Your Life Can Seem Ever More Mundane

Cathy Horyn Benches cracking at Balenciaga as guests leap up. A second one just carted off. Now a third broke and nervous buzz starts, as in "Me next?"

Paris fashion week is off to a bang in the 6th arrondissement! Haha, good stuff. The French can't even make a decent bench! Silly French people. But also, here is one for the file on Great Moments in Runway Shows Coverage:
“What happened? What happened?” Chiara Mastroianni cried out earlier to Salma Hayek as the Mexican-born actress gingerly walked towards her seat in rope-soled platforms, her right ankle wrapped in a bandage. “A little bit crippled,” Hayek whispered, explaining that she had previously torn ligaments and recently twisted the ankle again. So are such high heels advisable? “It’s okay for five minutes,” she shrugged.
Things have really gone downhill since the banquet years.
If the benches are cracking at a fashion show, perhaps it's a hint from the designer that he thinks the audience is too fat.
Perhaps all of the various fashion weeks should get together and elect one city per year and just hold all of the competition there, and call it Fashion Olympics.
They accidentally set up the Kung Fu Tournament breakaway benches. Whoops!
