Talk:Lauren Weisberger

Vogue
Can anyone say, when exactly was Weisberger an intern in Vogue, and has she been (or is she currently) at work in any other places? --Oop 23:06, 20 November 2006 (UTC)


 * She graduated from Cornell in 1999, so it was probably while she was in college. Sometime around 1996-97, I'd say. Vogue has understandably never said anything and Weisberger has been coy as well. Daniel Case 17:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * She wasn't an intern, it was her first job after she graduated college. kc12286 02:25, 27 January 2007 (UTC)kc12286
 * I just confirmed this at her website. Although it was interesting that when The Devil Wears Prada came out, that was never directly stated in her biography ... it just said how she'd interned at Condé Nast while she was in college. Since she was trying to distance the novel from her experience working for Wintour, that's understandable. At the same time, since Wintour still hasn't forgiven her (reportedly), it's sort of funny that now she cops to it. Daniel Case 04:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Cited NYT profile
If anyone cannot access a free version of the NYT profile to verify the cited material added about Weisberger's second and third novels, it can be accessed easily through a Google search. I was able to read the article at this URL: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/06/fashion/sundaystyles/06LAUREN.html?ex=1288933200&en=450db2ed24877d0f&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

Please advise here if there are any questions on the accuracy of the information added from this article.NYDCSP 21:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Devil Wears Prada synopsis
The current description of the novel is simply "The book provides a semi-fictional but highly critical view of the Manhattan elite's empty obsession with materialism and fashion." Isn't this a bit obtuse about what the novel is about? I would argue that it is more accurately described as something like: "The book is a comedy-drama which follows the travails of a young woman who, fresh from college, gets a job working as a personal assistant to a powerful fashion magazine editor. The story turns increasingly hellish as she struggles to keep up with her boss's capricious and demeaning requests." This is lifted out of the Wiki for the novel. Isn't that more accurate?

Note: In the book the character Andrea Sachs is a recent Brown graduate. In the movie this was changed to Northwestern. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.234.65.143 (talk) 17:28, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
