"Anna Wintour is as picky with words as she is with her wardrobe. According to one Vogue-er, "They are expanding the Vogue Web site and getting more involved with the Internet. But Anna hates the word ‘blog’ so much, she refuses to call anything on her site a blog and has charged her staff with coming up with a new word that isn’t as garish-sounding. She wants it ASAP - in time for launch." However, a source close to Wintour said, "Anna just doesn’t want people to refer to stories as blogs, because they’re not. It’s an improper use of the word." A rep said, "Anna has nothing against blogs."
Anna Wintour is a crotchety, old fart fuddy-duddy. Fashion is about trends, especially to fashion magazines, and "blog" is cool, in, state-of-the-art, and wicked awesome. Word?
The funny thing is she wants to definitely use blogs, but not give bloggers the respect we clearly deserve. Don’t you see that here? Oh, she’s above "blog." Tuh.
It should prove berry berry interesting what term her staff comes up with for their online ‘zine. Will it be cool at all? Will it be a usual English term, anyway? Stay tuned to Style.com/Vogue
