is alexa a bitch?



Alexa Chung arriving for the Vivienne Westwood show, New Oxford Street. I photographed Alexa Chung earlier in the day on Luxbrough Street, at the Topshop venue. As I briefly took my shots, Alexa seemed bored and tired of being photographed. This is understandable to some extent, given the amount of media attention she is given. So I decided to post this grab shot of her instead, which I feel says more about Alexa than the portraits I took previously, - which were totally bland and devoid of interest. I also came across Alexa at the Luella show and offered her my card, she refused and referred to me as the “Topshop photographer”. I found her comments really patronising and unnecessarily rude, and it begs me to ask the question, is this what you become when you reach celebrity status and have constant media attention?

i realize it gets old, but i believe in still being gracious. this isn't an instance of paparazzi, this is london fashion week and everyone wants to see what you are wearing. that's what gets her so popular. no need to shit on the talented streetstyle photographers that are trying to share your style to the world.

There's a reason it's only going to be 30 mins next season. HA HA HA.
wownow 28th-Sep-2009 12:58 am (UTC)
there must also be a reason why it has been moved to a better, after-school time slot.

snuffydoop 28th-Sep-2009 02:07 am (UTC)
hey hey hey, i think we need to agree to send her into space or something. no one deserves this woman.
dannyha 27th-Sep-2009 11:44 pm (UTC)
she's fug, sounds like a man, and can't handle an interview without interrupting the people every other second.
jujubaby94 28th-Sep-2009 03:38 am (UTC)
looks like a man too
moshbydefault 29th-Sep-2009 04:28 am (UTC)

THIS. THIS. THIS. It pisses me off SFM.
crazyfirecrotch 27th-Sep-2009 11:44 pm (UTC)
idk if she's a bitch but she sure is a shitty host.

accioanime 27th-Sep-2009 11:44 pm (UTC)
I really dont understand why she's getting all these attention. I dont see the appeal.
cmonpetunia 28th-Sep-2009 01:00 am (UTC)
mte. i just don't get it. and i keep seeing these fashion blog posts like ~omgiluvalexachungsstyle. do not want.
curtaindown 28th-Sep-2009 01:03 am (UTC)
I really dont either. I was on holiday in New York two weeks ago and stumbled across the VMA crowds, and someone shouted "its ALEXA CHUNG!" and she had a big roar. Me and my mate were all "How the fuck is she getting that much attention."

Though America is welcome to keep her. We in the UK hate her too.

UGH WASH YOUR HAIR
yolly22 28th-Sep-2009 12:12 am (UTC)
that's the first thing I noticed. gross.
superhetoric 27th-Sep-2009 11:44 pm (UTC)
that does sound shitty but at the same time i don't give much credence to one-off complaints like this. i don't think there's a single person on the planet who hasn't unintentionally come off like an asshole once or twice in their life. not that i know much about this alexa chick but i don't think "being an asshole once" makes you an automatic total bitch.
shoes_with_soul 27th-Sep-2009 11:50 pm (UTC)
Yeah I don't like her that much but it seemed here like they were reading too much into her behavior. From what they quoted she didn't actually say anything bitchy it was just how they chose to interpret her comments.

Although...refusing their card isn't exactly polite so who knows, maybe she is a huge bitch.
treebraids 28th-Sep-2009 12:13 am (UTC)
I've never known her to say outrightly bitchy things, but she has this air about her like she is looking down her nose at you.
treebraids 28th-Sep-2009 12:11 am (UTC)
Mah! it isn't a one-off complaint. Many people in the media know her to be snobby and up her arse.
blackxjeans 27th-Sep-2009 11:44 pm (UTC)
She kind of gives off the bitchy vibe. I saw her show once and it was just terrible. She kept interrupting her guests.
moshbydefault 29th-Sep-2009 04:29 am (UTC)
Who is in your icon? I can't for the life of me figure it out..

beating_heartss 27th-Sep-2009 11:45 pm (UTC)
Why would that lady want to give Alexa her card?
I can only assume they are paparazzi, idgi.
imlostbrotha 27th-Sep-2009 11:52 pm (UTC)
they are a streetstyle photographer and they give cards out so that the celeb can see the picture.

some streetstyle photogs are super important in the industry: tommy ton, scott from the sartorialist and garance dore.
trytokissher 28th-Sep-2009 12:13 am (UTC)
a little bit off topic, but tommy ton is my friend's cousin (!!) so weird. she babysits his dog.
wownow 28th-Sep-2009 01:08 am (UTC)
streetstyle photographers also try to make contact with people to pre-arrange 'spontaneous' shoots. tippetts hasn't specified why he offered her his card, maybe alexa was refusing the underlying offer rather than just his card.
lovely_joy 27th-Sep-2009 11:46 pm (UTC)
ugh, I hate this overrated waste of space.
