Read MoreAfter Kanye's Emmett Till Disgrace, Swedish Politician Uses Kanye West's Music to Attack Anne Frank
/
Until today, November 1, 2022, the worst news I’ve heard recently about the young Jewish hero Anne Frank was a book about her being swept into the book-banning insanity underway in Texas and across America.
Today’s news is a constellation of Anne Frank, Kanye West and far-right Swedish politician Rebecka Fallenkvist.
The Swede posted on Instagram about Anne Frank’s journal, with Kanye West’s ‘Praise God’ Music to accompany Fallenkvist’s words.
“Fifty pages in and so far Anne Frank has only struck me as debauched, the horniness itself,” Sweden Democrat (SD) Rebecka Fallenkvist wrote on Instagram.
Read MoreDid Kanye West Just Get Played for Parler? Candice Owens' Husband George Farmer Is CEO
/
AOC was asleep at the wheel on the subject of Candice Owen and her husband George Farmer, who she married in 2019, being the power couple behind Parler.
Republican mega donor Rebekah Mercer would take issue with who is in charge of Parler, as she controls two of three board seats. To be honest, the Mercer heiress hasn’t gotten much of a return on her investment in uber-right-wing media investments: Parler, Breitbart News and Cambridge Analytica.
The Parler app got banned in the aftermath of America’s January 6 insurrection because it was a haven for communication and calls to war among those who want to overthrow the US government. Apple, and other social media, banned Parler after the Jan. 6 riot.
The Washington Post broke down the whole story on Tuesday, with Candace Owens and Kanye West’s provocative friendship, explained. A subscriber to WaPo, I missed it because it was in the Style section. Although I’m sure the headline was a small one on the front page.

Kanye West Channels Emmett Till, Using Till’s Face of Pulp as His Own Victimization
/
Kanye West compared himself to Emmett Till tonight, leaving me stunned.
Spending a Sunday evening with friends, of course we were talking politics. It was at the end of the evening in which I was in a fabulous mood — in spite of the dinner table conversation — that I learned that Kanye West had the hubris to compare himself to Emmett Till.
How dare you!!!! How could you steal his movie and make yourself the center of the headlines. How calculating of you, Kanye. How egotistical. How pathetic. You have been on an arrogant, self-destructive bender for weeks now, and with your back up against the wall, you have the nerve to compare yourself with the brutal lynching of Emmett Till.
We want to make Kanye insane. But this is a rational, vicious man who co-opts God to condone his actions. Kanye West is very dangerous.
Emmett Till and I share a birthday, and he lives VERY close to me, always in my psyche.

/
Adut’s five-year rise from a South Sudan, Australian Refugee to REAL supermodel status is well known by now. Being a Global Ambassador for Estee Lauder, announced in June 2021, goes a long way in wearing the real-deal supernodel crown.
Adut’s career was launched when she closed the Saint Laurent spring/summer 2018 show in Paris. Many young people in fashion — or outsiders with lots to say — think the industry only turned towards models of color post-George Floyd and the rise of BLM.
This is not true. Demands for change and the topic of racism in the fashion industry was much discussed and acted upon before the brutal murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis.

Manifesto Magazine #88 October 2022 focuses on a select group of designer collections and Bottega Veneta is one of them.

London-based photographer Georgia Devy Smith [IG] captures the duo in a new again Bottega Veneta described by Creative Director Matthieu Blazy in this way:
Read More“The idea was to bring back energy, a silhouette that really expressed motion, because Bottega is a bag company, so you go somewhere, you don’t stay home. This collection basically is a journey,” he continued. “There’s many characters, they all have places to go, they feel quite free.”
