Thankfully, most media understood that while Sen. McCain was the much-needed vote, he had two women colleagues who made his decision so critical because he could actually determine the final verdict on Obamacare. The Senator was in rare, eloquent form before returning to Arizona to commence his treatment for a seriously-advanced brain cancer. But it was Collins and Murkowski to declared their positions early on and never veered off course, in spite of numerous threats from Trump himself. Do any of those Republican white guys wonder the outcome might have been different if they had just taken Collins and Murkowski seriously, instead of treating them like pesky gnats. ~ Anne

Ethan James Green Flashes An Eccentric, Big Street-Cred Cast For Helmut Lang Fall 2017
In Spring 2017 Helmut Lang's CEO Andrew Rosen announced that the brand was in a state of transformation. Rosen did not tap a permanent creative director, turning instead to Isabella Burley, editor-in-chief of London's Dazed magazine, to become Helmut Lang's first editor-in-residence, with a focus on revamping the Helmut Lang digital footprint.
In advance of New York Fashion week -- more than a month out -- it's not clothes that will give us an eye to the forward vision of Helmut Lang. The Fall/Winter 2018 ad campaign marks the beginning of the brand's 'reset'.
Shot by the talented Ethan James Green, the cast of characters includes Alek Wek, former porn star Traci Lords, transgender model Dara, the artist and director Larry Clark, and Amariyanna Copeny -- aka Mari Copeny --, a 10-year-old better know as "Little Miss Flint," who has served as the face of the Flint, Michigan water crisis.
Isabelle Burley's first creative design pick Shayne Oliver, designer behind Hood by Air, created a special collection of ready-to-wear plus accessories, that will debut in September. Oliver, too, is in the ad campaign. Stylist Melanie Ward, a Helmut Lang 'original', appears with her brother and Anthony Ward. This fresh cast of characters strategy also includes Kembra Pfahler, Unlocking The Truth, Yoshi, Alanie Quinones, Aurel Haize, Grace Gee, Ian Isiah, Gogo Graham and Sohyun Jun.
The artistic result is a memorable cast of progressive thinkers, creative icons and a wide-range of talent that underscores not only brand identity in the digital age, but a much larger expansion of fashion's wings in the age of Trump.
When all the values held to be dear by the fashion industry are under assault, it's time for fashion to get street-smart and involved. Forget whether the season's color is pink or blue. The larger question is who are you as a brand? Are you with us or not? #RESIST! ~ Anne

Alt-Left Learns From Alt-Right, Demanding Dana Schutz Show In Boston Not Proceed AOC The Wokes
After all the controversy surrounding Dana Schutz's Emmett Till painting at the Whitney Museum this spring, you might be excited to attend the free talk scheduled at Boston's ICA on Sep 14, 2017 at 6pm. That is if the Dana Schutz show -- now open at The Institute of Contemporary Art Boston -- continues!
Following the Spring 2017 Dana Schutz controversy, the same activists now seek to shut down her Boston show entirely, making what normally is a right-wing argument justifying censorship. America's far-left-wing argues that Schutz does not deserve a show because she is harmful to America in some way. She affronts! Schutz doesn't deserve acclaim as an artist, even stronger now because of the Whitney controversy. The demands are positively chilling, as I outline in what is admittedly a visceral response to news that activists are trying to show down the Schutz show.
Note that in Feb. 2017 Freemuse moved the USA onto their list of Top 10 Censoring Countries in the world, putting us in the company of Russia, Pakistan and Iran. My comments were focused on censorship coming from the alt-right but the growing faction of the Sanders wing underscores the reality that demands for censorship also come from the far-left in this explosive demand that her entire show be closed. Chilling!

Glen Luchford Eyes Gucci's Fall/Winter 2017 Campaign As Intergalactic Sci-Fi Fantasy
On Tuesday, after a long tease of its upcoming Glen-Luchford-shot Fall 2017 campaign, humanoids, aliens, robots and earthlings came together. Gucci unveiled the short film #gucciandbeyond, a montage rich in 'Star Trek' references and “motifs from sci-fi of the 50s and 60s,” according to the description on Instagram. Gucci’s latest menswear and womenswear collections reinforce fall's fashion message. W Magazine writes:
The campaign pushes Gucci’s Fall 2017 collection farther into space than even its runway managed. Alessandro Michele showed his massive, co-ed presentation in a neon-lit plexiglass tunnel, soundtracked by Jóhann Jóhansson’s “The Rocket Builder,” a song that also featured prominently in the Netflix science fiction series The OA. In the Glen Luchford and Christopher Simmonds-devised video, Michele’s futuristic vision finally gets the set pieces it deserves. And, it turns out, aliens wear Gucci pretty well.

At her new L.A. mansion, Jolie reveals the tension between the two Angelinas and the reason her life will never be normal.
GOP Congressman Are Dueling Till Dead, Now Slapping Around Republican Women Senators Over Healthcare
It's been a tough week for Republican women senators. On Monday, Congressman Blake Farenhold of duck pjs fame was quoted on Texas radio as saying that if Republican senators Collins (Maine), Shelley Moore Capito (W. Va), and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) -- who voted against a Republican plan on ending Obamacare last week -- were men, he would challenge them to a duel.
Presumably Farenhold would be the last man standing, although after his jammies pic and sexual harassment lawsuit, coupled with his girth, AOC is not so sure.
{. . . }
In an interview with MSNBC's Ali Velshi, Representative Buddy Carter (R-GA) defended Donald Trump’s Wednesday morning Twitter attacks on Senator Lisa Murkowski saying that, “Somebody needs to go over to the Senate and snatch a knot in their ass.” (For those of you who are not fluent in Carter's Georgia boy male lingo, to “snatch a knot” means to smack someone).
