Grace Coddington Autobiography in the Works
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Models, News,
Grace Coddington is to pen her fashion memoirs.
The Welsh-born fashion writer, who came to the attention of many thanks to her starring role in The September Issue alongside Anna Wintour, is to write a book with Men’s Vogue editor-in-chief Jay Fielden.
“We’re just starting, and I think it’s going to be a really fun project. I’m hoping it’s going to be very rich in fashion history.”
The book is expected to document her early life in Wales, as well as her careers at both British and American Vogue. The flame-haired former model is currently the creative director of American Vogue, and joined the magazine on the same day as Anna Wintour in 1988.
Her profile was raised by The September Issue, which explored her relationship with both Wintour and the other stylists and designers involved with the magazine. Grace began working for Vogue after her modeling career was cut short due to a car crash that led her to require plastic surgery.

Kelly Osbourne’s Wax Confession
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Sharon Osbourne left daughter Kelly with missing skin when she waxed her mustache. Kelly revealed her mother tricked her into removing her facial hair when she was a teenager, and found it hilarious when the procedure went wrong.
She explained, “My first waxing experience was with Sharon when I was 14. She shouted, ‘Darling, come here.’ She was standing with a little pot and plastic spatula and said, ‘Lie on your back for a minute.’ She straddled my stomach, and smeared the wax on my top lip. I screamed in pain. She’d heated it for too long. She did eventually pull it off but half my skin went with it. To make it worse, she was laughing so hard she weed on me.”
Kelly, 24, also claims Sharon is “addicted” to plastic surgery—Sharon has previously estimated she has spent at least $485,800 on procedures, adding she dislikes it when her mother goes under the knife.
Referring to wrinkle-smoothing injections Botox, Kelly explains in her autobiography Fierce:
“She says, ‘I’m just going in for a routine op.’ There’s nothing routine about getting your t**s done! We’d say, ‘Mum, you’ve had Botox again.’ She’d reply, ‘No, I didn’t.’ ‘Yes you did - you’re head is f***ing bleeding,’ we’d say in unison. Once she had her lips plumped. We were sitting around Sir Elton John’s dining room table and he said, ‘Sharon, what the f**k has happened to your lips?’ We all burst out laughing. He sent her to a doctor to get it fixed. I’m forever turning to her and saying, ‘What’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.’ She’ll say, ‘No, the Botox went wrong again.’”
