Too bad if the kid is better or more in demand than they are...Tavi rocks! and I love the grey hair. Sounds like a lot of jealousy and sour grapes to me.

And you're right, she's very talented, both when it comes to fashion and when it comes to writing. It's not like she's skipping school to hang off a stripper pole: she's interviewing people and writing, things most people only do in college, if ever. She's taken flack from the beginning, but back then it wasn't neurasthenic semiliterate fashionistas sniping at her, it was the kids she played with. If she could take it from the one, she can take it from the other. And kudos to Harpers for giving her a shot; they've always been risk takers.
