Apparently the consultants are wrapping up at Conde Nast, with a report due in a few weeks. Through the process, it sounds like some staffers have had some stunning realizations! Here's what one Nastie says: "You don't need to send an entire posse to Joshua Tree for a shot in the desert! Who cares! If the photographer is good, and the clothes are good, the models are good, it's fine-you can shoot downtown." HERESY!

Becayse downtown is like a desert now anyway? I didn't realize things had gotten that bad in NYC.
Here's another two money-savers for them:
--"Found" location shooting: Circus in town? Crime scene? Step in with the models, the photog, and the stylist and Bob's your uncle.
--Movie prop rental warehouses: They have some seriously weird shit at these places, like elephant-foot-ashtray weird. Every room has four corners, so you get four shoots per room!
Well they're saving money on eyebrows. How far can you go with these cost cutting measures???

Why don't they just not feed the models?
Oh, right.
