Supahstars! La Scala 2008/09 La Prima Brings Out Fashion Designers & Their Adoring Skanks

It's always curious to see the mixed crowds who turn out for Scala's St. Ambrogio season opener...the awesome mix of larger-than-life Italian celebrities, cleavage pouring out of the bustiers of even the homliest women, ancient grey farts stuffed into tuxes, and the various skanks who get it all wrong. This year was rather disappointing...the crowds were painfully boring. Tho we did spot a few celebs who are known outside of Italy: Stefano Gabbana & Domenico Dolce, Valentino Garavani, Valeria Marini, Roberto Bolle, and Renato Balestra.

Above we see poor Stefano Gabbana ambushed by Valeria Marini at last night's la prima. Stefano also spoke to the papers as an ersatz critic, and said that the the gloomy staging was "cemetary-like". ~zing~!! Here's oooo so much more:

Who ARE these monstrosities?? Is that really what the audience looks like? Yikes! I'm scared. That blond broad is the most offensive of them all.

[Tanya]

Eliana Miglio's back is so ashy. She needs some moisturizer STAT.

[Willym]

Would it be rude of me to say the horses' asses were a whole lot better looking that most of the attendees?

[Jon]

Please tell me that Valeria Marini had to hold her purse over her Venus Fly Trap all night, because it would appear in that picture that the only thing stopping this blog from becoming X Rated was that fur encrusted purse, which conveniently matches her arm/shoulder fur flap.

Wow.

[fignaz]

By the looks of her face, Valeria Marini had work done by Balestra's plastic surgeon. And on top of that, judging by the photo with Gabbana, she has hands like a dude's.

[Amanda White]

Haven't been to Milan in years so forgive me if my memory is fuzzy, but why is there a stripper pole behind the 2nd/3rd pic of the blonde woman? Did she bring her own?

[flipstinger]

Marini total NO-no with that frock! Noticed how she was all over Gabbana but the other was not responding the same way? Prolly embarassed to have a picture taken with this woman...

Balestra....oh mY! botox induced face? The lady with him didn't do any bettah. Looked like a lot of stretch done on her face...

Well, kiddos....good entertainment at least.

[maguy]

Dear OC perhaps next time we could see what the real people look like in this operatic inferno ? are there real people ,actually ?

[amber]

Balestro's "incredulous surprise"-eyebrows and "amiable"-half sneer are locked in eternal conflict. Everyone loses.

Also...I think I love you. This is the only blog I bother to read every day. You're even bookmarked at the top of my screen and shiz.

[Pussy Galore]

I, too, want to know if Marini had to walk around holding her purse in front of her the whole time. If so, maybe she should just add a sporran to the outfit next time she takes it out for a stroll.
