Tina Brown's Skinniness, Lack Of 'F--- You' Dress (Almost) Overshadows That New Book We've Heard Next To Nothing About

If you've been to any fancy book parties lately, then you likely already know exactly how these things work. There's typically an over-stressed author, an under-utilized open bar, an abundance of untouched hors d'oeuvres trays, and a clusterfuck of publicity-hungry "friends," who haven't read the book (and have no intention of doing so) but have nothing but praise and backhanded compliments for the author.

Case in point, Isaac Mizrahi.

Craving frivolity over seriousness, The Transom approached designer Isaac Mizrahi, who saw a ready muse in Ms. Brown. “We have to figure out what she could make at Target,” he said, “because I think she could do really well in that store …. I’ll tell you something, she’s like a role model for me right now because she’s so thin. I mean, not that she was ever big, but you know she’s kind of at that crucial moment, where she could go one way or the other and she kind of looks amazing. So that’s a real inspiration for all of us.”

Naturally, Brown didn't help matters by shifting the attention to her choice of wardrobe.

Writes WWD:

William Randolph Hearst 3rd is hosting [Tina Brown] in San Francisco, and Reuters is toasting her at the Serpentine Gallery in London, which was the place the Princess of Wales showed up the night Prince Charles' affair with Camilla Parker Bowles became public. "It's where Diana wore her famous f— you dress," Brown recalled. "I guess I have to get a f— you dress, as well."

Oddly enough, we know just where to find such a dress! And , lucky for Tina, we hear Target carries every size from "Big," to "On the Cusp" to "Impressively Thin."
