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
@Tippi Hedren: A little ways downthread I figured she must be a graduate of the Center for Kids Who Can't Read Gud and Who Want to Learn to Do Other Stuff Gud Too. #heidiklum
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
Well, Mr. Mondino, don't you worry, because I'm pretty sure that the French are going to pay just as much attention to these "retouched" labels as they do to those warnings that tell you to avoid eating between meals that are pasted onto commercials for Haribo candies. #ragtrade
@browngirlinthering: is it? ok being wrong is my instant karma for being an asshole in the first place. But I still kind of doubt that an investigatory/investigative journalist is backstage sneakily trying to find out what she does in her spare time. #heidiklum
@lilbobbytables: I know, right? That tree'll be the best dressed thing in the territories this season.
I wonder if he'll make it some lingerie. #heidiklum
I've worked as a cleaning lady to make ends meet. If an employer barred me from using a tool that made my job easier in order to appease some retarded sense of environmental altruism, her toothbrush would get a couple of swishes in the toilet. #vogue
The idea of working without pay on an organic farm is enough to give someone a brain cloud just thinking about it. Farmworkers don't have it bad enough already without Vogue do gooders taking their jobs? I need a drink. #vogue
@krismry: To be fair, wwoofing is pretty popular among my demographic: broke college students looking for something to do during break. A lot of family farms (they're not entirely extinct yet) actually count on employing wwoofers during the summer. #vogue
@gwenhwyfar: Yeah, my brother did this last summer on an organic farm a couple of hours outside of the city where we live. He actually did it partially in preparation for the Master's in environmental science that he's now pursuing. He worked for room and board and had the best summer of his whole life, and I think he may end up with an organic farm of his own one day. #vogue
@yearofthewoman: Just to confirm what everyone else has been saying. Friends of mine have spent long summers travelling around France one farm at a time via the wwoofing network. You get to live a lifestyle and in a place that most 'tourists' never get to see, receive bed and board in exchange for your work. So while it doesn't pay anything, it doesn't cost anything, and you can have a virtually free trip. #vogue
