A little history lesson for those who haven’t known me long: I worked with a team of incredible people to launch the Style section of The Charlotte Observer. It was truly “my baby,” though, and it remains one of my proudest achievements. When I left the section to become the editor of another publication, Rachel Sutherland took over Style and kicked ass.
Then Rachel left last fall.
I started to worry about my baby. I called one of my former bosses. He said he had a plan but wanted to hear my ideas.
One suggestion I had was to ask local people to write essays (newspaper people call them “columns”) about style, fashion, beauty, etc. At our next lunch, he asked me to write the first one. I was happy to oblige. Click here to read it!
(For the record, I requested that they use the last photo I had taken there … the one where I’m wearing a purple shirt… but no, they went with a 2004 shot where I’m wearing black… funny!)
If you’re interested in writing an essay, pop them an email and tell them I sent ya!
