Plus I would be Chanel's legacy

Here's a fun thing to think about. If you could totally change everything about you and look like someone completely different -- be it age, gender, race, whatever -- who would you like to be? In honor of fashion week, I pick Karl Lagerfeld.

Yes, if I could be an old, fabulous, German man I would. There is something about Lagerfeld that is even more shameless and wonderful than P Diddy. It is his old-school-ness, that certain Euro quality. The omnipresent sunglasses, the I-take-myself-SO-seriously poker face, the white ponytail. The insane combination of cartoon and absolute dead seriousness.. sigh. I could wear a huge glittering pinky ring and feel understated. I could carry a cane and no one would notice. People might kiss my hand. I could say "darling" with a straight face and even make Anna Wintour humble.
