The Blogger or The Editor

So the latest scandal on the runways is not how thin the models are, or who fell over (whenever I write this I have thoughts of boys singing “who fell over” in a sort of football song chant. How annoying!!!) It’s that fact that Little Miss Tavi Gevinson blocked Paula Reeds view at the Dior Haute Couture!! Firstly, Tavi is 13 and therefore should have been in school not in Paris. Second of all I don’t really know how I feel about the situation. All I know is that the story is everywhere.

One half of me, the Angel or the Devil I have yet to decide, is on Team Editor. I mean its Haute Couture not Bendles. Paula lives and breathes in the Fashion Industry, she is older and therefore much wiser and has the maturity to talk about Couture (if you could see the inside of my head now, you will see that I view Haute Couture as this ancient ritual that helped shaped the world and Ready-to-wear is it’s Great Granddaughter-I don’t know what came in between them but that’s how it is in my noggin). Tavi has no need for Couture in her life so why was she even there. She lives in the Chicago suburbs and she could hardly wear a Galliano creation for 4th period maths now, could she? And the bow was a bit silly, even if it was Stephen Jones. Why should these people who have worked their butts of their whole life be placed second to people who just blog. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to be sent all colours of freebies and sit front row but I just wouldn’t feel right knowing I had stolen it from somebody who truly deserves it.

Now my other side. Social media is the new black (see told you I constantly think about PR) and with or without the special treatment from PR’s those pesky bloggers are just going to keep on blogging. HHmm, maybe if I blog really bad things about Vivienne Westwood she will find out and invite me to her offices and give me her entire collection for free. Or maybe she won’t. I’m not going to risk it. Anyway back to my point. Bloggers will keep on typing so why not keep them sweet so they only write good things. It’s a very effective way of keeping control over what’s written and totally eliminates negative press. But I do think that consideration should be taken into what events these bloggers go to. Haute Couture-not appropriate for Tavi. Met Ball-totally not appropriate for any blogger.

Another topic for debate is why guys don’t appreciate ice-cream the way us ladies do?? It can solve wars don’t you know!!!
