Is she being serious?

Brilliant - love it!
Hmm, two DM fashion industry articles today (re: John Galliano and New York Fashion Week ) were written by a Tamara Abraham.
So Victoria Beckham appears not to find the DM unsuitable as a publication (=one reason cited for designers banning LJ, further back in thread).
With her bad relationship with the fashion world, LJ appears to have trapped herself into having to churn out endless confessional fiction.
Which is actually a shame for her, never mind the unfortunate readers.

Let me just say that I joined in part because I think you all write with much more wit, insight, and intelligence than ol' Lizzo and I have followed you from afar, literally.
Liz has no sense of humor; that's one of her major failures as a confessional journalist. She'll write something like "So your other girlfriend can read, can she?" and it's clear she thinks she's not just cutting but funny. No, because "cutting" and "rude" aren't invariably funny, so smart remarks (as my mother used to call them) to sales clerks, etc., are rude, but not funny--and just plain rude is ugly. It takes no wit or sense of humor to be rude. Whereas the Harpies have buckets of humor to spare, and are a pleasure to read when you're rude (unlike the Lizster).
. . . and I'm far too late, but I hope that the results of the job interview are excellent!

Just adding this really to bump us up the page - we've nearly disappeared onto page two.
The Mail launches "a new home for the Country's most influential team of commentators." It apparently has opinion and analysis from "the Daily Mail's and Mail on Sunday's peerless team of columnisys and bloggers." Liz isn't included.

I was almost going to start another spook / fake / pointless "Who is the RS thread?" ..... as I had wicked thoughts at the weekend whilst watching the Strictly preview:
** Robbie Savage (of course) !!!!
He's only: (a) married (b) a footballer (c) devastatingly good looking (d) has wide blue eyes (e) long flowing blonde hair
Apart from that all the facts match up perfectly -- just about as perfectly as all Liz's own non-sequiturs

D/M is perhaps keeping its powder dry, awaiting the necessity for really serious - or seriously real - reportage/commentary.

Yes if you wrap it in a cashmere sweater and put it in a Prada bag.
Hello there, my first ever post on DS. Can I just say that I have lurked for years and have thoroughly enjoyed reading like minded thoughts on Ms. Joness

Welcome to the coven!
On a related point what is the collective noun for harpies?
A bellagio of harpies?

I think a shrieking of harpies is more apt
I don't usually like to judge people on their appearances...........but seeing those pics of Moans again, it's no surprise why she's a frustrated, spiteful, bitter old miseryguts.

WOW!
Greetings, scarlett--I'm a recently anointed harpy myself and don't know what more experienced harpies--Classic Harpies?--think, but it seems to me that suddenly a number of people are joining, just about at the time when hostile posts about Liz have pretty much overrun others. I think it's great, but then I would.

^LJ does pretend to like football, and the above RS would give her just cause.
If Mrs Savage proves to be as tough as her namesake, Lily, then there are a couple of alternatives:
Liz has yet to meet the real Rod Stewart, having been shamelessly decieved by an imposter from The Gorbals.
In terms of credentials, I am sure that the RRS (wearing obligatory Braveheart woad) would fit in nicely with Cathrin's brilliant scenario.
There is also Ryan Seacrest.
No... but today's Moans is such a complete load of old tosh that even I can't be bothered to work up any righteous indignation over it... 
I think if she tries if prolong the FRS twaddle, my interest may be reignited.
