- Lynda Curnyn is the critically acclaimed author of Confession Of An Ex-Girlfriend (Red Dress Ink, 4/02) and Engaging Men (Red Dress Life at Fashionista magazine can be a real bitch. Especially when you work for one. Vig Morgan finally worked her way out of the assistant-for-the-bitch-from-hell trenches only to get stuck in a sea of editors.
