employee cry. “André is being a diva to everyone,” says one incensed source. “He has been at odds with curator Cindi Strauss, telling her what to do — while he rides around the entire museum in his motorized wheelchair. It got so bad he even made her cry . . . yes, CRY.”

[quote]The source continued, “He instructed the museum staff not to look him in the eyes. Even the people working alongside him . . . The funny thing was that most people at the museum had no clue who he was.”

Andre Leon Talley is 6'7" and well over 400 pounds, so it's actually kind of "sassy" when he wears that red Rockefeller Christmas Tree skirt! It's his Bernice Clifton tribute and a fine way to reuse the fabric!

I've lived in NYC most of my life and can tell you there is a very noticeable population of entitled freaks here who figure if they are inexplicably nutty and awful long enough, people will believe they have some sort of authenticity, or importance.

Who in the hell would want to look at him in the eye? I would be so horrified at his body I wouldn't be able to do anything but look away in disgust.

And what's hilarious is that he and Anna Wintour are supposed to be this big fashion experts. They always look like shit. I can't believe Anna has the nerve to walk out of her house everyday. She is head to toe hideous. And for some insane reason she insists on wearing sleeveless or short sleeved dresses. Her arms look twice as old as Madonna's hands. Has Ms Wintour never seen a picture of herself?

R126, none of the Bushes are donors to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. I checked their donor lists.

R123, these celebutards imagine they are being stared at and start attempting to control the effrontery of mere staff making them feel put upon or uncomfortable. In Andy's case, however, it's a matter of preening self-regard and his idea of diva behavior appropriate to the situation.

He has twice worked in St. Louis recently and apparently made no such demands. Likely it has to do with trying to put down the white people in Houston who he wants to shame, as opposed to the black people in St. Louis with whom he worked who he wanted to "uplift" as God's gift to poor African Americans in fashion and the arts.

He's a total crap cascade.

R123, people who don't want others to look them in the eye are people who are socially retarded and looking someone in the eye terrifies them. I've been told by someone in the business it's the very reason many celebrities wear dark sunglasses all the time. They are too intimidated by others to look them in the eye.

I never understood the "don't look me in the eye" thing until I lived in Japan. People stared at me all the time. They don't even realize they are staring and they don't mean to be rude, but it gets to you after a while. Sunglasses made me feel better.

I think that famous people go through something similar to that. Sometimes you just want to be anonymous and blend in with others. Obviously that is not what is going on here. Just sayin'.

What's behind the massive weight? Sure, he's older so there's weight gain, but he's been big or a long time. If he was just "normal" overweight, it would be understandable. But, the black Hindenburg thing has to have a bigger cause. Is he a total glutton? If so, why?

Does he think yards of flowing taffeta somehow make him look more svelte? If anything it exaggerates his size in addition to looking clownish. I don't get it. Maybe he thinks it makes him look regal in a medieval european way?

How else can we discuss his weight? Has anyone considered comparing him to various planets and astral bodies yet?

by Anonymousreply 147October 9, 2017 6:04 PM

I doubt it's any of that, R146. I bet he knows that because of his weight he's never going to look super fashionable or really just good. But, he's in the fashion world, so he wants to make an impression, and the only way to get attention at that size is to go full on over-the-top. I would imagine he knows it looks crazy and is under no impression that it makes him look slimmer or regal.

JUICY!

Even though there were multiple buckets of fried chicken, finger sandwiches, parfaits and sweet iced tea, the one thing I didn’t see Talley do much in Savannah was eat. When there were group meals, he sometimes chose to remain in his cottage gnawing on a cheese wheel. At one point, he mentioned offhandedly that he will eat half the refrigerator in the middle of the night, sobbing when the food runs out. We gingerly broached the topic of his gargantuan weight gain in recent years. He is carrying more than the 455 pounds he had in 2004—“Of course,” he says, “yes, yes”—when Wintour organized an intervention with Oscar de la Renta, which failed. But eventually he enrolled in a fitness program at Duke University, bringing his weight down to 395 and appearing as a success story on Oprah.

Oh, my. R181 (etc.) does love her straw-man arguments, doesn't she?

As for annoyance, a "specific group," "same group posting," and such nonsense, she shows she's just a twat using the old lazy tactics without a thought.

Too bad there's really nothing to say about the thread topic, except such a self-centered, name-dropping, dishonest, asocial, dull monstrosity offers a fine target for fat jokes. Simple as that. At least Madame Talley is worth that much. Unlike R161, the silly cow. Although we see she does enjoy laughing at a father who killed his child, so we know where her fine taste is.

Think about it R191: when someone makes eye contact with you in real life, you feel obliged to smile or react in some way in order to appear friendly or just pleasant. Famous people don't want to have tp do that all day long with every stranger they come into contact with.

It is no that they don't want you to look at THEM. They don't want to have to acknowledge YOU in any way.
