I knew I remembered this from somewhere! Exhibit A is Brit designer Beatrice Boyle’s aptly named “Howl” print with mascara stained cheeks. And to the right is a tamed down version from Urban Outfitters complete with a lipstick smeared pout, glassy eyes, and heaving bosom. The only difference is $90 yet I’m opting for the former since the later has the words “insecure” stamped on the back. Yeah, not so much.

I’m not sure whether to feel hopeful that an editor could earn six figures or sad that Hearst cut the budget for proofreaders.

If ever there was an industry that deserved to imbibe in alcohol, it would be print media. Serious Eats unearths a liquid remedy that makes “waiting for a publisher’s delayed payment or an editor’s reply to a pitch” easier to swallow in the form the Journalist Cocktail.

Apparently I might be destined to be a red-headed doormat.
“She’s the kind of girl who lets other kids copy her homework over and over, even if they never reciprocate. And when she gets a crush, she showers her beloved with affection, gifts, and late-night emotional support, all of which the love object can lap up — without giving anything back. At some point, Wendy will learn who’s actually worthy of her nurturing — but until then, her oh-so-available heart may get crushed a few times.”
And on top of that, Wendy is low (wo)man on the totem pole ranking in at #458 in the U.S. I got beat by Rihanna (#311), Rebekah (#354), and Lyric (#429). Le sigh.

Tavi aside, it’s hard to be irked by the under 13 set infiltrating Bryant Park when they say things like this one pint-sized fashionista outside the Monique Lhuillier show. An inquisitive little girl overheard her mom say that she wanted her daughter to know that there are “different sizes and shapes of models” which puzzled the 6-year-old.
Olivia: There’s shapes to the models?
Mom: Some of them are tall and some of them are short.
Olivia: I thought you meant like they had circle heads and rectangle heads and triangle heads.
Too cute.
Note: The little girl pictured above is not Olivia but rather a 5-year-old special correspondent that shadowed Racked.com editor Danica Lo around the tents.

I’m torn between a feeling of reverence and hatred after watching the “Day in the Life of…” clip on Kelly Cutrone’s assistant Andrew Mukamal. First off he has four closets with three of them being within bed’s reach?! (I’m just a tad bitter since all I have is the left half of a hallway closet.) His pair of smaller closets are stacked floor to ceiling with “stuff from other seasons” while a separate shoe closet is stocked with Rick Owens, Givenchy, and Ann Demeulemeester footwear. And let’s not get started on his “real closet” which is a walk-in filled with skirts, $1,500 knit Rodarte leggings, a bondage-inspired Ann D. corset, and his mom’s vintage leather trench that looks like he could “straight up kill you.” I die.
At least I probably have some company in Stefanie Skinner whose “Day in the Life of…” clip had her eating charred English muffins while sitting in her bedroom/living room/dining room which is about the equivalent of her replacement’s “real closet.” And to add insult to injury, Bravo couldn’t even spell Stephanie’s Stefanie’s name right. Can’t the girl catch a break?
