Thing #825 that I hate: magazine articles about the so-called “most stylish” or “best dressed” celebrities.

Us Weekly just did a piece on the “Most Stylish New Yorkers” (insert eye roll here). New York City is one of the world’s most foremost meccas of fashion. Every time I hop the train and visit the city, I marvel at how well dressed and stylish many of the strangers who simply brush past me on the street look. Of all the well dressed people in New York… of all the stylish celebrities in the city… Us Weekly singled SANDRA LEE AND BOBBY FLAY out as two of the 27 MOST stylish.

First things first: people of the world, please don’t be naive enough to think the celebrities included in the list are there because they are stylish. They are there because they have PR teams working very hard to get them, and keep them, in the news.

Bobby Flay? Most stylish? He doesn’t know how to wear anything other than a black suit jacket. Nothing different, nothing interesting, just a simple, boring black suit jacket. Using that logic, the guy who works at your neighborhood funeral home must be “most stylish” too.

And Sandra Lee? SERIOUSLY? Who are her people f**king at Us Weekly? She’s dating a governor and now she thinks she’s the next Jackie O.

Back to the drawing board, Us Weekly. Back to the drawing board.

(thanks for the heads up, Michelle!)
