Must say I've never heard of Bill Blass either, but... OK, I have heard of Barbra (born or shortly afterward being named Barbara), but not of Cynthia. By the way, I wouland often someone's guesswork which doesn't get checked out because people haven't the courage to say 'Who?'. Nov 02 10, 1:44 PM

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_did_fashion_designer_Bill_Blass_call_basically_an_ugly_young_woman_from_the_Bronx This is why we don't want unreferenced answers from another "ask" site. You can use these as a aid when you can't find anything else, but you would need to find a source that actually links "Cynthia Kramer" (who?) with the quote. Nov 02 10, 10:14 PM

I can find you a Cynthia Kramer who might have been from the Bronx, although she doesn't seem to have been someone about whom a topflight fashion designer would have bothered to make any comment. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D03E3D8103EF931A15755C0A9639C8B63&sec=&spon= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Blass_%28designer%29 Mind you, he might have made such a comment about Barbra Streisand - the fact that she is from Brooklyn rather than the Bronx doesn't mean he got it right!
