A Treadmill Desk and Some Beyoncé Pedigree

New York magazine senior editor Noreen Malone profiles Joanna Coles

JoannaColesHere is a compliment that, post-Grammys, Kanye West can approve of.

At Cosmopolitan’s recent “Fun Fearless Life” conference, which New York magazine senior editor Noreen Malone attended in support of her profile of Joanna Coles, one attendee said this about the magazine’s current EIC:

“You’re my celebrity spirit animal!” said a woman with a large pink bow in her hair to match her pink floral skirt. “You and Beyoncé. Because you’re basically the white British version of Beyoncé.”

Praise that is a tad clumsy, but still, of a kind we imagine most white women – in the magazine business and beyond – would be happy to receive.
