BAILEY AND MASSENET ARE OFFICIALLY FASHION ROYALTY

london, england - i will always, always wonder how this feels: to be honored by your queen and country, not for your significant contribution, not in science, or politics - but fashion. that, my dear blaynistas, is the true epitome of fabulosity. but i digress (slightly.) christopher bailey, creative director at burberry and natalie massenet, founder of netaporter.com have been honored by the queen of england for their contribution to the u.k's fashion industry. the official title bequeathed upon them is an MBE or member of the order of the british empire. what's the equivilant in america? can uncle obama start giving out purple hearts for professionals in the fashion industry? lord knows it's a battle field. zandile blay
