It’s interesting for me because in my work, a lot of times, I like to scrutinize the clothes and think what’s going to make them look dated, and I do the same with vintage.

I always had so much fun.

The Huffingtonpost.com does not pay its writers. Tina Brown’s thedailybeast.com does pay its writers. You have to be paid because this is not a hobby. You have to keep that standard.
