    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

    There is something very bizarre, in my opinion, with the fashion industry's fascination with finding women who look like other famous women. Nearly everything I have read about Georgia Jagger points out that she resembles Brigitte Bardot and it's the same with Claudia Schiffer. When Anna Nicole first hit the big time, there were comparisons to Marilyn Monroe and Megan Fox is compared to Angelina Jolie...The list goes on. I know this comment is coming across as a little half-baked and incoherent; I just can't exactly put my finger on why this concept weirds me out so very much. #versace

    Aw, I still love Matthew Williamson, ridiculous as he is.
    I'm also excited about Vionnet. It's one of those things that, I think, will be either absolutely wonderful or absolutely disastrous. So I'll stay tuned. #versace

    Matthew Williamson: I am sorely disappointed. I am cursing you with my Greek evil eye. When you are in the motherland, you go to a taverna to get tzatziki, horiatiki, feta, and lots and lots of OUZO. Say No to Nobu. OPA. #versace

    Even if Steve Madden is not selling many shoes, of COURSE they're not bankrupt. Their extremely cheaply made shoes are way more expensive than they are worth. Honestly, they are Payless quality. #heidiklum

    LOL @ being dressed by the Adam Lippes intern, Jenna. Since you explicitly did *not* linger on what exactly they put you in, we're officially dying to know now.

    Why is Tom Ford depressed? He got to design Roger Federer's wedding tuxedo. I think - even speaking as someone who's had experience with the clinical kind - that job would snap me out of the depression with the quickness.

    Who's got YouTubes of the AbFab girls in the M&S ads?

    "Commotious." I'm feeling that.
    Kendra must have gone to the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Gud and Who Want to Learn to Do Other Stuff Gud Too. #heidiklum
