Well, Paris, I have nothing bad to say about your quote. In fact, I admire it. Hell can now freeze over.

Slightly off point, but every time those girls on Pretty Wild start crying, it triggers rage in me. I think different women cry for different reasons. I experience these young women's tears as a means of manipulation because they're not getting what they want. And it makes me crazy.

It's a great article, and she's an admirable woman, but I was left wondering where in the hell the children's father fit in the picture. If he is not in their lives, that's one thing, but if he is, it seemed a bit disrespectful to him to tell the story as if he didn't really exist.

@H_is_for_Heretic: Looks like Chucky and his bride had twins.

@philoclea: Why are you incapable of accepting that it goes both ways? If people want to be part of a social network, making it harder to be in touch will make them less engaged in the social network. Full stop. Friendships require work, to be sure, but in the scrum of life and work, making it easy to be in touch…

@philoclea: You seem to have very strong feelings about this but no one *owes* it to others to find ways of getting in touch with them. The choice not to participate in social media carries consequences with it — one of which is that you are less accessible. I throw lots of parties and if someone is important to me,…

@philoclea: I wouldn't put it as strongly as the original poster, but I do think it's a fair point that if a person doesn't choose to be on Facebook and is under 35, they can't really complain when they're out of the loop.

I was struck by the fact that she has worked pretty continuously all of her life. A real testament to the notion that life doesn't end at 65.

@golden-goose: Yes. I was confused for a moment.

I'd have more sympathy for her if she wasn't foisting her messed up relationship to food and exercise on us with the entitled mess that is GOOP.

This just looks like a wife who's been taking lots of dance classes in a desperate bid to do something with her life, and a husband who is game to play along for some charity event. It's only awkward, to me, insofar as she really needs to stop trying to turn herself into a singer-dancer.

@Chedea: She *is* insane.

@CatherineSloper: also, the butt job?

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: Thanks, I feel less of a failure!

@pmarble: And somehow my linking skills are non-existent. If you want to see her you have to click on the text.

Here is a picture of Sarah Vine. Not buying her over-the-top "gorilla-face" crap for a nanosecond. This is a classic case of a beautiful woman magnifying tiny flaws as if they were the end of the world to con insecure women into buying useless unguents and creams. Fuck you Sarah Vine.

I'm a meat eater and still this makes me shudder. Looks like something Louise Bourgeois would sculpt.

She and her daughters seemed like really nice and good people. I have to admit I was impressed.

@Anti-Patriarchy: Well golly, thanks for the tip.

Also, I really hate these people.
