“This woman from Harper Studio comes in and asks what blogs are popular right now and they get book deals the next day.”
Is this gem (dropped in the middle of a Rumpus interview of Meaghan) hilarious? Innovative? Efficient? Scary?

I find that Band of Horses song, “No One’s Gonna Love You” SO RUDE!
No one is ever gonna love you more than I do ?!?!

Does my ipod play that...

Reader of the Month! When I read of Nina Garcia’s interminable supply of vintage Chanel jackets, of course I was wildly jealous—who wouldn’t be? But they’re well deserved. Kudos to MC on fusing fun fashion with thought-provoking articles. September’s issue was amazing. Joan M., New York, NY (Marie Claire, November 2009)
