I actually thought this was fake! Most of the pics are old (ie the one with her wedding ring, the video from the bachelor party, etc) Plus, the author said her videos were VIRAL? In what universe???

I think this is fake. Or all made up by Matt. I don't think Tay did an interview at all for this. Maybe Matt just played interviewer and interviewee.

I think the story of how she was "discovered" was that she and Nicole were at a bar and an exec overheard them both. Then, I think they both had to go in for an interview/audition and Tay ended up getting it. I wonder why they didn't put them both on together? Maybe they were too good of friends or something.

And I believe Nicole was already working as a receptionist at Sirius, so maybe she was having drinks with work people and asked Tay to join them, and that's when Tay was noticed.

ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!  

I think someone, Matt or PR firm, gave the site a bunch of clips and quotes and answers and it was terribly cut and pasted together. Agree that exercise and fitness is not Taylor's thing and that was a big mess. Taylor's jokes about walking home with the wine bottles, doing lunges down the hall, didn't translate at all. Whoever wrote the article for Women's Fitness needs to find a job that suits their skills better.

Yeesh, those outfits... I used to really like her style.

Regarding the fitness article - walking home from work? Lololol. Besides the fact that we know she's driven around, her apartment is a little over 4 miles from the building Sirius is in. I don't know how this article fits her brand at all.

Looking at those pics, none of them are great. Save for the bachelor party black dress/brown boots, I think her "style" is terrible. Looks like a bunch of "in" things thrown in togeather.

I wonder if her stylist friends have offered to help but she declines because as a "fashionista", she should be able to dress herself. Kind of hard to call yourself a fashion blogger if someone else pulled the outfit together for you- it's basically stealing someone else's work. Even if that's not the reason, if she's declined the offer  once it might be awkward since they're also her friends to keep asking because it might seem like they're trying to tell her she needs the help....lol how long before Robert can't take it anymore and gives her a makeover?

I always read the forum but can never remember my password to log in and post!  I find all the comments so entertaining!

Anyways, yes that story was ridiculous. I got the wine joke but unless it's a fitness satire publication, it falls flat. I loved seeing pics of Tay throughout the years on the Getty website. I do not like her style though. That one picture of her in the sand/pinkish outfit- she looks huuuuge! And she's not. If you look at her in that outfit compared to her in blue pantsuit you can see how unflattering a loose fit on her can be. Her waist is so trim I don't know why she would wear loose flowy tops and bottoms. Also, everyone knows Capri pants make you look short and dumpy. I cringe when I see those. They remind me of the early 2000s too which is when they were in style. As Oprah said the only ppl those flatter are tall skinny girls. My fave outfit is the black skirt with brown boots. So cute and timeless! And the hair! You can really see it hasn't changed in years. If you want to keep it long fine but do updos or style it or something!!!!

I am not a fan of her style. It's so frumpy. I wish she would just embrace her body and wear better fitting outfits. I too loved the jumpsuit, but that stupid jacket! Stop trying to always hide behind your clothes. I like that she took a risk with the white dress, but it fell flat because it was not flattering. She's surrounded by fabulous style, with access to beautiful clothing stores, so really there's no excuse. And she's friends with Robert Verdi and Kelly Cutrone! Come on, girl.

Is her website gone? I can't find it after a few searches.

This does come up as the first hit though!

ETA ~ Nevermind just found it. I obviously need more coffee!

The only thing I could focus on from the getty images is how her foundation is way too dark and orange in the pics with the pink background. She should not hire those makeup people again.

One of the pics towards the bottom does not even include Taylor. Her skin is a bit oily, and the lighting is difficult to work with, but she does not have one wrinkle. I'm jealous! Anyone know what procedure she said she had done to her face that changed her life?

She said Dr. Anolik did some type of a laser treatment to her face that changed everything. Now I can't tell you exactly what type that was, but I'm sure it was free (hence his ongoing spots that are killing me on the show!) plus she's still getting 'botox for her blinkies' (hmmm...I'll not comment here) from her 'my dad is a doctor' from HAAAAAVAAAAD. I'm guessing they are in her forehead and crow's eye area?? LOL....jk. I'm sure she needs them but not sure where....

Is that what she's always saying (when she pulls out her medical term for 'the blinkies'??) I know it usually starts with "hemi" something... But when your dad is a doc, who knows? He could write her an RX for anything, right? 

Speaking of...what happened to his Botox practice in NYC? We haven't heard about that in awhile...along with weworks!!

Randomly, my dog had a corneal perforation that ruptured last week (partially why I've been MIA from the board lately!) I had to take him to a veterinarian ophthalmologist and as I was reading his d/c summary it said "intermittent blepharospasms" and all I heard in my head was Taylor screeching hemi-facial blepharospam!!

Side note: Pup is healing up well! 🐶👍🏼
