Stylista: Thick Skin Required.

stylista.pngI think every little girl one day dreams of being a fashion magazine editor. The glamour, the celebrity and the image that comes along with it is pretty damn appealing. Not to mention, writing and editing pieces on designers, beautiful clothes, shoes, bags … for some of us it would be a dream-come-true.

And then that little girl watched the season premier of Stylista last night and her dream was shattered. Caddy bitches, huge egos, image scrutinization, drama, drama and more drama — this all defines the fashion industry. A thick skin (and a pair of skinny jeans) is what you’ll need to survive.

Now as someone who isn’t really into the fashion thang, I found last night’s show ridiculous and comical.

First thought, “Who the hell names their child Cologne?”

Second thought, “Ew, Megan’s a bitch.” Keep in mind, this stance was established within the first 3 minutes and grew to, “Ew, I hate Megan AND Dyshaun.” (I think I’ll refer to these two awful people as the “Bitch Twins” from this point forward because somehow they fell in love with each other’s down right nasty personalities.)

Third thought, “Anne Slowey walks funny in her shoes. Shouldn’t fashion editors be high-heel masters? I know I am.” Read More »

Vogue Magazine “Too Feminine” For Hillary Clinton

hillary.jpgPresidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is just rubbing folks the wrong way left and right these days.

This week, it’s America’s Fashion Mavens that the former First Lady has left with bunched panties.

Hillary has turned down a spot on an upcoming cover of Vogue Magazine amidst worries that any affiliation with the fashion mag will make her appear “too feminine” for the role of president.

Hillary Clinton…feminine? You know…somehow, I don’t think that’s going to be a problem!

“We were told by Ms. Clinton’s camp that they were concerned if Clinton appeared in Vogue that she would appear too feminine,” a Vogue spokesman recently said in a statement.

The phrase WTF springs to mind, but what you do think of Hillary’s decision?

Hillary’s Vogue diss has left the Style Bible’s editor, Anna Wintour, tapping her Blahniks in frustation.

Anna briefly addressed the snub in her February editor’s letter, stating: “The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be taken seriously as a seeker of power is frankly dismaying.”
