Fashion Is Fun

Joe Zee’s Confused

joe zee and rachel bilson at hit the road text later.jpgJoe Zee, star of The City and Creative Director of Elle, is in LA this week.

He hosted an event called “Hit the Road, Text Later” with Ciara as part of California’s campaign to stop texting while driving. (Which, after texting my way up and down the state of California while driving for a month I can attest is a major problem. I’m still amazed I never crashed.)

However, during this past week Joe tweeted from a text message that his car was playing office. Then he took this picture of a woman’s foot hanging out of a car, while in his own vehicle. Then he took this picture of traffic, from inside the tunnel in which he was stuck traffic. And then this one of a pretty posh Rolls Royce in which you can actually see Joe’s side mirror — all actually texted into Twitter.

Yes, this made us laugh out loud. Maybe he should stick to fashion parties since that’s a cause he actually believes in? But seriously, please don’t crash Joe! Fashion Week wouldn’t be the same without you.

Not that I condone texting while driving, because it is very dangerous, but its pretty obvious that in all of these pics he is actually stopped in traffic.

There are still campaign benefits for this "cause"? It was made illegal in California on January 1, 2009. I don't need Ciara to tell me that this is dangerous -- having police officers chasing me down for texting or having my cell phone glued to my head is enough to make me stop, thanks!!

Shame on you Britt! People die from texting while driving! It's a huge pet peeve of mine. It's irresponsible, and the texts will still be there when you park!

Would you also brag about driving drunk? It's not that much of a difference.

When I read that Mr. A to Zee was at this party, I thought the same thing. Every Friday he gives the update on how the traffic going to the Hamptons is crazy.

Well, I'm willing to bet that those who are upset about texting and driving aren't very good drivers in the first place.

I haven't had a problem texting while driving because I pay attention to the road and don't text when I don't feel comfortable doing it.

Do any of you put make up on in the car? Eat? It's really the same thing.

The people causing these accidents are not smart drivers in the first place.

I've been driving for 4 years and no accidents, no problems.

#9 That is exactly what drunk drivers always say. I am not very moralistic about most things like drug use, smoking, adultery whatever - your life, your responsibility, but when it comes to endangering other lifes so very casually I think those people are pretty much scum.

Take a lot at the Times and the British study that says that texting is MORE dangerous than drunk driving:

Of course the above goes to # 8, I quite agree with the Ken Watanabe comment.
