Bee Shaffer vs. Julia Restoin-Roitfeld: Who wins?

[meens]

Hands down Julia in the style department. Of course we don't know any of them but when I look at bee I think of the beautiful chick in high school that floated down the halls and wouldn't even look at the little people. Julia just seems like the kind of person you could hang out with and be yourself with. Again thats all speculation...
But what we do know for sure is that Bee's writing if ghastly. Everytime I read her telegraph stuff I retreat in horror. There is no coherence, no style, no depth and it has no redeeming quality. It has no place in any national or local publication. You just know that if any regular person submitted that stuff to any magazine it would be chucked in the garbage and the fact that she probably knows that and still thinks she has a right to be published makes me respect her less.

julia of course... she's not boring... bee is just dull, i even pick her mother than her.

If anyone has read the Gossip Girl series, Bee looks EXACTLY like Blair Waldorf

I like them both, I choose none
(If I ever want a job with either Vogue, and somehow one of the editors stumbles upon this post, I don't want to jepordize my career!)

^^ Haha. I like them both too. I love Bee's classic All-American styling. And like Julia because she never looks too contrived. Who knows, I'm going to Barnard next year and maybe I'll see Bee around the Columbia campus.

i love them both but i think its not that bee doesnt have an edge to her style..but she wears what fits her body and feels comfortable in, she's even said that..she looks best in dresses, which she most often wear. As for Julia, shes more of a risk taker for me..anywho they are both great style icons to be

there's a picture of them together (with margherita) in vogue paris feb.2007 (and one picture of UglyCharlie...)

I couldn't believe when I read an article by Bee! She writes like a kid. Why doesn't her mother help her with that?! Any way I don't like Bee very much, but maybe it's because of her mother, who reminds me of an awful and mean aunt I have.
In the other hand I think Julia has a very nice sense of style. I love her eyes/look, killing like her mother.

Gosh I think Bee is absoultely stunning and borderline dull. Julia has a dangerous allure about her. I think they're both very attractive but I'd choose Bee.

Julia! She has amazing style. It would be so cool to meet either one of them though.

[rochasfille]

Julia seems far more approachable, so that gives her the win for me. Bee kind-of scares me, just like her mother. They (Bee and mom) both look like they have evil lurking behind their eyes.

Style wise - I prefer Bee as Julia is a bit outrageous. Sometimes her clothing is too see through.. Bee is more elegant...Julia always has body parts falling out..

She writes for Vogue girl: Vogue girl's writing style is for young girls aka teenagers.

eh... I vote JULIA because

- Bee reminds me too much of Anna! (i mean physically, she's like her little copy)
- Julia has better fashion sense, imo, she makes mistakes but at least it's her own, while Bee dresses "well" but so yawn and conventional.
- 6 years is not big difference at all, and Julia actually looks a lot younger than Bee.
- Julia has a seperate career in art, while Bee just follows exact same steps in Anna in exact same publishing house

^ I thought we were just talking about style, not career or physical appearence. Clothing...
