Bravo & the Four Fs
I spent the afternoon catching up on Bravo shows on TiVo: Top Chef and Project Runway. (I am pretending that Project Runway is not on Lifetime.) It’s one of the best parts of maternity leave – spending the afternoon with Curtis on the sofa.
Much of Bravo’s programming revolves around the four Fs of the women’s pages: family, fashion, food and furnishings.
If the women I study were around today, Eleni Epstein would be a great Project Runway judge. (That’s her in the photo above.) She was the longtime fashion editor at the Washington Star and a real personality – usually just going by “eleni.” Jeanne Voltz, food editor at the Miami Herald, the Los Angeles Times and then Woman’s Day, would have been a great judge on Top Chef. She was well known (a friend of James Beard) and quite the food expert.
I am finishing up articles on both women.
