The clothing in the Vogue article appear to be therapeutic so a kinesiologist might be required to explain them to civilians.

Or perhaps an upholsterer.

I didn’t realize she was only 55! That’s really sad and sucks for her. Anglos like to joke about her because we can’t deal with sincerity but she has always struck me as a fundamentally decent person who never allowed her celebrity to overcome her humanity. I attribute a lot of that to her Quebec background.

It’s a great interview. I’m glad she is doing better. My two favourite blogs rarely overlap but today both have a post about Celine’s interview!
Unlike a lot of celebrities, Celine buys all her designer clothes: “I have always bought everything myself. I didn’t want to borrow. It’s a form of respect. People pay to come and hear me sing, so I pay to buy myself clothes by designers.”

@walkerp many Francophones mock her, too. For one, you should hear my belle-mère (mother-in-law, not stepmother) go on a tear, she even does impressions.
