We've developed something of a magazine phobia recently (magazines bring pain!), so we're only just now getting to the terrifying piece of lifestyle porn on Kimora Lee Simmons in New York. There's something about Kimora — and it's not just that one wants to keep checking her for an Adam's apple. Kimora's leading the brigade — everyone who was no one wants to be a megabrand now:

"I have this vision of Kimora being the greatest brand in the world," says Russell, 46, who, like his wife, speaks in Trumpian superlatives. "There s no woman better. Nobody should put on a Franck Muller diamond-platinum watch before Kimora. You have some girl who s a rapper who came from the block? It ain't the same as Kimora."

And that's the nice part of the article.
