Karl on Karl: The Love Story
Manolo says, here from the New York Post is the amusing review of the Evil One’s movie, Lagerfeld Confidential.
‘THE few people I know who knew me as a child say I was like a male Shirley Temple – rather unbearable and spoiled,” muses designer Karl Lagerfeld in “Lagerfeld Confidential,” the Rodolphe Marconi documentary that makes its American premiere at Film Forum on Wednesday.
The film is a compilation of behind-the-scenes footage from Chanel and Lagerfeld’s eponymous line, as well as no-holds-barred interviews with the designer and vignettes from Lagerfeld’s childhood. It offers viewers an unprecedented level of access to Lagerfeld’s private life.
In the documentary, his home – stashed to the rafters with books, magazines, iPods, Chrome Hearts jewelry and dozens of rails of black clothes – is on open display. So are the private moments, like Karl walking around in his bathrobe and Karl without his sunglasses.
Beware, the Devil’s Eyes!
Of course, Shirley Temple went on to be the U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Ghana. Karl went on to be, uh, well… demon spawn.
I wonder if Karl, as a child, also did a tap routine with Bill “Bojangles” Robinson.
From the NY Post article:
…[W]hen an event planner phones to confirm details for an upcoming show, he tells her, “I can’t plan six months in advance; we might be dead by then.”
Come on Karl, everyone already knows you’re a member of the undead.
I believe his first quote says All We Need To Know About Karl.
La BellaDonna, she says Hola! to the Victor, and agrees with him; indeed, the Devil’s first quote, “… I was like a male Shirley Temple – rather unbearable and spoiled,” says all we need to know about him. According to what La BellaDonna has read, the Shirley Temple, she was a most professional and unspoiled youngster, for which the studios and her co-workers were most grateful, both to the young Shirley and her redoubtable mother, who made sure that the young actress knew all her lines, and brought her up in such a manner that she truly did merit an appointment as a U.S. Ambassador.
La BellaDonna, she prefers to quote the lolcats regarding the Karl, and merely says, “PLEH!”
