“I’d just been on a trip to Minnesota, where I can only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses.”

The infamous flabaphobe and editor-in-chief of Vogue, Anna Wintour, in a 60 Minutes interview explaining how Minnesotans look like split-levels.

I don’t know when or where this picture was taken, or how in God’s name these two came to be in the same room, let alone sitting directly next to each other, but we all need to start talking about it, pronto.

Go.

You can always count on Anna Wintour to emerge from her crypt and show her face during Fashion Week. The occasion even warranted a rare smile. Okay, it’s a half smile, but she tried.

Here’s the Devil herself at the cocktail party for the Ralph Lauren show, with Ralph and Ricky Lauren.

Not sure why I’m so obsessed with her. But I am.

This is not how you get on Anna Wintour’s good side, guys.

Per usual, Anna Wintour’s right. According to Page Six, “They are expanding the Vogue Web site and getting more involved with the Internet. But Anna hates the word ‘blog’ so much, she refuses to call anything on her site a blog and has charged her staff with coming up with a new word that isn’t as garish-sounding. She wants it ASAP – in time for launch.” You know, it’s true, the word “blog” is awkward and totally unglamorous, and the only word more annoying is “blogosphere.”

Someone inside Vogue wanted to clarify: “Anna just doesn’t want people to refer to stories as blogs, because they’re not. It’s an improper use of the word.”

That’s so true; nothing annoys me more than people who are like “Oh, yes, I wrote a blog this morning, and I’m going to write another one tonight.” (Actually, that’s not true; Sanjaya Malakar annoys me more.) No no no. They’re blog entries or posts or something. The “blog” is the entire entity, not what composes it.

I really hope that Anna has, in fact, tasked her staff with coming up with a new, hip word for “blog.” Anyone have any ideas for a next-gen term for “blog?”
