How Women Can Have It All

As you get older, you start to figure things out. I’ve spent months looking at and contemplating this copy of The Atlantic that is somehow always on my desk, and I’ve come to some conclusions. Here are some thoughts on ways you, personally, can “have it all.” More »

Surprise! Vogue’s ‘Health Initiative’ Covers Aren’t So Body Positive

Surprise! Vogueâs âHealth Initiativeâ Covers Arenât So Body Positive

In honor of their new Health Initiative (i.e. to stop knowingly featuring anorexic models), all June issues of Vogue were themed around healthy living—a valiant effort that you’d have no idea they were making, judging by the thin supermodels covering all but two of their 19 international editions.

Vogue’s Olympic Issue: Celebrating Male Athletes and Female…Models

Vogueâs Olympic Issue: Celebrating Male Athletes and Femaleâ¦Models

Vogue‘s June issue is a special Olympic-themed issue, devoted to celebrating the athletes with shoots like Annie Leibowitz‘s “Country Strong” and Bruce Weber‘s “Wonder Women.” But from the cover–which features Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte flanked by Hope Solo and Serena Williams—to the shoots, it’s hard not to notice how strongly the issue glorifies male athletes…and female models.

Did you read that article about the magazine editor (Judith Griggs) who stole a blogger’s article for her magazine? And then when the blogger asked her what happened, and suggested a donation to her journalism school, Judith Griggs told her that the entire web was public domain, and that the blogger should pay her for editing it? And this exchange ended up on Gawker maybe five minute later? Jesus Christ, this is why print will die. Not because the web is public domain. Because the olds no longer understand how the world works.

Anyhow, I wanted to do a gallery called “Ways I Think Judith Griggs Should Get Told” (with finger snapping, without finger snapping, etc.) but we’re a fashion and beauty website. So, in honor of her, here are some celebrities who have ripped off other celebrities’ style. More »
