About
Dolls . . . yes, the questions are real. Actually these are the most popular questions to have appeared in the Ask E. Jean column in Elle over the last fifteen years. As for the answers, each one has been severely tested----- E. Jean hears IMMEDIATELY from people when the advice doesn’t work (and when it does).
We are adding one new video every day-and-a-half, so if you didn’t get the answer you need, you soon will. (Actually right now we are adding them in BUNCHES, but soon it will be every day and a half.)
And yes, E. Jean shot the videos in her mountain cabin in upstate New York, and well . . .yes, the videos are gawdawful looking. Dogs wander into the shots, the neighbors lean in the window to chat, the cat turns the mic off, and on one occasion a fox (a vixen!) streaked in the kitchen door and leapt out the bedroom window.
And speaking of foxy, let us pause here to thank the inconceivably beautiful and brilliant Editor-in-Chief of Elle, Robbie Myers, the dazzling Executive Editor, Alex Postman, and the rambunctiously clever Articles Editor, Danielle Nussbaum. The uncanny, witty illustrations are by the extraordinary James Gustavson (www.SilentJames.com), a young man who lives in Brooklyn.
The site was produced by Jim Verhagen’s Cyrus Company of Ithaca, New York. Cyrus is the sleekest, smartest company to come down the Internet Pike in a long time. Jim (known as The Dealer) oversees AskEJean.com. Chantelle Farmer (known as Miss Big Brain) is in charge of the overall programming and spectacular search, and the delectable Miss Shamsi Brinn designed the site.
