The alternative title for this post could also be, our MMW guest contributor Geraly is really, really into fashion designer Ozwald Boateng, ;) who has his own reality show right now on the Sundance Channel. And yes, of course I watch it! Looooove the fashion reality shows.

It’s nice to see that he’s using his position in the fashion industry (creative director for Givenchy men) to promote the fact that France is much more multicultural than it ever has been before.

Here’s what Geraly had to say on her own blog, Mamazilla:

but when i tuned in, boateng was discussing casting for an upcoming fashion show. he’s perusing model headshots and polaroids and he’s saying, “yes, i’ve seen him all over paris.” or “no, he’s just not right.” and then he says (and i’m sort of paraphrasing because i was just shocked when he said it) “france is multicultural and the show has to represent that. what we really need is more asians. they’re the missing key to the show.” after my initial shock, i laughed ’cause c’mon, can “multicultural france” AFFORD to buy anything boateng?! ha. doubt it. but i digress…

BOATENG NEEDS ASIANS!!!!??? and you shoulda seen the SUPAH FIIIINE asian hotties he found! so, immediately, boateng scores umpteen additional brownie points with mamazilla.

then, THEN! his speechlessly beautiful russian wife, gyunel, brings their totally cute fashion forward toddlers over for what i call the “really, i was just in the neighborhood” visit…
