I understand your concern #1.
Maybe this is better suited for your workplace

RR, if we had commenter awards, you'd win first place.

Amaaazing, RashomonRebel If you think you might get in trouble for looking at naked models at work, wait until you get home to check Fashionista!

It's so nice to know, for those of you here sitting on your high horse and striking blows from your ivory tower, that it's not up to your moral standards that people sometimes access non-work related sites when they are at work. It's shocking, I realize.
But when I go to Fashionista on my lunch break and during my regular break, I like to think that it can be work safe for me. And even when it is and they decide to patronize their loyal readers, well frankly, Fashionista can just piss off.

There are several things that are both completely moronic and also completely uncalled for when you are attempting to run a successful business...and antagonizing a large portion of your loyal customers is one of them.
And for all of you claiming ethical superiority because some of us check Fashionista at work...well, "let he who has not sinned cast the first stone." Get over yourselves.

as i remarked on an adventures in copyright post, these girls must love pissing their readers off. or they are extremely dense. this might be a joke, but one they knew would anger alot of their readers. putting aside the whole checking the internet at work thing.
honestly, they writers really bring nothing to the site, they are easily replaceable. i come here just for the news. if the owners of this blog had any sense, they would get new writers before the current ones chase everyone off.
(i am asuming that the writers were hired by someone to write on this blog. if thats not the case, ignore the last paragraph.)

i love you girls but this was probably uncalled for. i think it's funny, but i can see why some ppl are getting pissed.
and RR i wouldn't jump to a conclusion that all of us are in the same time zone here

i love how people assume everyone's checking fashionista at work. maybe some of us are in the living room and we don't want our younger siblings/family members to think we're dirty pervs? or at a cafe and we don't want people to start giving us weird stares because they think we're looking at porn? just a thought.

something to ponder: if you can't look at fashion editorials at work (depending on where you work, anyway) because it may make you look inappropriate due to its (sometimes) likeness to pornography (assuming you can look at all other types of non-work-related sites at some points during the work day) and you won't look at it in front of family members or even total strangers in public, then is it fair to say that it sometimes is more porn than fashion? and what does that say about the ages of (many) models? i mean, i'm not sure i'd want someone to catch me looking at karlie kloss in a bra and stiletto's either and yet i look at this stuff all the time (not to mention that i also support it by actually paying money for it and therefore ensuring its survival and place in the world). but maybe that's just the banality of evil, as hannah arendt put it.

try try again, my dear fashionista. don't add insult to injury for your dedicated readers. mocking them about NSFW images at work is a low blow. if you want readers to take you seriously, how about taking our concerns seriously.
