Party Photos: Dinner + Dis(course)

At The Four Seasons, October 19, 2004

Posted October 25, 2004

Last week, for our second annual Dinner + Dis(course) event, we gathered up more than 75 top women's magazine editors for food, fun, and a frank discussion about the future of their magazines. Over a delicious dinner at The Four Seasons, the women engaged in a vigorous debate about topics such as why humor pieces are more successful and prolific in men's magazines, whether editing is still the glamorous job it was once, and how women's books can more successfully integrate features on serious political and social issues.

Laurel Touby, the CEO and founder of mediabistro.com, shared hosting duties with a lovely group of high-powered ladies. The generous cohostesses were (pictured below with Laurel, from left): Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive, Real Simple managing editor Kristin van Ogtrop, Suede editor-in-chief Suzanne Boyd, Family Circle editor-in-chief Susan Ungaro, and Us Weekly editor-in-chief Janice Min. Our thanks to these women, and to all the women who came out, for making this night a terrific success!

And a special thanks to our sponsor for the evening, Netflix.
