Fashion Week Daily: Tina Asleep at the Wheel

The people at FashionWeekDaily are almost as obsessed with Tina Brown as I am, which is significant. Okay, Question: if you cyberstalk someone and you are really, really talented at it, like I am with Tina ... then, like, are you still stalking or is it just surveillance. Hmmm....


Anyhoo: Here are some of the questions that they think Tina flubbed when she had Plum Sykes on:

"Tina asked: These [Bergdorf blondes] are the girls who are in the party pages of Women�s Wear Daily?
Tina should have asked: The Sykes siblings�there are, like, 10 of you, right?

"Tina asked: Are they going through a phase?
Tina should have asked: What did you eat today?

"Tina asked: What happens if you�re a Bloomingdale�s brunette?
Tina should have asked: And why do you look nothing like your �twin� Lucy?

"Tina asked: Tell me about clinical. Clinically depressed.
Tina should have asked: Do you wear the same shoes twice?"

And on March 20, we said re: Plummy:

"From Aaron Gell's review of Plum Sykes' Bergdorf Blondes, from the April 2004 W:

"Fashionista-cum-muckraker Plum Sykes, who apparently spent years researching her novel Bergdorf Blondes (Miramax Books) by going deep undercover as a glamorous It Girl. The story is told in the voice of a shallow, narcissistic features writer for a major fashion magazine -- a voice Sykes nails with uncanny verisimilitude. Unfortunately, while she name drops all the requisite labels, like the crack fashion caption writer that she once was, the plot she hangs them on is thinner than a Louboutin heel, and nowhere near as sturdy. It centers on the breakup of the heroines' engagement (her moody beau is said to be a stand-in for Sykes' former fiance, Damian Loeb) and her subsequent quest for another PH (prospective husband) who has his very own PJ (private jet)." Charmed, I'm sure.

This Andrew Gell can write (bows in reverence). His snark is pure.
