Anna Wintour is expanding Vogue’s website, but she would really appreciate it if your didn’t refer to the writing in it as a “blog.”
According to PageSix:
“They are expanding the Vogue Web site and getting more involved with the Internet. But Anna hates the word ‘blog’ so much, she refuses to call anything on her site a blog and has charged her staff with coming up with a new word that isn’t as garish-sounding. She wants it ASAP - in time for launch.” However, a source close to Wintour said, “Anna just doesn’t want people to refer to stories as blogs, because they’re not. It’s an improper use of the word.” A rep said, “Anna has nothing against blogs.”
I wouldn’t describe the word “blog” as being garish; I don’t think there is anything ornate or tastelessly large about it. Rather, I would say it sounds more like a barf; it’s onomatopoeia
