The newest media mystery blogger: "Jolie in NYC"
Following in the quasi-anonymous footsteps of the Washingtonienne, Gawkerist and TMFTML is bloggerista Jolie In NYC, a “pop culture-obsessed beauty editor in the big city.” Jolie writes mostly about celebrities (she has a Nick-and-Jessica breakup blog on the side that is both amusing and informative), but she also dishes on her life as a beauty editor, reminding us that the stiletto-happy halls of fashion & beauty mags are lined with swag:
Beauty is even more decadent than fashion, since beauty companies have so much more money to throw around on press trips, free products, and gratuitous gifts… My boss (and sometimes even I, only a mid-level editor) regularly gets Marc Jacobs wallets and coats, plane ticket vouchers, iPods, overnight stays at the Mandarin Oriental, year-long gym memberships, and — of course — all the free highlights and haircuts your poor dyed, straightened and styled hair can stand.
