Some Like it Haute

The blog, Some Like it Haute, is a fun, purposefully tongue-in-chic, journal of the confessions of the Shoeaholic, Alex (ghost written by Julie Dam). In this blog, we see the human side of the shopaholic, and witty “admissions” of the faults this infliction causes. We can even see ourselves in this blog, and can relate to the muses on fashion and shoes. We also still hate her, with brand new every day pictures of Prada and other designer shoes, and the ease with which she plops down thousands for a trendy Louis Vuitton. But it’s entertainment, remember, and we hate the persona while loving the author. We love her for knowing so well the insight to our souls, we love her for understanding true handbag lust. Finally! Another person who gets it—and she explains it so well. We know she lives this, herself.

Yes, the blog is the opposite of the book. It’s very well written; actually one of the best in the fashion community. Don’t let the fact that it’s based on a character scare you off, it’s a great read.

Julie, if blogging is good enough in your eyes, I say make it a job, milk an income out of it, because you belong here!

Just finished reading your analysis and I think you’ve rather missed the point. Some Like It Haute, the book, while often mentioned in the same breath as The Devil Wears Prada, is a fundamentally different treatment of the fashion world. It’s not catty or revelatory, but rather a spoof. In fact, the more apt analogy would be to say that it reads more like Zoolander from a woman’s perspectives. Archetypes aren’t so much skewered as they are feted with tongue in cheek. And in a spoof, the implausible is de rigueur and the ridiculous is sublime. Reading Some Like It Haute and expecting the profound (”I wanted some huge enlightenment, even perhaps with a drastic change of life.”) is akin to drinking milk while expecting orange juice — it’s just not going to go down right.

Why can’t I want that? I don’t want shallow people to get away with it in the end and remain the same way. I want a spoof to jump out as a spoof right along, and I want the spoofed to be put down. How can it be a spoof if there’s no lesson?

Thank you for your perspective and comment.
