1. WWD Memo Pad
FAN MORRISON

Those crazy all-night closings at Us Weekly under Bonnie Fuller may be a thing of the past with Janice Min in charge, but new fashion director Sasha Charnin-Morrison still has a steep learning curve ahead. After all, she's going from the monthly Allure, where she has the same title, to a weekly. But she insists it actually will be an easier lifestyle. "I'm a mom of twin boys," she said. "I had to think about them." The position at Us, she said, will involve much less traveling, giving her more time to spend with her three-and-a-half-year-olds.

The easiest part of leaving? She's a pop culture and celebrity fanatic. The hardest part of leaving? Saying goodbye to the group of Liz Tilberis-era Harper's Bazaar editors who came with her to Allure six years ago. "We worked, but we had fun. At the end of the day, it's a frock. It's only a bead and a frock."

One perk Charnin-Morrison isn't too concerned about walking away from is the Cond???© Nast cafeteria. "I have a confession to make," she said. "[Allure creative director] Paul Cavaco and I actually dine at Duke's down the block."
