Kanye West and Azealia Banks Discuss the Most Important Meal of the Day [Notable Quotable]

Aug 10, 2012 1:30 PM  

As an up-and-coming rapper (or "vocalist"), Azealia Banks is being flown over the world and given the opportunity to meet all kinds of interesting people. Remember when she burst into tears — which, to be fair, is what any of us would do — when meeting Beyonce? And now, in the newest issue of Vibe, Banks relays a story about the day she spent in London with Kanye West:

"He hit me up like, ‘You're mad talented. What do you eat for breakfast?'"

"What do you eat for breakfast?" Aw, Yeezy. You're mad adorable.

"The whole conversation was pretty dense — two Geminis in one room. So it was so many ideas flying. We spent the whole day together, but the best part was dinner. We're eating out the same plates with chopsticks, and he's freestyling for me. I was like, ‘Oh shit, this is real!' You know how you smile so much your face hurts?"

Yes, Azealia. We're right there with you.

Seven Notable Facts About Modeling Camp NYC [Kids Today]

Jul 30, 2012 5:00 PM  

There's a short piece about something called Modeling Camp NYC in the new issue of The New Yorker, and writer Rebecca Mead reveals six interesting facts:

12-year-old Luciana, the youngest camper, was also the shortest: "I'm five-four," she said, then reconsidered. "I mean, four-five. I always get that mixed up."Instead of archery, scavenger hunts or sack races, Modeling Camp activities include "runway walking, makeup application, and camera engagement."Heather Cole, the camp's founder, a former model from Surrey, England says: "It's modeling camp, not modeling school. To me, this camp is about life skills, and just walking away with confidence."When asked what she'd learned, fourteen-year-old Amanda said: "You've got to go bam! when you come out." As she said this, she was "planting a hand on one hip and jutting it out dramatically."Most of the camp activities took place in a hotel conference room."The girls did get outside every day; they walked a block to get lunch at a pizzeria on Second Avenue."
And here's a fact not in the story: Four days in New York City costs $999. That includes activities, a photo shoot, a portfolio, lunch and a T-shirt. But, you know, life skills.
