A clip from Mean Girls
Can't resist another comment about Fashion World! Just reading about the furore over Daphne Guinness calling Victoria Beckham nasty names. Just want to tell people this: That quote is solid gold. When Camilla Long filed her copy to her editors at the Sunday Times, the place will have lit up like Blackpool Illuminations. Lawyers, editors, MDs etc will have run around verifying the quote and then hitting the bottle to celebrate. How many extra hits/purchases must the Sunday Times have received yesterday? It's mind-boggling. Murdoch owes Camilla Long way more than he must have paid her for that article.
I hate the way non-journos like Daphne claim journalists make things up. These days you just cannot make stuff up. Editors, lawyers, Legal Directors, Publishers breathe fire down your neck every step of the way. You can't invent quotes like Daphne Guinness's. If only!!!!!! But you really, really can't.
Bugger...now i have to find out what Daphne Guinness said!
ReplyDeleteyou are right, but also consider this:
ReplyDeleteIF the vile quotes were accurate,
WHY would Long be dumb enough to ruin any future interview chances by actually printing them?
Now nobody will feel safe in Longs' presence, and she will find it hard to get another date.
Murdoch morals are contagious.
