Marie Claire Article

So since I am now obsessed with Jen Lancaster (Thanks ladies) I check her blog all the time

I am shocked that this Marie Claire article was even published.

Thoughts?

And Jen (one of many people's) responses:

Re: Marie Claire Article

  • I read that blog of Jen's yesterday, too. Marie Claire has been publishing some stupid, well, sh*t, lately - they attacked Healthy Living bloggers a couple of weeks ago, including on my my local blogger friends, and it was insane. 

    It's like their writers (I won't dare call them journalists) are a bunch of high school bitches.

    I completely agree with Jen's take on things. She's my hero.

  • Also, since you're now a fan of Jen Lancaster, did you know that I met her? Completely GEEKED out about it - and she knew who I was {since I guess I'm kind of stalker... er, a huge fan}

    Story and all the pics are here if you wish:

  • She is my hero too. I think I'm going to stalk her since she now lives like 10 minutes from my office, anyways I can't can't can't believe it. I was never a big Marie Claire fan, but now I'm def. not.

    BTW Lindsay, I just emailed you xoxox o

  • Marie Claire has been coming under fire for years and this article is just a string of horrible crap that they continue to publish.  I'm not sure why advertisers haven't pulled out or how the magazine continues to exist.

     

  • I didn't read the original article but I heard about it on one of the boards. I love Jen's response. I can't believe the editors let that be published, how did they not see this coming?!

  • Wow. She didn't think she'd offend anyone?!
  • I am so disappointed that an article like that was published. She actually says people in that weight range "disgust" her? And thinks that they probably have a lot of control over it? This b*tch is grossly uneducated. I see the part where she's struggled with her own eating issues, but come on, that's no excuse. If anything she should have been more sensitive. I hope this impact's Marie Claire's revenue. WTF! Love Jen's response though. Might have to use this for my own blog later.

    Me too! I have all but the last season on dvd, it's on my list this year for Christmas even though the last season was 'off'' to me.

  • That is nutso!

    I believe the ladies over on H&F had a shitfit when Marie Claire ran an article about a month ago that slammed Health and Fitness bloggers and some convention.  I think the same girl Maura might have written it.  Let me go see if I can find it...

     

    ETA: Here it is.

    I have the first 5 seasons on DVD!  I really want the rest, and I keep hinting to DH about them!

  • Okay, the article about the health and fitness bloggers...that's ridiculous too! How idiotic! So people are either too fat or too fitnessy for them. I hope they lose revenue too.

    Yep. And I was at Healthy Living Summit. I'm personal friends with Kath & Caitlin (cait & I live in the same neighborhood) and was BLOWN AWAY when that article came out. Completely poor & unethical journalism.
