Hurrah! — the perfect passe-temps for a Friday afternoon: the London Evening Standard features an engaging article titled "A menage a trois with Julia Restoin Roitfeld and Robert Konjic" and it is hot! I absolutely love the way the reporter captured the couple's conversational rhythm, très très adorable. They disclose in detail the story of how they met and discuss their future — babies! Here are my favorite bits:
Julia says, "Last year he [Robert] called me on our anniversary, saying, 'Look inside your wardrobe.' " He'd hidden a present in it before he left — a stingray leather jewellery box. "He was lucky I hadn't already found it, because I organise my wardrobe weekly."
Robert asks, "What was the advice for posing that your mum used to give you and your brother? Chin down…"
"Angry eyes, big lips!" says Julia. "When I was shooting the Black Orchid commercial for Tom Ford, they suggested I should blow a little through my lips, like Kate Moss does."
Julia reflects, "Carine would frequently ask the family for editorial advice. 'She would come home with two or three collages and, it's funny, we would always agree with her and want the less commercial choice when perhaps people at the magazine would want the other one.'"
R: Shall we go to the Armani party tonight?
J: Shall we stay home and watch Glee?
