I am sitting at work, and our computer system is down, so I am killing time reading and watching TV: FT and the other CTV fashion program hosted by the bland Glenn Baxter. At the moment, Jeanne Beker is interviewing Betsey Johnson, who at least has the decency to be honest about her extensive plastic surgery, (unlike, say, Sophia Loren) but is still quite ridiculous, with the cartwheels at 67, and all the forced fun and boisterousness of her shows. It looks like hard work having so much fun, especially for the poor models. Maybe I'm just being bitchy, and maybe the lightheartedness and lack of seriousness is a breath of fresh air for the models. Qui sait? Nicht ich. All I can do is speculate.
BTW, one thing that irks me: Baxter and the host of Fashion File, Adrian Mainella are unable to pronounce foreign names, which abound in the fashion industry. Azzedine Alaia, Versace, Lagerfeld, Gianfranco Ferre, Balenciaga, and those are just the easiest ones. If you host a TV show about fashion, you have to be able to get your mouth around odd-sounding names. No, the pronunciation needn't be perfect, in fact it shouldn't be, because that would sound weird, but I subscribe to Rusell Smith's suggestion that it be about halfway corrrect, at mid-point between
English and whatever the language in question.

--Just read on Wikipedia that Fashion File has been cancelled by CBC.
