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
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
The Alexander shoe looks like a covered stiletto platform, but honestly, the design could quite easily be similar to what I've been seeing in fetish circles for years:
@Nico Deyo: Yeah, it reminded me of a ballet boot when I first saw it too. It is much more curved in front, though, so I could imagine the inner structure going either way. #katemossfortopshop
@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: That's what my boyfriend thinks. I, however, feel that the foot must sit a little lower — since in all the pics, it looks like the thinnest part of the leg, ie slightly above the ankle, is right equal with the top of the shoe. The heel of the foot, according to my theory, would sit somewhere near where the stiletto meets the back of the shoe. You follow? #katemossfortopshop
@Jenna: You know, looking at the picture, I think the line I drew more accurately represents where the top line of a regular heel would be. Meaning, the foot would actually sit lower than the line. I think you are right. I would still like to see a cross section though, I think it probably has teeny tiny unicorns in the sole.

@ModelLiberation: On the other hand, she is making it sound like big breasts, bigger thighs and toned arms are somewhat *better* than small breasts and skinny arms and legs. A person can be skinny and not unhealthy. #katemossfortopshop
@Name of Numbers: Where did she say they were *better*? The "sound" you are hearing is your own inference that she is body-snarking on skinny folks.
Man, I am so tired of "well, she's IMPLYING this or SUGGESTING that" when all the commenter is doing is setting off another Jezebel's hair-trigger "I'm offended" button about whateverthefuck issue. #katemossfortopshop
@Shotrock: Well, saying she looks "too healthy" to model now implies current models do NOT look very healthy, and generally unhealthy is negative. It's not a huge leap to the conclusion. #katemossfortopshop
