"What role the rival corporation play Vogue's documentary?"

Reported by FashionWeek Daily, Wednesday, May 27, 2009(NEW YORK)

"Fashion insiders have been tittering over The September Issue, and not only for all the usual reasons. Turns out that several Hearst insiders have boasted that the documentary, which casts a cold stare on Condé Nast flagship title Vogue, was co-produced by Actual Reality Pictures as well as A&E IndieFilms, which is owned by the Hearst Corporation. The documentary production arm of A&E Networks, A&E IndieFilms has released such films as American Teen, Murderball, and Jesus Camp. A&E Networks, in turn, fits alongside ESPN, Lifetime, King Features cartoon distributors and more under the vast umbrella of Hearst Entertainment and Syndication, an operating group of the Hearst Corporation. Given the scope of the corporation's interest, it's unlikely that Cathie Black gave the project any sort of greenlight. But still--do we sense some synergy?"

Real Simple - Are You Wearing the Right Bra Size?

Q. How can I determine which size bra I should be wearing?

A. If your bras leave red marks or are just plain uncomfortable, chances are you’re wearing the wrong size. Sandi Simon of the Bra Smyth stores, in New York and New Jersey, says that if you don’t have access to a specialty fitting store, then an at-home measurement can give you a good idea of whether your current bra is sized correctly. There are two measurements you need to determine: band size and cup size. To find them, put on your best-fitting unpadded bra and stand in front of a mirror, holding a tape measure.

Band size: With the tape measure, measure around the top of your rib cage, directly under your bust. Be sure to keep the tape evenly horizontal to get the most accurate number possible. When you have the measurement, round it off to the nearest whole number. If the number is even, add 4 inches; if it’s odd, add 5 inches. Your band size is the sum of this calculation. (So if you measured 32 inches, your band size is 36. If you measured 33 inches, your band size is 38.)

Cup size: Place the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust, again making sure that it stays as even as possible around your body. You also want the tape to be snug without digging into your skin. Round that measurement to the nearest even number and calculate the difference in inches between this number and your band size. A difference of 1 inch equals an A cup; 2 inches equals a B cup; 3 inches equals a C cup; and 4 inches equals a D cup. So if you measured a 36 band in the first step and you measured a 38 here, your cup size is B. ―Elinor Smith

Stuart Weitzman Sale Starts Tomorrow

See Ms. Wintour’s On 60 Minutes This Sunday

We all are hoping to see Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue on 60 Minutes this Sunday. Reported by NY Mag's - The Cut - "Morley Safer followed Anna Wintour around with his 60 Minutes cameras for about six months. Cut spies first spotted them at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards dinner in November. Morley then went with Anna to Fashion Week in New York, Milan and Paris. The segment should finally air this Sunday in 60 Minutes's season finale, provided it doesn't get pulled. Why did they wait so long to air the story? We hear they also followed Anna to the Met Ball, which was only last week, as you know. The segment is only twelve minutes long so we hope that fancy party footage makes it in."
