Vogue[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

She wasn't an intern, it was her first job after she graduated college. kc12286 02:25, 27 January 2007 (UTC)kc12286[reply]

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)[reply]

Cited NYT profile[edit]

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)[reply]

Devil Wears Prada synopsis[edit]

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)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Streep and Hathaway in DWP film.jpg[edit]

Image:Streep and Hathaway in DWP film.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
