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
It's a shame you couldn't mention that the most exciting thing about Looking To Get Out is that it is Hal Ashby's 'lost' film; he directed Shampoo, Harold & Maude, Coming Home, The Last Detail, and Being There. All masterpieces. I like to think readers of Jezebel would find this fact more interesting than a 5-y-o Angelina Jolie, unlike most of the herd. Maybe I'm wrong.
While he was alive, I assume there may have been questions as to the legality of his arrangement. Now that he's gone, I'm sure people are just trying to find a stable home for the children. And given the people with whom he was often surrounded, that looks like a difficult task.
They're his children and by all accounts he was a very good father. Why does paternity matter? The media shitstorm is really, really sad. I almost wish Speidi would do some obnoxious shit just to knock Michael Jackson's affairs off the front of the gossip pages.
@Devonna: So I was up all night last night (this is pathetic, but I haven't been sleeping well since the news broke) and I was watching the BET awards afterparty, and Jamie Foxx said something along the lines of "Really, the media doesn't shape anything about how people think. Because for the last decade the media's been saying 'He's crazy, he's a child molestor, he's an awful man,' and yet when those tickets went on sale he sold 750,000 in TWO HOURS. The media doesn't mean shit." And it's a good point. After the newsdump is over this week, what are we going to remember? The paternity questions, the drug allegations? Or "The Way You Make Me Feel"?
I think it'll be the latter. And I think 90% of the people mourning right now couldn't care less about his private life. They just love him, and they want to celebrate their love.
