Conde Nast's Air Kisses Had to Land Somewhere

Lipstick.com

The print version of Conde Nast's new biz title Portfolio is actually only half the fun: there's going to be a full-blown website (maybe Flash video, too?!) to go along with. And that's just a little of what 4 Times Square is offering from its online umbrella CondeNet. VanityFair.com hasn't always looked so glam, and Men.Style.Com was once just a dirty pile of soiled socks next to Style.com. Now those web fashion titles actually bring in revenue! Who knew this online space was awash with ad dollars?

Si Newhouse & Co., that's who. Because it's not just the web versions of their treasured glossies that Conde Nast is taking an interest in — they're also going after Janice Min's turf with Lipstick.com, a Digg-like website for the celeb worshipper in all of us.

The first tip-off that Conde is smearing its red MAC tube all over the Interwebs? The little note in Lipstick's User Agreement notifying you that your Lipsticking will be watched by those sitting above the Midtown Nasdaq marquee. Add to it that Lipstick.com – which, we believe, is somehow connected to headline news site Reddit.com – is registered to 4 Times Square, and the Maltese is out of the bag. At least Tom Wallace can't fault staffers for reading celeb gossip on company time.
