I'm sad to admit I know this, but the True Jackson line kind of makes sense. It's a TV show about a teenage girl who gets hired as a VP of a fashion company which makes pretty inoffensively non-descript high fashion. Greg Proopst plays her boss and my step-sister watches it religiously.
Perez Hilton regularly calls women skanks and hos without any legal repercussions, and yet this woman goes to court to try to uncover the anonymous blogger who did exactly the same thing - and now she is free to sue the anon blogger for defamation? Is there something I'm missing?
@heykoukla: I think the sole purpose of the blog that she was suing about was to defame her. Perez goes after lots of women (and men). I think this blog was just about the model in question.
I dont understand why people were so critical of Cohen's lawsuit. She wasn't suing web commentators or a general celebrity blogger, she was suing someone who made a site specifically to insult, criticize and harass her. It consisted of no news, just photos of her with vicious insults.
It's not like suing some guy for catcalling you, it's like suing some guy who was stalking and threatening you for several months.
@Katxyz: Well, I didn't say a blogger was stalking or threatening her. I drew a comparison to show a degree of a damage, hence the "its not like X, it's like Y." Reading comprehension, please.
So, what now, I can sue all the people who called me a bitch/skank/etc. on the internet. Come on. Grow some thicker skin. People will call you names/talk about you in front of your face and behind your back. It's what people do. Most of us have done it.
@Evie Havok: So, if there was an entire blog dedicated to shadowing your movements and calling you a fucking slut/whore/cunt, and it was the first thing that came up when someone (family, future lovers, future employers) googled your name, you'd be ok with that?
Another thing that may be a problem with Ann Taylor-they make clothes up to size 18, available ONLY online. I was told by a sales associate in a NY store that they rarely get stock in the store above size 12. And yes, I felt judged.
@lambchop123: Ann Taylor always struck me as a cousin of Talbot. The clothes were a tad more updated, but predictable and not particularly well made for the price points.
Ann Taylor would get more of my business by designing their "Loft" line for a slightly younger crowd. I would like to shop there more often for work because the clothes are perfect business casual and fit me well, however, I don't like to wear bright colors or huge floral prints--and I don't know many other people who feel like professionals when wearing such gaudy things. I was under the impression that ATL was a line for professional women in their 20s and 30s, so when I see some of prints and colors they produce, I can't help but wonder if I was misinformed.
All of a sudden, the ballroom fell dark! A scream pierced the night. The crowd panicked: bodies jostling, jewels clinking, booze spilling. With a buzzing flicker, the room illuminated once again.
"Mhfhdjsh!" Some unfortunate woman lay on the floor, a burlap sack enveloping her. Some gentleman stepped forward and removed it, revealing a disheveled Paris Hilton in a truly heinous sequin and feather mini dress, accompanied by high-heeled Converse and the carcass of a mongoose slung over her shoulder.
"Oh no!" a woman gasped, her society drawl quivering, "The Big Gunn has attacked again!"
The room tittered to silence. In the gloom, an echoing "Make it woooooork," could be heard.

"Get thicker skin" doesn't really work when people are barraging you with insults on a regular basis.

Plus the music in there makes me want to stab myself in the ears.

And I think all of Limited's troubles stem from filling Express stores with the ugliest shit known to womankind.
