A hundred-plus senior-level women's magazine editors. Dinner at the Four Seasons. Three different wine glasses per place setting, all of which seemed to top themselves off every five minutes. Candid chat among senior-level editors at the nation's most visible glossies. Gift bags containing ionic blowdryers. In a nutshell, that was mediabistro.com's 4th annual Dinner & Dis(Course) on November 7. Co-hosted by editors-in-chief Joanna Coles (Marie Claire), Rosemary Ellis (Good Housekeeping), Cindi Leive (Glamour), Janice Min (Us Weekly), Peggy Northrop (More), and mb founder and CEO Laurel Touby, it was basically the most encompassing women's mag section of the newsstand you've ever seen, personified.
