But...is there anything else she CAN do? She's just being Tina Brown. It worked for a very long time; maybe she's been in shadow long enough that it's come back, like bell bottoms and maxi dresses.

I've just never got her appeal. She's mediocre at best and proof that anyone with a foreign accent can make it in Manhattan media cricles. She reminds me of another blonde of a certain age, hogging the spotlight and well past her sell by date....

For a moment I thought Indianslipper was talking about Helen O'Donnell's feeble 2002 attempt to revive George magazine under the name Common Good (after Caroline refused to let her use the George name).

That's a more apt comparison where Tina's project is concerned.

@IndianSlipper: George. It's stored in the one brain cell I haven't killed yet.

Early buzz didn't work for that Kennedy magazine, and that was a long time ago. Long enough I can't remember the name. That and I smoked away my memory.
