HIGHSNOBETTE

As no frills as I can be, I have no doubt that I'd last all of an hour with one of these Bando headpieces before it'd be all askew and having me look like Courtney Love after one of her three-day manic attacks. Thus, I envy the girly girls of the world who possess Nicole Richie-esque poise. Nodding off from heroin, weighing in at 80 pounds and barely able to walk...no matter, everything is always in it's place and a place for everything!

Kudos Linda!

WWD just announced the shut down of COSMO  Girl...I will be sensitive to the fashionistas that will now loose their jobs( that sucks),December will be the last issue.Nonetheless as people in media, we should pay more attention to our surroundings...For alot of publications it's just a matter of time...Don't get me wrong I still get so much happiness from flipping through mags and reading great features, but some marketing tactics  and features are just dated...

Where I stand fashion magazines should become more special, the disposability of them makes the eco- consciousness inside of me cringe!In the end I think they should become more like books, things people would want to keep,but for that they would  have to get beyond trends, and if we must constantly revert to celebrities let's have something substantial to say about them...As women don't we love to hear our peers deepest experiences and world  views ect...I know  alot of them have so much more to talk about than their favorite shopping spots...

Not that  there is ANYTHING wrong with a satisfying shopping spree,but you get me right?

 NY Mag  is earning major points with me lately...Their most recent feature on The CUT is a Q&A with the talented beauties of A Peace Treaty: Dana Arbib & Farah Malik.There are so many talented and stylish women out there ,Love it when mainstream media takes the time to feature them instead of the latest starlett scandal or media appearance...
