I Want To Be A Roitfeld

My beau just crafted his first post verbally (and unbeknownst to him!). Looking over my shoulder at these photos of Carine Roitfeld and company he said, "Who does she think she is, Clint Eastwood?!" I covet the pinstriped cape, Wild West meets Wall Street, what a wrap. I know a lot of naysayers don't see the charm of the hat but I predict that this look as a whole indicates a growing trend, le nouveau western.

Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them doggies rollin'
Rawhide!

The lyrics to Rawhide are funny enough to print a bit more here. Twould be très drôle if someone (read Alexa Chung) were to remix this as a dance hit. Replete with real whip snaps, bien sûr.

Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them doggies rollin'
Rawhide!

Rain and wind and weather
Hell bent for leather...

Keep movin' movin' movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them doggies movin'
Rawhide!

Don't try to understand them
Just rope, throw, and brand them
Soon we'll be living high and wide
My heart's calculating
My true love will be waiting
Be waiting at the end of my ride

Move 'em on (head 'em up)
Head 'em up (move 'em on)
Move 'em on (head 'em up)
Rawhide!

Cut 'em out (ride 'em in)
Ride 'em in (cut 'em out)
Cut 'em out (ride 'em in)

Rawhide!

Yah!
