'Glamour' Editor Volunteers With Least Neediest
Glamour Executive Beauty Editor Mary Scully Maclean recently spent a day with a group of NYC-area elementary school students, teaching them how to be beauty writers. How generous of Mary to offer up some of her hard-earned wisdom ("I came armed with a bin of nail polishes") and precious time to the underprivileged... wait. Nope! It turns out that Ms. Scully Maclean chose to do impart her professional expertise and manicuring tips to a group of girls in Katonah, New York, which, according to the 1990 census, has a population that is 90.9% white and an average house price of $912,000. (This is also the same Katonah that nearby homeowner Martha Stewart is trying to trademark and slap on a line of outdoor furniture). Because, you know, there aren't any other girls within a 30-mile radius of NYC who could be better served by a bit of professional mentoring. But it was Mary's son's school, after all. All the more reason to trumpet the acheivements of the "brilliant, budding journalists at Katonah Elementary!"
