It's probably safe to assume that Amy Odell, the editor of New York magazine's fashion blog, The Cut, won't be on the guest list for Lauren Santo Domingo's Christmas party this year. Late yesterday, Odell posted a scathing critique of the socialite, Vogue contributing editor, and wife of Colombian heir Andres Santo Domingo. Why? It seems Santo Domingo couldn't get her hands on a pair of black $1,800 Hussein Chalayan boots that have been all the rage recently. So she did what any other dedicated fashionista would do: She took a pair of similar boots in brown and customized them to look just like the Chalayan ones. Vogue posted Santo Domingo's tale of "fashion dedication" online; Odell responded by suggesting Santo Domingo wasn't "important enough" to get her hands on the genuine article, and said her effort to recreate them was something that "no one with a real job would ever have the time, money, or energy to even think about doing." Totally true! The problem is that not long after, New York removed any trace of the story from its website. Did Vogue put pressure on New York to remove the offending piece? Did Anna bitch Adam out? Hard to say! An email to Odell asking for an explanation went unanswered. But we saved a cached version for you, which you can read here.

That's pretty silly-- especially considering the Alexander McQueen thigh-high black leather boots (with snakeskin stilettos) from last year were only $1200.
I'm just sayin.

Lauren seems like the girl who can't take a joke, so I would not be surprised at all if she freaked out when she saw a blog post mocking her and called the higher ups. Just based on who she is, it wouldn't be at all out of character.

I can't believe she even wrote that story. That's the rudest cuntiest NON-story I've ever read. A girl wants some boots which are probably not even going to produced so she takes it upon herself to create the look herself. That's something to be made fun? Gross!
