The Evening Standard ran a piece today about how glossy magazines like Vogue and Tatler are still going strong in the UK. "Compared to the calamitous situation in the United States..." [tinyurl.com]
@raincoaster: Well the Evening Standard just became a free paper, which on the one hand feels wrong, but on the other hand has in just a few weeks stamped out the other free afternoon papers, thank god. #media
@BowlingForDollars: In the future there will be no web, only large iphone-styled eReaders. Just like print but with clickable text and animated imagery. And popups. Lots and lots of popups. #media
@BowlingForDollars: I guess it depends on their readership, or lack of it.
If they are geared towards an older demographic, then its just wasted time online activity. From the cover articles on this particular one, it seems its base is 40+. #media
My People rep just sent out a good-bye email today, so I'm assuming that while they offered buy-outs to the editorial staff, they just plain laid off some of the sales staff. #media
They used Windex, aka ammonia, as their clean, fresh smell. They suggest piping it into offices and houses. The happy people of Bhopal would like a word with you, Utah. #smells
If this is true, then the northeast corner of Lex and 86th should be the epicenter of unfairness and greed. PetCo refuse mixing with JambaJuice orange rinds, wafted upwards from the Lex line subway grates and fusing with the taco truck scents, makes for a sublime summer afternoon walk-by. #smells
HamNo, New York might smell not so clean and fresh, but you can get a drink on every corner and you cannot do that near Brigham Young and I never figured you for a Massengill man, baby, so on your knees and say you love it. #smells
Uh, not to be Debbie Downer, but there's a reason why you wait a trimester before telling people. Especially if you're 38.
The cynic in me says she isn't pregnant and there is going to be a very sad arc of her new show dealing with a miscarriage. The hopeful undead part of my heart is crossing my fingers and knocking on wood because whew honey. You are 38. #bethennyfrankel
@Atilla the Bun: Is it? I'm nearing that box and from what I've heard it's not only being that age; it's also never having a child before that raises the risk (though who knows. Maybe B. had a kid at some point that was adopted or something). #bethennyfrankel
@Trulymadlyme: The chances of having a miscarriage before the age of 35 are 15%. Between the ages of 35-45, it's 20-35%, with the percentage going up as the age goes up.
It's certainly higher-risk than if she were 20, but it still does not exactly qualify as truly "high risk." My sister just carried and had a baby at 38 and she was concerned about complications because of her age, but it was not considered a high-risk pregnancy. #bethennyfrankel
