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 still have a couple of their eyeshadows. I've had them for years and should probably toss them, but now it's like they're a relic or something ... #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
@Penny: "...And then, he's gonna make her Lady Wintour, Viscountess of 4 Times Square, and Marchioness of the Leaping Brazilians, and he'll take her as his vassal for Long Island, and then they'll all eat pizza and cupcakes." #zoekravitz
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
As a reporter, stuff like the Sienna Miller item really ticks me off. Because a lot of people confuse paparazzi with legitimate media - more than I ever thought they would.
People think the "media" is out to get the news (mostly about celebrities) at any cost, even making a young woman cry. A lot of us just want to make the world a better place. :( #alexrodriguez
@Acefreakly: Serious reporters (i.e., ones who work for legitimate news sources and not Page Six) don't stalk celebs so they can shove a tape recorder in their faces and demand a statement on an ex-boyfriend. Believe it or not, most of us in the media really do want to do good in the world. #alexrodriguez
@shadesofmediocrity: Pisses me off too. These people are just idiots who can afford a camera and decide to make some money - they have no standards, no code of ethics. But I find it frustrating the way traditional media organisations are shooting themselves in the foot - they are so desperate to compete with the likes of TMZ that they buy photos from the same arseholes who give everyone in the industry a bad name. #alexrodriguez
@heykoukla: Amen. It sucks because there's so much pressure to have it NOW, NOW, NOW that traditional news media have to get those photos and cite TMZ as a source.
Like when those pictures of a battered woman who looked like Rihanna came out. I saw TMZ's photo on the front page of my local paper's Web site that day. It really made me sad.
You both cannot be Benjamin Button. You must fight for the title Celebrity Deathmatch style, refereed by Brad Pitt. Angelina and I will be in the audience sharing a bag of popcorn. May the best man win.
Arod having 2 pictures of himself as a centaur somehow does not surprise me in the least. Sounds like he's channeling Charlie "I think I was a centaur in a past life" Kelly. #alexrodriguez
@meritxell: an erotic life: AAAAH! I didn't even think of that. That totally made my day.
Did you see last week's episode about the World Series? If A-Rod dressed as Greenman and fought the Phillies mascot in the parking lot, THEN I might like him a little. For now, Charlie wins by a long shot. #alexrodriguez
Every time I read about how vicious people are towards Diablo Cody, I rethink my lifelong fantasy of being a successful and famous writer. Yeesh. #alexrodriguez
