Comments on: “Fashion Jews” https://godammit.com/fashion-jews/ And I'm getting madder. Sun, 19 Jun 2016 23:30:52 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 By: Cranky Jane https://godammit.com/fashion-jews/comment-page-1/#comment-2735660 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 23:30:52 +0000 http://www.godammit.com/?p=5751#comment-2735660 Desperate to slight Amy Odell, her bad writing, ire that she’s “made it” in (some) part of the writing industry, at all, I revive this post with that angle. By sheer bad luck, I came upon Amy Odell’s New York Post article about her interview with Anna Wintour. August 30, 2015. All comments here are legions higher in quality than what Odell wrote in that article, and, I expect, par for the course, yet she is the online editor for Cosmopolitan now? (Oh, Lawd. I just read her own bio on the Cosmopolitan website. She states she is a feminist).

A read of the Wintour interview is to put to rest all notion that, to be successful, one requires talent. As to her being a feminist? Odell writes and sounds like a jackass, and manages to singlehandedly affirm a lot of public perception about young women, and pretty much seals any question anyone might have had about Cosmopolitan’s fall from what had once been one hell of a magazine, with quality writing, to what it has become. Odell’s writing is peppered with, “I was like…”. More discouraging, a Simon & Schuster editor “found” her on Twitter, and they supported the blasted book she wrote. Why does any of this matter? Because the work world didn’t depend on “likes,” and it, and journalism, (Odell cannot dare call herself a “journalist”), and writing, and newspapers, and magazines were worth something, and because Odell doesn’t get it.

This Mojito Russian Jew is offended by what I see as a racist, and boring, headline.
