Karl Lagerfeld: ‘What I hate most is flipflops, I am physically allergic to flipflops

[MohandasKGanja]

I think Kunty Karl was hot in his younger days.

The first time I ever saw a shot of Karl, it was in a Helmut Newton book, and he was sporting the same facial hair as above. I remember thinking "that's a very masculine-looking guy". Boy, did I learn you can't rely on one photograph to get an accurate impression of somebody.....

Slight resemblance to the leather daddy in Village People?

I wouldn't say he was hot, but he was not-ugly.

Karl may or may not be correct about flip-flops. I am certainly no fashion expert. But I would be willing to bet $5 if Karl designed some flip flops on the runway he would suddenly think them precious.
I am not a big fan of large tattoos on people so sue me. I am still trying to remember when tats became so big here in the US. I don't think I know too many adults under 30 who don't have or want one. (I am talking adults as I don't know what the "kids" like these days) The whole thing seems strange to me. I keep thinking ...."do you have any idea what that thing is going to look like in 15 years?"
I also think of my late Dad's tattoo on his arm which came to resemble a big dark grey blotch starting in his 50s. Of course he was in the military during WWII.
Oh well what do I know?

i find him too bitter to be palatable, personally, but i can see why people dig him and his attitude.

He would call them Sandales de Plage and deny they have anything in common with flip flops.

Well damn! Who knew. However I prefer the Kunty Karl of today.
