    Jenna, sort of a weird question, but-- did you ever meet Daul? Did you know her personally or know people who were good friends with her?

    My best friend cut himself in high school. Looking at the Catherine McNeil article and the attached pictures is very painful for me, and while I'm no expert, those cuts do not look like the result of a skateboarding accident.

    I saw it the other night and found it a bit dull. The one really worthwhile scene is Andre Leon Talley playing tennis in his LV getup (terrific).

    I thought the Valentino doc ("The Last Emperor") got more of the glamour, talent, beauty of the fashion world, and was far more engrossing.

    In watching Vogue, I really felt it was an era that had ended...

    Just my opinion.

    I'm not scared of fashion, nor do I put it down. What I put down is the absurdity of exalting the people who create, shill, and buy it in a manner that suggests that they are doing something important on the level of curing cancer. I believe fashion, at its best, has artistic value; it adds something worthwhile to our culture. But, folks, you are not curing devastating diseases or working towards peace and equality. I don't put down your fashion. I do, however, put down the over-inflated sense of self-importance that some people in the fashion world project.

    @tallgirl-in-heels: Unfortunately, that attitude isn't only in the fashion industry. Most people aren't curing cancer, but I run into people from every walk of life in every industry with self-important attitudes. However, if a person IS really talented (as many fashion designers are, they're doing what I can't), I don't mind it.

    @greengrey: Oh, I know. I work in the legal field, which has more than its fair share of over-inflated egos. I hate the attitude there as much as I do in fashion. It's one thing to own your talent and expect the appropriate level of recognition for your achievements. It's another thing entirely to act like an entitled, superior, asshole because you happen to be good at something considered exclusive (like fashion), or that is high paying (like big firm lawyering).

    @tallgirl-in-heels: It's a fact of life that not everybody gets to cure cancer.

    I do however believe that everyone deserves to, and should, take pride in his or her work.

    @Jenna: I never said anything to the contrary. Rather, as I said in my reply to greengrey, everyone should own their talent and there's nothing wrong with expecting recognition for your achievements. Taking pride in your work, however, does not preclude one from having a sense of perspective. From reading your work, you seem to have a good sense of it. By contrast, the wealthy designer you wrote about who made you and your colleagues pose for hours on end without paying you or even adequately feeding you seems to be lacking a bit in the perspective department, and a little too well-endowed in the self-importance department. That the designer may be good at her job and deserves to take pride in her work doesn't excuse her behavior. But that's just my opinion.

    "Tonne Goodman says after a styling critique where Wintour rejects nearly every look he has put together that he wants to kill himself "

    Isn't Tonne Goodman female? Perhaps you have her confused with a different fashion editor?

    I love beautiful things, I just can't afford them. Vogue might as well be a magazine about faeries. It's not that I don't understand, Anna, it's that you operate in a completely different universe.

    Nice sum up except for the phrase "her intellectual heavyweight family." This is Chilly Charlie's daughter -- someone who dropped out of North London Collegiate when she was sixteen. Journalists in her b.g. Nothing intellectual.

    @Pandorasvoicebox: Prelapsarian? Yeah, I had to run a search on that too. It refers to "the fall (of man)". Vogue in 2007 was still successful, so this film was before the fall of Vogue.
    Though someone smarter than me can correct me if I'm wrong.

    This is why I steal my husband's magazine's. Sept "Men's Journal" is the Style & Design issue with great stuff in there.

    Why can't women's magazine's be fun to read? Why do they always end up making me feel bad about my "office chair ass"?

    What I hate most about these 'beauty' features, is that they are a very thinly veiled ploy for the writers to get free treatments/surgery/whatever.
