Talking to infamous editor Cat Marnell, known for ruthlessly honest, intelligent writing about beauty and, by proxy, her own drug addiction, is a surreal experience. She's clever, candid, funny, and says that she's on speed a few minutes into our conversation. "I'm always on drugs," she repeats unapologetically. Marnell announced via "Page Six" last Thursday that she's no longer working as the beauty editor at Jane Pratt's website, xoJane.com. (Her explanation: "I couldn’t spend another summer meeting deadlines behind a computer at night when I could be on the rooftop of Le Bain looking for shooting stars and smoking angel dust with my friends.") That same day, Pratt published a heartfelt post on her own website, titled "Cat's Gone," that lamented Marnell's inability to get sober and do her job. "Though I would love for her to take care of that brilliant brain of hers, I've always had a Libertarian view of drugs and suicide, that people can do whatever they want with their own bodies," Pratt wrote. XoJane.com's publishers, Say Media, had sent Marnell to rehab in April.
