Bitter intellectual? M’kay. The bitterness is evident. Public assessment of oneself as an intellectual is not very polite. I prefer humility, introspection, and plain ol’ shit talk over self-aggrandizement. Or is it your wish to alienate us common folk from discourse? Sometimes the peanut gallery actually does have something to offer. Sometimes.

Tavi grates my nerves like you wouldn’t believe. Get rid of her.

Although with a more recent glance, it would appear that now she is only going ‘to contribute’ …

So what exactly is Tavi Gevinson’s role in the website?
Jane: Tavi is going to contribute. We haven’t even figured out what her first post is going to be at this point, she might interview somebody. But she’s going to contribute to this.

I think Tavi’s ‘arm’ of the website is coming in Sep / October … I can’t recall the title but it was certainly something like, The Little Acorn or, I had a Little Nutshell … perhaps …

She’s trying SO HARD. It just screams of trying too hard, it’s painful to read.

I’m hoping the reason Tavi isn’t involved is because she realized how horrible it is.

Sister – of all the pop-culture-y blogs out there, I actually quite like this one: http://www.nogoodforme.com.

It might have large amounts of cool-person worship, but unlike Jane Pratt and her cohort of suckups, it’s not moronic (I don’t mean to damn it with faint praise -it’s really quite enjoyable).

Sounds peachy perfect! Bitter Intellectuals says it all.

Am guilty of having started sentences with ‘so’ but an ‘so’ prepared to be strung up by a bitter intellectual, it will be a badge of honour.

In fact you could have a ‘badge of honour’ award for those who dare to blog against the fashion establishment etc.

yeah i’m so serious about this, i’ve been wanting to start something like it for awhile but never get anything done on my own. and your blog is one of my favorites even though i basically just lurk. maybe we should start a mailing list.

also i work retail and i was telling my manager the other day about all the phrases that you never wanted to hear again such as “statement piece” and “rocking” and he definitely appreciated it.
