* Style Bloggers Apologize for Being So Awkward in Person

The lovely Garance, Susie, and Camille

Our favorite bloggers have left their desks and are all over New York Fashion Week. We spotted Susie Bubble at Tom Scott and Camille of Childhood Flames at the Matthew Ames show. Also out on the town is Paris-based Garance Doré who has been busy snapping lush pics of New York’s stylish set. Following up with their coverage, we have noticed a common theme of said bloggers writing about being greeted by amorous fans and humility ensues. Ms. Bubble comments, “YAY! I have readers in New York! I apologise for sounding so flustered and awkward when people come up to me. I’m a hardcore geek who can’t communicate with real human beings.” Likewise, Camille writes, “Apologies for being terribly awkward in person but I definitely appreciate you guys reading the blog and it’s so fantastic to meet some of my readers! You are all so lovely!”

This sort of bashfulness from the girls who regularly post images of themselves in amazing, sharp outfits for the world to see. Such a conundrum! While blogging is a very personal art form, actually getting out from behind the computer and realizing there are legions of people who actually read and follow every word and image is quite another thing. Maybe best said by Ms. Doré, “I turn around and someone jumps on me asking me if I am Garance Doré, and I assure you, it’s a little weird..”

* Drew Barrymore’s Hairstylist Deems Bloggers “Incompetent.”

Posted on January 17th, 2009 by Joyce Tota. Filed under Beauty.


Oh the backlash. Ever since Drew Barrymore showed up to the Golden Globes with a hairstyle that rivaled Tippi Hedren’s post-attack ‘do in The Birds, blogs have been ringing with adverse commentary on the Marilyn-inspired hairstyle. The Totam first reported on Barrymore’s Globes’ style here.

The man responsible for the askew updo is Italian hairstylist Giannandrea, who has worked in fashion for “20 years” and has responded to the negative blogger feedback that has descended on his work. “I try not to read blogs because there are a lot of mean people out there who are very incompetent in beauty and styling,” he said. “When I read some bloggers, they are clueless. Some people debated if it was too much for the Golden Globes, but I thought it is the Golden Globes and you can have a little more fun with the hair.”

Oh the cattiness. Yes, most bloggers do not have degrees from the Vidal Sassoon Academy, but then again, it’s hair. Anyone who has picked up a hairbrush or a blowdryer is an authority in our book. One of the good-humored aspects about these award shows is bestowing these frivolous “Best and Worst” accolades. Sometimes it’s a hit, sometimes it’s a miss, twenty years in fashion be damned. Giannandrea may have been having more fun with Drew’s hair, but bloggers are having their fun too (clueless and incompetent ones included).
