What Should We Call Blueprint's New EIC?

Blueprint

When we found out yesterday that Blueprint snagged a new editor, we were thrilled. And today, Keith Kelly gives us a bunch of details we didn't know, such as her age and where she lives.

Blueprint, the new Martha Stewart magazine that lost its launch editor even before the first issue came out, has raided Real Simple to find a replacement.

Susan Humphreys, who was editing two special issues per year of Real Simple as well as editing the Real Simple cookbook, is the new editor of Blueprint.

Humphreys, who is all of 31 years old and living in a studio apartment in the West Village, seems to fit the demographic that Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia needs to caputure -24- to 45-year-old women.

Great job, Keith. Except, we're pretty sure her name is Sarah Humphreys … not Susan. And "caputure" is spelled capture.

Though, maybe it's not entirely his fault. We didn't realize the Eat the Press headline we linked to yesterday labeled her as Susan, with the press release reading as Sarah. (Someone's reading the blogs!) Though in about the four seconds it took to do a Google search, we found about 100 results for "Sarah Humphreys Real Simple" and none for "Susan Humphreys Real Simple."

Yes, we know, we sometimes make mistakes and spell things wrong and screw up names, too. The only thing is that the Post actually has fact-checkers to comb over the one thing Keith Kelly writes every day.
