It should be noted that nobody is as good as their best press or as bad as their worst. But we live in a society were questioning anyone’s mojo or their PR Spin is viewed as some form of hate speech. The worst things I ever have to say about anyone are generally up front, straight forward and in the public eye. I think it is important that we as a people question all our sources of information and ask whether they are being upfront with their agenda. Many craft a legend and then guard it so closely without recognizing that their myth is not believable with even a cursory glance.

I read the blog rather quickly I have to research her a little bit more…I question the response beneathe your blog…Can we as women seriously be miffed that the journalists note her beauty when they feel she has no talent?? Is it not a valid point when serious writers and readers wonder if they had the gift of hot feminine lure would they be as successful with mindless chatter and stolen genius..Really, are we going to cry injustice when people question what our significance is if we don’t have talent to support our crown? As a woman I am thankful that I am, humbly speaking, attractive, but when I want to be respected for more than my body, I showcase my intelligence so that when others question ’substance’, beauty takes a backseat, even if it got me the first glance…a benefit I know Mr London would never begrudge a woman.In fact, he always commends women for having the compassion, strength, intelligence and courage to be strikingly beautiful from core to facade. Mr London, if you know him, if you have read his work, will always appreciate the element of outter beauty but nobely so, he expects more than just a pretty face, PR and a fan base to consider someone an esteemed journalist. It might do us women good to know some people might actually be interested in hearing what we have to say. Imagine that! I do appreciate the desire to have looks not mentioned when analyzing women’s work but, isn’t it true that we would wonder no less a man’s wallet if he was coined as a journalist, praised by women but he clearly had no substance? Let’s just say some people do get ahead on their assets alone, and smart women like Paris Hilton build an empire on pinpointing that open door and playing her cards well. And men, the list of them that have acheived even political stature from heavily filledd pockets, thats a discussion for another time…it’s the way of the world…ever so sweet injustices. ( I have no opinion on Rachelle’s work as I am not yet familiar so my point is based solely on the issue of beauty, brain or busted)

You, and others like you, “others” refers to credible journalists, do yourself a dis-service by even mentioning Rachelle Hruska or any other woman’s looks whose jobs do not DIRECTLY correlate to their appearance i.e.-Models, Beauty pageant Contestants, etc.

When the first mention was made of Rachelle Hruska’s looks by Celebrity & Society Journalist Peter Davis, a few years ago it made sense. After all, Mr.Davis is a fashion forward, “go to guy” for all that is hip in New York and is openly gay AND presumably he can pick”em”. When straight credible journalists follow suit and work it into their “supposed rants” against Ms. Hruska’s popularity as a credible journalist it just seems like an attempt to appear strangely “diplomatic.” The truth is, it doesn’t matter if she is HOT or BUTT-ugly!

Apparently, what I once thought was a slight against others of us who head up popular nightlife or celeb or society blogs I now feel is a FACT–we are all being SLIGHTED. Where are the passing comments on Bryce Gruber’s looks? The beautiful dark haired CEO of theluxuryspot.com who is a year or so younger than Ms. Hruska and of Jewish descent? Her blog is doing just fine(popularity wise) and she is equally if not MORE um….”down right gorgeous”.

I think you male Editors and Publishers of the “serious journalist” variety need to CHILL on comments about female colleague’s (yes colleagues)physical appearance. Why? It’s just un-needed fodder that you cannot wiggle your way out of once it has been out there and onto the internet.

Additionally, the title of Rachelle Hruska as “One of New York’s leading New Media Entrepreneurs” is deceptive, not because it is NOT true but because it is an open-ended title. Your interpretation of it is equally as deceptive in that you both build her up & tear her down all in one fell swoop. She founded a blog nearly 3 years ago, she has no “legacy”–YET! The tear down would be all else that follows your initial assertion.

If Rachelle Hruska or any of her team are indeed trying to de-index your words from Google or to remove them from Facebook can you blame them?

PS-Hit off the jewish CEO blogger chicks and the African American Publisher blogger chicks (wink- wink) and allow Ms. Hruska breathe a sigh of relief that she is not ALSO packing 34 Ds!
