My old mate YOHJI called me on me iphone last week he was on for hours and ya know how hot them iphones get, it nearly burnt me ear!!! Then of course the battery nearly ran out as usual! (Well it didn't really I made that up just to get rid of him he'd have been on all day otherwise cryin' his eyes out)
Why was he ringin' thefashionrat I hear ya ask? He wanted me to lend him a few quid he said..."ROL I need new backers otherwise I'll have to shut the New York store " I said don't be ridiculous ask yer brother KANSAI he's loaded!! He said it 'aint his brother and that there's hundreds of YAMAMOTO'S in Japan so it's like been called Smith.
Well how was l supposed to know? But it does explain why his stuff was always better than yours and why BOWIE nicked all KANSAI'S ideas in 1971 for his ALADDIN SANE tour. Anyway I digress, I told him YOHJI you're a legend in the fashion world mate ya can't be broke? He said it was only to the tune of $67 million.... it was then I realised how useless my mate was!
I said to him look YOHJI ..YES I'm loaded but NO I 'aint bailin' ya out mate... open a chain of Japanese fast food joints instead.... diversify luvvie! He hung up on me in tears bless him. Two days later he'd boarded up the New York shop, I feel guilty now I could have bailed him out couldn't I... but the thing is I'd just had CHRISTIAN LACROIX on the phone in tears beggin' me to lend him ten million Euros' so he don't go bust...what's thefashionrat to do in these hard times, I mean if VIVIEN WESTFIELD ever asked me for money that would be different l'd always lend her a couple a quid especially since they named that shoppin' mall after her in Shepherds Bush...whot an honour...she's a Dame and she's got a shoppin' centre named after her...it don't get much better than that ratfans yeahhhh!
