Elle Editor Acknowledges Absurdity

I'm not a big TV watcher, so I'm sort of the belief that it doesn't really exist. In fact, we taped it back in April so I sort of forgot about it. There is definitely an element of self-parody involved that we're all conscious of, but I'm the first one to laugh at myself in the office, so why not on national television? I don't really care. It is a ridiculous industry. I mean, I feel very lucky to be part of it, but if you think about it, I sit around watching fashion shows and then drum up feature stories about it. It's obviously something women take very seriously, but at the same time it's kind of absurd.
