Roberta Myers: Online

robert myers of elle magazine.jpgEven though Robbie Myers has appeared on more television shows (two) than any other fashion magazine editor-in-chief, she remains much quieter on her opinions and thoughts than certain other editors of certain other magazines.

So it was a little surprising when we caught her name in a byline on ELLE.com’s fashion news blog, as “Roberta Myers”.

In what looks like her first blog post ever, Robbie asks readers to leave questions for Caroline Kennedy. But our only questions is, is this the first time the editor of a major magazine has put herself in such an accessible position?

Many powerful figures leave enough buffer room between themselves and the online world - for all the obvious reasons - but Robbie’s stepping into the anonymous unknown with little fear. So is this the first of many recurring posts from ELLE’s EIC? And if so, does this mean she’ll answer questions from the comments section, too?…

Linda Wells was blogging on Allure a few weeks ago. With all the layoffs, the poor magazines probably don't have enough warm bodies to blog.

Sigh, I feel like I've been so far removed from fashion lately. I've been nerding it at the library, and this is the first time in the last few months that I've browsed through this site. Anyway, I just wanted to say that even braver is Pierre Omidyar, ebay founder/philanthropist/venture capitalist/overall genius. He has a personal blog; you can follow him on twitter; and he actually gives out his personal email if you ever want to hit him up for some cash.
