You're on the TODAY show? I was on there yesterday!

These days it seems as if everyone and their mother are "stylists to the stars" or "fashion editors" or "fashion experts." My personal favorite: Bobbie Thomas. She is, of course, the "fashion editor" on the TODAY show. No wonder journalists like Tom Brokaw had to leave. When the TODAY show starts to hire "fashion editors" FOR THE SHOW you know the once reputable news program has gone completely.....

Come on! Let's face it. Who IS Bobbie Thomas? DO you know who she is? She's the fashion editor of LIFE & STYLE magazine. LIFE & STYLE!!! LIFE & STYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FASHION EDITOR AT LIFE & STYLE!!!!!!!!! Isn't that an oxymoron? She's the fashion editor at Life & Style, yes, that disgusting, tabloid, vermin-infested weekly that can hardly be considered a magazine. Is it just me or do I find it depressing that a once-reputable early morning show has a 17th-rate magazine of a joke with an even more joke of a "fashion department" employee hired as their "fashion editor." What credentials does she have? Has anyone noticed she has the worst style and advice? She's almost as bad as Katie Couric and worse than Ann Curry. She works at LIFE & STYLE! Need I say more? Like they couldn't get a REAL fashion editor at a REAL fashion magazine to contribute on a regular basis. It's so pathetic it's depressing. Especially when you know Bobbie is getting a super fat package of a deal. Yes, she is getting paid money money money!!! to give wayward fashion advice that she has no business giving!

Then of course there's Stacy London of What Not To Wear. Did anyone see her fashion coverage on the TODAY show or pre-Golden Globes? She is the most irritating and the worst when it comes to style and giving fashion advice. She had no taste when she worked in magazines and now she gets paid over and over again to give fashion advice to those less fortunate. And she's on commercials now for Macys. Ca-ching!

There is something about the TODAY show that really is the most depressing. One morning I saw that the owner of Scoop, Stefani Greenfield was on to talk about the trends and do a runway presentation. The completely weird thing about it was that the clothes that were featured on the models were not clothes available at her store! Is it me or is there no synergy going on here? It's as if the TODAY show hires ANYONE to give fashion advice to the million viewers they have without any regard to the person's credibility or appropriateness to the program.

Last time I checked there were actually fashion editors at reputable fashion magazines who could give advice on WHAT TO WEAR. Perhaps the TODAY show producers will finally take a hard look at their so-called talent and figure out who are the fakes and what's the real thing.
