 | Leave it to David Letterman to get Anna Wintour, the elusive editor in chief of Vogue, not only to appear on national television without her trademark sunglasses but also debut a trait no one thought she had: a sense of humor! While on the late-night show to promote her documentary “The September Issue,” Anna confessed to Dave that she’s aware of what the press says about her (including that she looks like an alien that escaped from District 9) and thinks that “The Devil Wears Prada” was pure fiction.

Late last week, you’ll recall that we, followed by everyone else on the planet, talked about David Pierson‘s IKEA-in-China piece. Now we start out morning returning to the country with this bit of interesting found by way of Archinect. Story goes is that a book/magazine called Content was recently published in Beijing whose central thesis is that Rem Koolhaas‘ CCTV Tower was created as “a sexual symbol” in order to “humiliate the Chinese.” We’ve all been familiar with the nickname the country gave Koolhaas’ massive structure, “the underpants,” but hadn’t know, until now, that there was any sort of serious hatred toward the building (outside of nearby residents being upset after receiving notice that they were going to be removed for its building and expansion). But apparently so, as a recent survey found that nearly 50 percent of those polled “belive there were pornographic incentives in the design of the CCTV building and ‘felt very angry.'” Admittedly, there’s a batch of cultural interference standing between us and the Chinese, so we don’t fully understand why people think Koolhaas wanted to humiliate the country or how he managed to do it via the government-run television network (also, the aforementioned book, Content, which spilled the beans on the starchitect’s nefarious intentions, doesn’t really seem to do much other than slap nude photographs on top of the building, which isn’t all that convincing), but it certainly feels something like a resistance to modernism and foreign involvement approached in some abstract form. So we’ll just leave it as an interesting piece of interesting, all the while enjoying quotes like this that we also don’t understand but really like as a soundbite:
Xiao Mo, a well-known architect believes that the new CCTV building has become a landmark in Beijing and must endure the test of time.
“If Koolhaas wants to humiliate China, he is humiliating himself.”

Deadheading. It sounds like either a grisly ritual or a summer vacation following your favorite band on tour. But it’s neither. Deadheading is simply the practice of removing the dead flowers from a plant. The reason you deadhead is because if you don’t, the flower will stop blooming, and how disappointing would that be?
All plants have one goal — to go to seed so they can perpetuate their little flower family. Creating flowers is part of that process, and if you leave the dead blooms on the plant, it will stop blooming and concentrate on going to seed. However, when you interrupt that cycle by removing old blooms, the plant then puts its energy into strengthening itself and producing more flowers in a continued effort to go to seed. The more you cut off the dead blooms, the more fresh blooms you’ll get.
This is a lot like organizing your life. The more you clear out and eliminate what’s “dead” in your life, the more space you create for opportunity, love, and success in the future. You have more energy to put toward strengthening yourself and blooming even more gloriously than you did before.

Anche i topi meritano rispetto. Così, una volta intrappolati, grazie a questa ironica Mausetrap, si ritroveranno già alloggiati nella tomba e pronti per una degna sepultura. Un’idea di Sarah Dery. Spero però di non doverne mai farne uso!
