Conde Trash



We've seen it in the beginning of The Devil Wears Prada. Miranda Priestly's opening scene, she steps into the elevator and the scared assistant apologises and runs back out. Cut 40 minutes into the film and we see Emily Blunt and Giselle's character's laughing at the girl Anne Hathaway portrays for not knowing what a Shu Uemura eyelash curler is.

Well that is real life for many in the Conde Nast employees. And now it has all been made public thanks to one very brave (or incredibly stupid depeding on how you look at it) Conde Nast employee. Yes that's right, the Conde Nast tower now has its very own Gossip Girl, a mystery tweeter by the name of @CondeElevator.

The mystery tweeters profile boasts a picture of Miranda Priestly (the character based on Notorious American Vogue Editor Anna Wintour) and a bio which states 'Things heard in the Conde Nast elevators do not stay in the Conde Nast elevators. Email what you hear to condeelevator@gmail.com' and whilst they have gained over 80,000 followers in a short amount of time, it appears that they have managed to 'turn Anna's normally frosty exterior into pure ice'.

Tweets include ' Woman #1 to Woman #2 holding an omelette: What's the occasion? Woman #2 Huh? Woman #1: I would need an occasion to eat that'

Apparntly there is now a witch hunt underway in Conde Nast to find the culprit.
