I did not recognise Joan Didion from that photo, think its wonderful they've opted for her and no doubt she had a say too in whether she did it.<br />Funnily enough she's known as the quintessential Calfiornia and i have yet to read her.About Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-76188654077460575102015-01-23T19:48:57.962+00:002015-01-23T19:48:57.962+00:00I know!

"but I cock my snoot at the fashion industry for reducing these brilliant human beings to mere statements about an aspirational lifestyle. No one reduces Joan Didion on my watch, y’hear?" I very much doubt that Didion, if she is as wonderful and intelligent as everyone says, would allow anyone to reduce her. She is not a fool. Her appearance for Celine would have been every bit as well considered as her writing, I would say. She had something to say and this is the way she chose to say it, this time.
