Lauren Goldstein Crowe, the Portfolio fashion blogger, posted her last post today. She continued the grand tradition of bloggers on their way out: the big fuck-you last post. Noted was Moe from Jezebel and other alleged meanies of the internet, who she had been advised to ignore. But she couldn't help herself!

Lauren Goldstein Crowe, the Portfolio.com fashion editor whose understanding of computers rivals my grandfather's, is leaving the site next month. She says the experience "taught me a lot about the Internet." This is a woman who thought @aol.com email addresses were "really cute" and didn't realize blogging was for the misanthropic. She also learned that the internet is no cash cow: Apparently she wanted more than Portfolio.com was willing to give her. Let your newfound knowledge of Google image search guide you, Lauren, in your forthcoming "unauthorized Jimmy Choo story." [via Doree Chronicles]

Portfolio "Fashion, Inc." blogger Lauren Goldstein Crowe may be new to this internet-writing game, but she's already formed some strong opinions about it. "Anna Wintour hates the word blog, and I have to say I'm with her there. My business cards say 'contributor.'" Nice. Oh, and while declaring your intention not to belong to any club that will have you as a member, why not alienate everyone in that club a little more? "There aren't many sites or blogs devoted to the business of fashion, so I haven't yet felt the need for a formal blog roll here. (If you have suggestions, please post them.) But every once in a while I may point to something I find. Recently I discovered the 'Style Scribbler.' An intreped [sic] internet fashion journalist...." Well, at least Lauren knows some rules of the internets: You don't have to spell good, and you can always pretend to know more than you actually do.
