In a sooo not-so-chic move, LA blogger Rachel Nguyen of That's Chic staged her latest fashion photoshoot at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Which would've been edgy and cool and all, except for the fact that it was shot in a Jewish mausoleum. On International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Apparently unaware of the solemn day of reflection, the Style Scroll regular wrote of "not giv[ing] a fuck" about such youthful follies like, say, sporting Carven platform heels in graveyards. Nguyen has since replaced the post with an apology, admitting it was all "a bad idea" and promising to "better educate myself and be more sensitive." Lesson learned. [Racked]
