You know how you feel when you wake up a from a nap in the middle of the day? No, not refreshed. More like irritated, still tired but know you need to get up or you won’t be able to sleep that night? Well, try adding nauseated to it. I wake up to the phone ringing, take the call, talk, over. Then I decide to get up and make a call to a client. I hear my two sons wrestling and screaming downstairs so I opt to go on the front porch so my client doesn’t actually realize I am not in my office. I need to leave a message on a recording and as the beep goes off prompting me to speak I look down on the patio chair and see a new magazine delivered face down-I pick it up-turn it over- who else’s face- on the damn Elle cover? Jennifer Aniston. I try to smile through my disgust as I leave the message. No wonder the MALE mail carrier put it face down, even he is sick of her.
Why did you have to do it Elle? Last month was Miley Cyrus. My sister-in-law and I both were confused about that one. Where are you going with this? I never bothered even reading Miley’s article or much else of the magazine. Gag me, if I want to read about her, I will buy teen magazine. Stop this nonsense. Just because 250 million little girls love Miley Cyrus and your marketing thinks “oh all these 250 million little girls all have hmmm…probably 30-45 year old mommies and we will try to hook them into buying it because then they think their daughters will think they are cool because their magazine has f&*$## Miley on it.
Newsflash- I don’t have any &^%# daughters and I don’t want Miley Cyrus on any cover of magazine that I subscribe to. Or Jennifer Aniston. We need edge and real edge. Jennifer is all disheveled looking and wrinkeled, one boob showing ( ? seems to be a pattern) on the cover but in reality she would never allow herself to look like that walking out her door. Give me Amy Winehouse, she is raw, edgy and real.
Before I forget, I love and appreciate the latest Chanel ads. If only Coco could see them now.
Speaking of magazines, I love Glamour’s September 2009 issue. And that is saying alot. I hadn’t given Glamour the time of day for years, I was always so sick of their commercially, cheap verbiage they used on their cover and headlines. The only reason I picked it up was because 1.) I left Miley and Elle home for the weekend (not even a 3 ½ hour car ride could get me to take her). 2.) Glamour was the only new magazine some other guest left at the lake house.
What I liked the most and got me turning the pages was the ” We asked our staffers -What is the cheapest thing your wearing right now and the most expensive”? I like the refreshing reality I felt when reading their answers. Clothing and accessories can be cool- no matter how much or little they cost AND no matter where or when you bought them.
And so then I was inspired to come up with a handful of outfits when I “shopped my closet” and mixed and matched. I share them with you below as I finish my writing for the evening and by the way- Glamour magazine-to me- is now all about fashion in case you haven’t read it in a while. I think I will buy their next issue. Gone is all their old trashy headlines on “how to give a guy great………….have your best o yet…”. Or maybe this whole time I was getting them mixed up with Cosmo. Sorry.
