Paris Fashion Week SS10: The BSD Gets Metaphysical, Earns Mild Support, Negligible Interest Amongst Audience

Paris Fashion Week, baby!

If you're as excited as the BSD, you're going to need to preemptively call the POlice cause it's about to pop off mutha fucka! Grab onto your booties; The BSD is saucy and ready to talk the mystical language of, how do you say? Ah yes. The Sexy.

The next post is going to be all about ass, the BSD's addiction to it, DIQG, the BSD's houseboat, a life less ordinary, "The Cockpit", the BSD's yacht "The SS The George Takei", mild derivatives, substance abuse, sexual deviancy, pedantic lepidoptery, after hour Caligulan orgies, ruthlessness, extravagance, mirth, nunneries, off-shore deep sea fishing, portfolio and asset management, a categorical review of The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene, and fits of inner brilliance, but for now, you're going to have to settle for PFW (pronounced as if a word) and realize that you too, can have an uncommon affinity for things of Beauty.

Come, join my world. Live with the Whimsey, embrace the Artifice, stick your tongue naughtily into the Nethers of Pleasure, shove your Earthly energies forcefully into the comprehension of Heuristics, fall victim to the BSD's obscene Charm and Gentle Affectations, learn to Love Random capitaliZation.

For, "if sensuality be our only happiness we ought to envy the brutes, for instinct is a surer, shorter, safer guide to such happiness than reason." [Charles Caleb Colton]

Have a drink. Make it a double. Let's get sexy.

VIKTOR & ROLF

My head might explode. This collection wet more panties than the BSD.

Just kidding- Not that many women saw it.

MARGIELA

When the show started, single spotlight, gorgeous creatures lingering in the musty darkness of just-off-runway, I stood and, weeping silently, applauded loudly from the Front Row, eagerly expressing my heartfelt appreciation for Martin's theatrics. Beautiful clothes in a beautiful presentation. Later, the BSD meticulously placed his heartfelt appreciation into the musty darkness of a young well-wisher, and then repeated as necessary, until emotional exhaustion.

LANVIN

Let the BSD be the first to say this: I am wildly attracted to the girls on the runway this season. Let that be a comment on both the fashion and the current crop of lithe Venuses stalking the planks.

Speaking of stalking the planks, Mlle. Lezark needs to call me. 'Tis the strumpet's plague, to beguile many, and be beguiled by one. [3rd Earl of Shaftesbury]

BSD - 1, Non-sequiturs - 0.

GIVENCHY

Riccardo Tisci, though the obvious toast of arguably the past 3 seasons, continued his memorable run of form amongst rock & roll stylists, magazine editors, PR mavens, bold-facers, PYTs, and perhaps most importantly, the Fashion Establishment.

Not surprisingly and perhaps unremarkably, so did the BSD. Il puet vous satisfaire avec sa langue ou avec son andouiller. [The BSD]

GIAMBATTISTA VALLI

My favorite show of the week thus far. This is honestly very, very sexy in a very tender and sophisticated way. In its reference to turn of the century Montmartre and, slightly later, Montparnasse, Valli combines a classically Period symbiosis with modern sensuality. Magically, the clothes have the supple structural tendencies of contemporary technique and the allure and magnetism of something far lost brought near.

Give any one of these Valli achievements to DIQG and you would never see the BSD again, bound to an eternity of Apollonian servitude, salacious subjugation, prurient peonage, bawdy bondage, erogenous exquisiteness, intrepid, amphierotic physicality, voluntary, passionate voluptuousness. For none but the brave deserve the fair. [Dryden]

Varium et mutabile semper, Femina.
