Kanye West Pleased, Honored, and Humbled

Oh My!

Usually too bogged down by his own egomaniacal, impossibly-high expectations to enjoy or appreciate any career accolades that come his way, it's sort of a shock to see Kanye West so genuinely overjoyed and humbled after Vanity Fair included him on its "International Best Dressed List."

In fact, the honor has rendered him unable to adequately express himself on his blog: "I've sat in front of this computer for 20 minutes trying to put into words how I feel… who all to thank… and how to celebrate… this is a true honor and I am humbled by it!!!" He does know that acceptance speeches aren't required, right?

i guess i'd be humbled too if i dressed like an unintentional nerd from the 80's would dress and people of 2008 thought this was "best dressed" material - have you seen some of the shit he mashes together into an outfit, just comes off looking desperate if you ask me

I love his style, but he really needs step from behind the curtain and exhale.

I deliberately left him off my blog by congratulating only Michelle Obama for the honor. My reason: Kanye is corky enough, and would probably think it was a long time coming. Well . . .I could be wrong.
