It’s an $11,000 watch made from dinosaur crap and with a wristband formed from poisonous black toad.

I don’t even know if this counts as Gothic.  The technical term for dinosaur shit is coprolite. Did anyone else know that?  And why is it so desirable? Which sign would wear this? It’s doing my head in.

If someone gave it to you as a gift, would you wear it?  Would a Cancerian get off on the dinosaur crap being so ancient? Like connecting with primordial (sort of) family?

I know for a fact that no Libra or Pisces would wear the thing. It looks like it has been exhumed. Shudder. And Aries likes official, simple and plain silver watches.  Taurus would loathe it along with Leo because it doesn’t look obviously expensive enough. Gemini?  Geminis actually like to know THE TIME, not gaze at dinosaur dung.  Virgo? Lol. It would make them ill.

Saggo if it told the time in enough different timezones and they could take it a 1000 kilometres under the ocean or into space. Capricorn…hard to imagine. Too gimmicky. Capricorns probably only wear watches they inherit or can claim that they did.

Aquarius often renders watches useless as their magnetic energy is quite high and so watches don’t run so well or they just bust.

This leaves us with Scorpio…hello? Or am I wrong and do you of whatever sign just madly covet the Dinosaur Crap Watch?

Would a real Taurus wear this truly Seventies retro Taurus-themed vest?

I think gimmicky vests like this are more the preserve of Gemini or Saggo…True Taureans are swathed in sensual fabrics and the only you’d notice from behind is their bottom. That’s not meant to be so rude as it sounds. But i don’t see Taurus as thinking about having anything decorative or a slogan on their back. Not even their own Bull symbol…Yes? No?

Yikes so Saturn is heading back into Virgo & we’re all going to be working a bit harder come April but could this St Virgo necklace of thorns (Virgos don’t do crowns – too ostentatious, obviously) catch on?

I think St Virgo would quite like it but want to trade in the gold for something less vulgar…a dignified silver?  Thoughts?

Okay, I wouldn’t wear this but somebody would and it’s vintage for just $85 USD.  Apparently the material is mega-rare, i’d love it as a dressing gown!

And this is like SUCH a Scorpionic look from ultra-Scorp Anna Wintour.  She’s prob pissed off at all the Virgoans Of Fashion. The girl next to her looks as if she is in intense, silent prayer.

Whenever I read something about Tom Ford - and there has been heaps lately because of his apparently brilliant directorial debut, The Single Man – I always think that he truly is the Ultimate Virgo. His attention to detail, control-freakiness and self-confessed Virgoanness are all part of his legend.

Along with Carine Roitfeld, he is one of my favourite Virgoans Of Fashion – that’s the thing, there are UNTOLD Virgos working in the fashion industry.  It totally makes sense. A Virgo needs to work in an industry where ability to spot a dodgy hemline or fake Hermes handbag from three blocks away is an asset.  Where everyone has diet bipolarity, alternating between champagne, chocolate and detoxes.

Tom Ford, they say, is obsessed with hygiene & goes through a bottle of eye drops a week as he requires that his eyes look always bright, sparkling and alert. Is this enough to afford him Ultimate Virgo status? Do you know any Ultimate Virgos? My vision of Ultimate Virgo is that he/she is go into the clean-thing (like Ingrid Bergman) that there would be weekly colonics. For the flat tummy and because once glimpsed, the ideal of the clean colon is hard for Ultimate Virgo to let go of.

Ultimate Virgo would also get bi-weekly hair trims, enjoy vigorous exfoliations & sometimes spend up to an hour comparing the mineral analysis of various spring waters in the supermarket. If Ultimate Virgo had a shrink, the shrink would themselves be in therapy just to gather stamina for the relentless questioning of Ultimate Virgo.  Thoughts?

These are illos from Vogue Russia’s 2010 astrology special & they are kind of awesome, yes?

This is Gemini, above, one Twin laughing & the other seething…Here’s Virgo & Pisces…

It WOULD actually take a Virgo to keep that white nunny thing so starched & white though I think that, in real life, Virgoans prefer a nude lip. Less chance for mishaps and lip imprints…

Poor Fish. It’s a bit creepy & Pisceans don’t usually like wearing watches.

Hmmm. These are handcrafted shoes made from recycled leather that can be created in any sign of the Zodiac and as pumps, high-heels or whatever. All sizes. Interesting, no?

I’m not sure an actual Scorpio would wear these. I always think Scorpios would really rather wear something like these:

Peter Lindbergh

Right.

In a previous post re Nicole Kidman’s GQ mag cover & her chart I speculated that she actually had an astrologer…She’d timed the GQ thing raving on about fetish what-not to perfectly accentuate her Scorpio Rising.

But this?

It’s a mag read mostly (surely?) by gay guys and menswear fashion industry peeps – nothing wrong with that – with the cover line “crazy for women” (I thought L’Uomo was crazy for gorgeous guys) and with her looking like a boy.

I mean, really.  Yes Geminis are meant to be good at androgyny (don’t bitch at the messenger, I am not the first person to say this – even the God Mercury is a hermaphrodite, no?) but this is weird.

And right now, Nicole K has Mars Retrograde on her Midheaven in Leo. NOT the time to be whacking yourself on the cover of mags or doing risky media. If i were her astrologer, I would say please go away and be fabulous incognito. Come back in June when Mars has well cleared that Midheaven and Uranus in Aries is starting to trine it.

Also, she looks like she is trying not to throw up.

The photographer, Peter Lindbergh, is a Saggo and you know how tactless they can be.

Plus the shadows behind look spooky and worse, DAMP.

Then again, I’m biassed toward the old-style L’Uomo Covers:

Was going on and ON about Ankhs last September , two weeks ago i fixed myself an Ankh charm hanging off some haemetite and now am so happy to seek Ankhs all over the place in the new Erin Wasson RVCA collection. It is one of the most ancient symbols of all time; the original cross and with a myriad of meanings. I love it when magic manifests mainstream.
