Although we can’t seem to shake the nasty habit of writing in the royal we, occasionally one of our editors decides to shake off the cloak of anonymity to write a short, pithy statement long, rambling diatribe about a topic of their choice. Today, Debbie Newman is that editor.

Yesterday we told you about Ashley Baker, the Glamour blogger who's only just now been canned for her six week-old statement that Afros and other "political hairdo's" have no place in a corporate setting.

At the time, people (both with and without ethnic hairstyles) had some slightly averse reactions to the remarks, but editor-in-chief Cindi Leive decided that the I-G-N-O-R-E policy was probably best. So she kept her mouth shut,* plastered on a smile and told herself this whole minor PR "hiccup" would eventually just blow over.

Breaking! Glamour's former fashion/style blogger once said something that was inadvertently offensive to black people. Naturally, the girl was promptly fired, a mere six weeks after the fact.

ALWAYS composed Cindi Leive - the Glamour editrix who presides over the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) - shocked staffers at a recent editorial meeting when she became "outraged" and "furious" at fashion editor Ashley Baker. Leive had just read a story in American Lawyer magazine, which reported that during a presentation in June to a group of women at a law firm, Baker had declared that "dreadlocks or Afros are a definite 'no.' "

As for us, we can't decide what's more shocking. The fact that Glamour magazine had a hidden follicle bigot in their midsts, or that editor-in-chief Cindi Leive is only "just" learning about all this now. Especially given that the story is six weeks old, and Baker blogged about the now infamous presentation the very same day it happened.
