A distaster…
Features | Michele Obi | May 16, 2007
Hey Najuba,
This is one of the best emails I’ve received in a while! I agree 110%. The problem is Harpers are responding to the majority… they are giving the masses what they want and its unlikely they’d feature these airhead bimbo’s if they didn’t think they would sell, either that or they’re being compensated with a large sum of money. I believe the only way Paris and Nicole and the rest of their cronies can be completely eradicated from the spotlight will be when the majority stop obsessing over their uneventful lives which consists on the whole of pantiless partying. Until then I’m afraid it’s likely that we will have to endure them on the covers of these so called “respectable” fashion magazines for a while. However your wish is my command and if anyone else feels as strongly as Najuba about this and wishes to make a change please leave a comment showing your support!
Best,
Michele

Totally agree with this comment, That two girls are famous because of stupid girls who follom them, we should totally vanished, Please tell me what they have done for the movie or etertamient industry?… Nothing at all!! and we see them in every fashion ad magazine; they say they are fashion icons, they appear in every review of best dress list, come on !!! Totally a shame for Hapers Bazzar… I hope that Anna Wintour do not put them in a cover because it would be an insult.
cute dogs though….
I agree completely. They have no place on the cover of Bazaar
Indeed.
Martha: 9:15 am, yes, they ARE cute dogs, and the puppies are sweet, too.
Harper’s Bazaar has gone down the drain slowly and sadly since the former Editor in Chief, Liz Tilberis died. Remember the new logo and magazine redesign? Well that Editor in Chief got fired and they went back to the classic masthead. They must be desperate now for readership and sales. It’s clear. I mean is this Bazaar or US???
Look up the history of Harper’s Bazaar with their innovated graphic design, famous art directors, and amazing photographers and this is a sad period in their timeline. I hope they survive.
I don’t know exactly when the transition from supermodel to Hollywood celebs and unedumacted socialites became the norm for covergirls. I can say with certainly, just as fashion and design has gone down the crapper since celebs started dictating fashion (and designing it) so too will the print fashion magazines that have chosen to follow in the footsteps of Star and Us. How sad, we expected more from Bazaar.
YES, this cover is a travesty and nearly enough to make me cancel my Bazaar subscription! Hideous, and with no relevance to fashion. Glenda Bailey’s tenure has been an unmitigated disaster, in my opinion.
I think that we should all step back a moment and bite our tongues, or chops in Paris’s poochies case.
Now I know that it is so easy to get onto the bandwagon and throw our fashion daggers at wonderful icons such as Paris or Nicole, or the miniature dogs… (what are their bloody names anyway?!)
Anyhow, I strongly imply the merit of Paris and Nicole. They worked hard to get their clothes given to them by their stylists and carry those heavy dogs. Let’s give them a break!!
I think Paris Hilton has been featured in Harper’s Bazaar before, dressed by various designers, including Michael Kors. The concept of the article was “let’s get some top designers to dress Paris tastefully” and the result was a credit to the designers. I didn’t bother with her interview, I don’t think either of them have any sense of style ,but I suppose they are a challenge for styling editors. However, NOT ON MY HARPER’S BAZAAR! It used to be my favourite American fashion magazine! Maybe I’ll stick with the greek edition and fashion blogs! Hopefully, the publishers will take note.
i can’t bazaar would even consider such trash on there wounderful magazine;
I seen ashow of them paris and nicole it made want to beat the dog shit righ uot of them they travel and good people let them stay in there homes and the only thing these people got was disrespect; We all would love to have someone famous visit our homes but with respect of us and our lives it could have been a fun thing but these to show nothing of the kind ./ These two would’nt have lasted 15 mins. because i would have gone competely bollistic on there selfish” rude dumb’disrespful self there family must be so proud of there little girls ha ha . I love bazzar magazine but please this one makes me sick and those two don’t even
have any style to speak of SO WHY”? And what was ?bazaar thinkig and are they trying to ruin there magazine?
