    Costume: Julia Child (or, Meryl Streep as Julia Child)
    What You'll Need: Mouse-brown wig with short loose curls, blouse with a somewhat suggestive neckline, skirt (on the tighter side, above knees), apron (or kitchen towel tucked into skirt), strands of pearls, pearl earrings, wooden spoon and other kitchen tools in apron pocket. Extra: Prop glass of wine.
    Works Best For: Tall women or men who are not skinny.
    Bonus: Annoy everyone around you by speaking the entire evening in Child’s distinctive hooty falsetto.

    Hm, I like the first one, but I worry it would just come across as "Puffy Patrick Bateman." Or, worse, I used to work at McKinsey, so "Puffy 4-Years-Ago Me." Eeek, maybe I'll just be a toilet paper mummy again. #halloween

    Damnit. I am so being Anna Wintour (she was the backup for my first choice, Lady Gaga) and was really happy you hadn't mentioned her. Now you ruined it! I was really looking forward to giving people disapproving looks all night while standing in a corner with my arms crossed. #halloween

    @TableNein: Or, alternatively, you could make your own copies of the major rags with crayons, just so that the point is made (esp. if you WERE in print media and now are not); kind of poignant I think.

    Nice costume idea, in any case!

    @son of spam: This thread was actually quite an awesome read - Fuckingoldman is indeed a stereotypical jerkface ('You need to get laid'? Hey, Tucker Max called for you, he has an assistant asshat job with your name on it) but Red Vadge - Wowza, that costume means "I hate women"? You're kinda winning the troll wars here, which is impressive.

    Also, those ARE the magazines that got canned from Conde Nast, or are covered in Gawker as having serious budget issues/are hemorrhaging staff members on a very regular basis. I'd take up the sexism with the publishers. #halloween

    Just went over to Forbes to read up on Si -- didn't realize that he lost almost 50% of his net worth in the past year. I'd say "Poor guy!" if he weren't still worth $4.5 Billion.

    This site may be geared towards the heteros, but give it time. With enough revenue shortage, I can easily see an Adam4Adam style hook-up/porn site in the Conde future.

    Sort of like publishing whores meets actual whores.

    As a former Gourmet employee (pre Conde) and longtime subscriber, this is sad. Not surprising as Ruth Reichl, while a capable restaurant critic, never really was able to capture a consistent look or theme to the publication. In fact, of late, Gourmet started to revert back to some of what made it a great magazine under the direction of the MacAusland family.

    From the penthouse at the Plaza to the Conde Nast trash can in Times Square...Gourmet it was quite a ride! Adieu!
