I initially interned there while I was at NYU, and was hired after graduating because I'd impressed my boss. (I also knew how to play the Conde Nast game, requiring looking, sounding, and acting in a particular way.) I enjoyed the job because I was writing and editing, which are two of my few talents, but the…

I haven't followed her in the years since the magazine closed (2009), other than to note that she's continued to be held tightly in the bosom of Anna Wintour's favorites (meaning a series of cushy, well-paid, minimal-work gigs at prestigious mags), but she wrote about men's style for us and most of it was just about…

Take it from someone who worked at Men's Vogue: Amanda Brooks is insufferable.

Wouldn't the median be more relevant? This number could be thrown off by outliers.

Except that the brands flinging thousands in shoes and clothes at her might be annoyed to discover that they ended up at Ina.

If I spill anywhere while eating, it's on my chest, so—often.

Personally, I wouldn't want to put myself at risk of spilling hot food on my boobs in public.

I know the family that purchased her gorgeous Turkey Hill house in Westport, CT, and then proceeded to change everything about it. I bet they don't even harvest their own eggs!

Mark me down as a freak whose hangovers have mellowed with age. Granted, I'm still only 27, but I can do things that were formerly verboten—mix different liquors, drink lots and lots of wine—and bounce back the next morning with just a bit of a headache, ready and raring to go. Yet in college, I can remember spending…

Angela Basset's sequined harem pants are "sleek and chic"?

You've also buried the lede that the bag featured in this ad is a blatant ripoff of the Celine luggage tote! I'm assuming since this is Prada it is "commentary" (barf).

As if Cornell didn't have enough to be embarrassed about.

Let's just cut the crap and admit that this kid, like so many, is serving as an involuntary human vehicle for mom and dad's ambitions. It's just a fashion version of the parents who do all but hold their children at knifepoint while studying so they can crack the Ivies. While the kids often develop a…

What comes off as racist is the need to jump through hoops to appease people who are enraged that Johnny Depp is playing someone of a different culture (i.e., being an actor). If only Native Americans could play NAs, then forget about any mainstream movies concerning NAs: there are no bankable stars that I'm aware of…

What did Vogue do to Katy Perry? Wistful in a meadow is not her look.

Rose McGowan looks like an Upper East Side socialite who has applied that bee-sting lip plumper stuff to her entire face.

I don't understand, and cannot support, her makeup choices.

I only met Ms. Tollman once, when she and I were at Interview, and I remember being genuinely taken aback at how nice she was—like, why is this person being kind to me, when everyone else is a raging egomaniac? (This was during the Sandy Brant and Ingrid Sischy Reign of Terror and Sadness.)

What's the problem with such a proposal? It doesn't require unlearning one's own language and culture, only a small concession to the country from whom you are asking the benefits and burdens of citizenship. Educating children who don't have English spoken at home has become a huge burden for poor school districts,…

I don't feel bad at all. This project deserved to fail miserably. When you ask the world, 99.9999999% of which is poorer and less connected than you, for money you don't need, to support a pet project that probably sucks (considering you aren't willing to spend your own money on it), for absolutely no discernible…
