Well, Ms. "Devil Wears Prada" muse herself, Anna Wintour, is as picky with words as she is with her wardrobe.
Page Six reports that, according to one "Vogue-er", "They are expanding the Vogue Web site and getting more involved with the Internet. But Anna hates the word 'blog' so much, she refuses to call anything on her site a blog and has charged her staff with coming up with a new word that isn't as garish-sounding. She wants it ASAP - in time for launch." However, a source close to Wintour said, "Anna just doesn't want people to refer to stories as blogs, because they're not. It's an improper use of the word." A rep said, "Anna has nothing against blogs."
So kids - what shall the new word be? Vlog for Vogue blog? SUYB for stick-up-your-butt? They'll probably go with ANNA.
