Dear Christy Turlington: Real Moms Don’t Wear Peep-Toe Boots. Unless Those Boots Arrive, Free, on Her Doorstep. Then We’ll Talk.
By on January 6, 2010 4 CommentsSo I opened my e-mail yesterday and found a message from Bally – shoe-maker and bag-purveyor to the very rich and sorta stylish – wishing me a Happy New Year (aw, thanks, guys!) and informing me that former supermodel and current uber-mom Christy Turlington is now pimping hawking modeling their wares and would I like [...]

The More Bad Moms Know: Revolver? I Hardly Know Her.
