Sports: Bulldog players falter in qualifying rounds of BB&T Atlanta Open
Variety: Fashion forward through self-started business
Variety Editor Nat Fort says:
The best story of this week is Kellie Rehn’s feature, which delves into the designs of Erika Arnold. Erika Arnold recycles old jeans, creating stylish high-waisted jean shorts. Rehn covered several facets of Arnold’s business, providing details about Arnold’s artistic process as well as the creation and growth of her business since April. Not only did Rehn complete a thorough profile of Arnold, but it was also very well-written. Well done, Rehn.
“As a retired seven-year-old girl, I can tell you I’ve seen plenty of Barbie dolls in mid-dress, only some of which have offended me.”
From Feminist Manders, created by an intrepid senior staffer and inspired by our lovely design editor.
The quotes are adapted from and/or made up. Except for the ones she actually said.
Another week, another weekly weekend update from editors Melissa Buckman and Adam Carlson about the office and around.
Next up: the difficulties and joys of the Anna Watson Viral Debacle, pimping “the perfect date” and the Next Big Story online.
