MRS. SIZZLE THINKS RU ENNINFUL IS SUPER CHIC. BEST PART IS, HE DOESNT KNOW IT!
I asked Stefano Tonchi, the editor in chief of W magazine, to talk about Edward: "Edward is one of the most talented image-makers in the world. He is also one of the funniest and most creative people I have ever met. His enthusiasm for fashion and magazines is contagious. I call him “the sunshine in my life" because he can always see the positive side of things, the half full glass and never the half empty. That does not mean that he excepts mediocrity. He constantly strives for excellence but with culture and respect for others."

CATHERINE LEDNER GREW UP IN AN "ANIMAL HOUSE"
I have always been a fan of Catherine Ledner's work, particularly her book ANIMAL HOUSE. Here are some questions I posed to the photographer:
Did you have animals growing up?
Yes! As a family we had many pets. When I was very young, we had a Springer Spaniel named Light bulb, because of the light bulb shaped marking on one of her eyes. We then had a Cocker Spaniel named Snoopy, named after my favorite cartoon character at the time. Later we had a chocolate Labrador named Tasha, not sure how she got that name. For smaller critters, we had a bevy: rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, fish and turtles. My mom and dad are definitely animal people. Thank goodness they indulged my two brothers and I in our love of animals.
CIG HARVEY AND ALL THINGS GOOD IN LIFE
"I grew up on the moors in Devon, England. An extreme landscape with wild ponies, ancient forests, and windswept grasses. It was a landscape that inspired my imagination. I would spend my days damming rivers, getting my boots stuck in mud, and making dens. I oriented myself by the particular curve of a tree or a clutter of bluebells. I now live with my family in rural Maine, a place that often reminds me of my childhood. The sound of certain birds in summer, finding frogs in streams, and walking my dog at dusk: I use animals as metaphors for all things that are good in life." - Cig Harvey
MRS. SIZZLE HEARS ABOUT CATHERINE JOHNSON'S COLLECTION OF DOG PICTURES
I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. For my fifth birthday my parents gave me an endearing and wacky terrier I named Little Bob, an name apropos for a diminutive dog with such a considerable personality. Since then, I have been captivated by the relationships between people and their dogs, their shared bond and mutual admiration.

MRS. SIZZLE'S DAUGHTER SOPHIE FOUND A CAT. ALICE LANE ADOPTED HER. ALICE'S SON WALT SAID, "MOMMY, WHY DID THEY THROW THE KITTY OUT? "
"A million things hold the universe together. Our universe begins with Instagram and a cat.
I had rescued this sweet cat named Jazz from the streets of Hartford over a month before Alice walked into our lives. Jazz was malnourished, cold, and dumpster diving in order to survive. Countless treats and a few scratches later, she moved into my college dorm full time with me.
MRS SIZZLE, THE DOGIST AND FOUND MY ANIMAL JOINED TOGETHER IN A PHOTO SHOOT. ADOPTING IS CHIC.
