Anointed! Like Christ? So funny. I love your posts on the Kimberly Process in Zim and on the Goldstone scarves! Fashion matters, people. #ragtrade

I am not trying to be mean, but Lily Cole's cakes are probably not very good. Cooking allows for many freedoms (and that salad she's describing sounds delicious) but baking is a science and requires precise amounts to turn out properly.

@LvV: Definitely. One of my friends is a stellar cook and a terrible baker, because she can't just toss things in. She claims it's boring.

I claim it's just as creative; you just have to be carefully creative. #zoekravitz

@LvV: I know a guy who bragged that he made awsome cakes just like Lily Cole, mixing this and that, and guessing the amounts. The one time I actually tasted his cake, it was dense and horrible, but I didn't have the heart to say so. He's a really nice, generous person. I suspect something similar's going on with Cole and her friends. #zoekravitz

True confessions: I have actually worn the mary-kateandashley makeup. They made a really kick ass gold metallic eye shadow pencil that I used to rock in high school. #zoekravitz

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: I have too! I bought a bunch of it at once, like 5 years ago, because they had things packaged together and then they were buy one get one free, and they were cheap. It was good makeup, especially the lip gloss. I used everything until they were done and I still have the dark brown eyeliner.

It is a little embarrassing. One of my friends peeked in my makeup bag and was like "I didn't know you were a Mary Kate and Ashley fan" #zoekravitz

I have very strong opinions about Eileen Fisher. I worked in a boutique that sold her things when I was in college and, regardless of the "image" she's going for (fuck, it's fashion), she IS a godsend to a lot of women. If you can sell a cute pair of linen drawstring pants in XS to a 19 year old like me and dress a size 22 who is 50 and a professional, you're doing something right.

Fisher's ads feature a pretty wide range of women (ages, races and yes, sizes). She doesn't need to target the plus-size market because they already flock to her.

Also, Rosie bugs me. Does Donna Karan go for a plus size image? No. #ragtrade

@Penny: It's not my kind of style, but Eileen Fisher clothing seems to be very well made. Many of the brands catering to plus sizes seem to be very cheaply made.

If I go to a higher end department store and look at plus sizes, the style is very dowdy and matronly. There are young, plus size women who have the money to buy nice things.

@Penny: I agree about the designs -- I actually love some of Eileen Fisher's pieces. (Most of them I stole from my mum, but you know.)

However, it is true the company is consciously chasing a younger "hipper" customer -- they certainly collaborated with a Times article stating same -- and that strikes me as foolish.

And if Fisher herself said what O'Donnell reports, to her very face, that is just downright mean.

@Jenna: I agree. I'm not one to ditch good design willy nilly, but Fisher's rudeness to a happy, loyal customer tells me I shouldn't express any more gratitude to Eileen Fisher with my hard-earned money because clearly my fat behind insults her business.

Famous person talking about and wearing your clothes = great advertising. Famous person telling fans how rude and ungrateful clothing designer is = bad advertising. That's how social media works, lady. #zoekravitz

Zac Efron can wear my favorite jeans for eight weeks to get them to look "perfectly lived-in." I don't mind. Honestly. #ragtrade

I was reading through the UK Vogue with Georgia May on the cover last night. It's literally the first time I have flipped through a magazine and felt frightfully old. #ragtrade

I can relate to Lily Cole's excitement about cooking. I just started cooking meals that are more complicated than "1.) Punch hole in plastic 2.) Put in microwave" and "Place meat in between two pieces of bread." I get really excited when I don't require recipes to get my food going. But I guess I usually only share this excitement with my boyfriend, and he kind of just gives me a skyped-pat on the head-look and proceeds to continue his tradition of cooking delicious food.

And yeah, I actually remember Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's make-up line. Probably because I was a pre-teen at the time it started and scanned the make-up aisle of Wal-Mart like I used to pace and analyze the toy aisle.
