Note: Magazines come out a month in advance. September’s magazines are Augusts.

The September issue of Vogue is out and the advertisers have made the issue heavy enough to use as a dumbbell. No complaints from me.

It is the International Collections special and there are lots of clothes to fawn over, Labels and trends to be urban cool, and accessories that make a difference in Vogue’s Big Fashion Issue.

There is a brilliant article on the history of Gucci, Paloma Picasso revisits Venice and talks about her journey to becoming a jewellery designer, Dries Van Noten gives a guide to his Antwerp, up-coming actress, producer and writer Brit Marling is interviewed (Frost loves her), Rifat Ozbek is doing Robin Birley’s new club, Ruperts; Good two page article.

I noticed afterward that in the shops you get a free fashion DVD. However, I did not get this as a subscriber. Bad form.

There is a free gift but not for subscribers, grr.

There is a moving tribute to Tatler senior editor John Graham, Princess Tatiana of Greece and Denmark, A guide to nightclubs, An article on what it is like to stay on Abramovich’s yacht and the Royal Family residences, who sits where at White’s, Secret Cinema, Kate Middleton joins Competitive Princessing, Sir Michael Sorrell, What to wear: looking posh on less dosh, Legendary Lotharios, Rich Kids, a good 6 page spread on Tina Brown.

There is also lots of Travel and the Bystander (the social diary). Kate Middleton makes an appearance at the Derby with William, as does Elton John’s annual White Tie & Tiara Ball.

Frost has been complain that Marie Claire has not been giving its subscribers free gifts because of ‘cost’, and this month’s issue came with a free gift. It would seem someone listened but, alas, no. In the shops you get a free nail polish and a conditioner. I just got a conditioner.

Emily Mortimer is an "unreliable" driver.

The ‘Cars 2’ actress – who has children Sam, seven, and 18-month-old
May with husband Alessandro Nivola – wants to buy a car but her spouse
has suggested she stay off the roads because her abilities behind the
wheel are limited.
She said: “My first car was an old Saab. And then I had a BMW that my
father-in-law joked he needed tetanus shot to get into because it was
just so full of old half-eaten sandwiches and bits of coke cans and
things.
“But my husband doesn’t allow me to drive anymore because I’m very unreliable.
“We live in New York and my husband refuses to get a car because it’s
just so nightmarish parking and I’m desperate for a car. I don’t know
why, I just really want one.”
The 39-year-old star recently borrowed a vehicle from her friend to
prove to her husband she could cope, but admits it turned out to be a
disastrous move.
She said: “I borrowed a friend’s car when they went on holiday to
prove to him it would be fine and within the space of a morning, I got
three tickets and when I drove past into the back of another car the
number plate fell off so I had to take it to a garage.
“The same time, I got ticketed for driving while I was on my phone,
driving without a seatbelt and then for parking in the wrong place. So
yes, I’m banned from driving now.”

Emily Mortimer on her Glamourous role

Posted on by

Emily Mortimer thinks voicing an animated car is the most “glamorous” role she has ever had.

The British actress voices sexy sports car Holley Shiftwell in forthcoming sequel ‘Cars 2’ and was relieved she didn’t have to appear on screen because of her “bad” hair.

She said: “I’m convinced this is the most glamorous I’ll ever be in celluloid on this film.

“And luckily I don’t have any hair because my hair has always been my downfall. My hair looks really bad in all my movies so I was delighted to be a car that doesn’t have hair. I look better in this movie than I ever have or ever will look in any other movie.

“Even my agent complains about my hair.”

Emily’s character is also an undercover spy but she insists she could never have based her portrayal on one of the glamorous women who feature in ‘James Bond’ movies.

She explained: “I couldn’t do that because I knew if I tried to emulate a ‘Bond’ heroine I would just fall flat on my face.

“I just had to be me in that world. My natural instinct was to just do what I would feel, which is just completely dippy and pathetic in that situation and that’s what I was doing.

“Then we realised that if she was out in the field, in this high-powered spy mission, she wouldn’t be quite so c**p as that so we developed it together over time.”
