Glamorous writers?

I must object when Susan Carpenter describes Candace Bushnell as “unusually glamorous for a writer” (“More Glamour, Dish From the ‘Sex’-y Gal,” Aug. 7). Writers are always put down in Hollywood, but we could dress better if we wanted to. And had the money. And had taste.

(By the way, have you heard the one about the dumb starlet? She was so dumb that she slept with the writer.)
