I had the good sense to find Bonnie Fuller distasteful when she was editor of YM. If she couldn't get me when I was a teenager (albeit a Sassy-loving one), there is no way she'll get me as a grown-ass woman. #hollywoodlife
I'm honestly not sure who this site is aimed at. If she's aiming at teens, the lingo she's using is painfully dated (I don't even think Paris Hilton says "That's hot" anymore) and if she's aiming at women, the language is just condescending and annoying, as it doesn't recognize the stupidity (and chance to make jokes) about things like "BFFs" and such. It also seems to be set up to be the voice of "your BFF, Bonnie," but the site is written in the royal we a la Perez Hilton, which is off-putting as well. #hollywoodlife
I just bopped over there to check it out and, holy crap, it is the most visually unappealing website I've seen in quite a long time. Little Ricky could have done better and she's 6. #hollywoodlife
I appreciate Ashley's tired gaze. Splendid cropping!
I don't buy it. The language used throughout the site is a little demeaning- it reminds me of Regina George's mother: 'How are my best girlfrends? Happy hour is from four to six! What's all the hot gossip? All the cool jams?'
I wish the 'female audience' could be marketed to- that's exactly what this is, marketing- with a bit more diversity in the content. Celebrities! There's a million of them, and we'll only talk to you about the same tired twenty! #hollywoodlife
I clearly remember when Marie Claire released it' first US issue with Fuller at the helm (I am almost certain it was her, at least). I would have been 13, I guess. Claudia S was on the cover. I thought the magazine was SO cool.
At some point today, I'm going to be hoppin' on over to the dream-decoder site. Because this thread has stirred up all kinds of remembered dreams that I can't understand. Like, once when I was younger, I had a dream in which I somehow had a dead body to dispose of, don't remember if I'd killed him or what. So I ended up digging a hole in the living room floor under the Christmas tree and burying him there. Another time, I had a very vivid dream in which I was driving my own car and something was bumping around in the trunk as I made a turn, and I knew that it was a body I had in the trunk. The worst part of these dreams was the sick, panicked feeling I had when I realized I had to find a way to dispose of the dead people. It felt very real. Awful! So, so awful! And gross!
In the past week, I've had three vivid dreams: 1. My filling pops out (which means something ending or something?) 2. My crush and I were flirting and were just about to kiss when I woke up (which means I'm not sure how he feels about me) and I spilled something in front of him (which apparently shows my social awkwardness). 3. I killed a dude and then denied it but then admitted it because he did something really horrible and totally deserved it. (I forget what that one means.)
I NEVER remember dreams, so this is actually kinda neat.
1) - I often think I'm having recurring dreams, but never know if it's programmed into the dream for me to think its recurring or if it's actually been a recurring dream - those suckers are sneaky like that ::
2) - Things happen while you're dreaming that are completely normal and unremarkable in the realm of your dreamverse, then you wakeup and snap back into reality and realize, 'Well THAT'S not the way things are' - for example: my room will be on the roof of my house in a dream and no one in dreamverse ever brings it up, or thinks its cause for alarm - it's COMPLETELY NORMAL.
If anyone wants to analyze my recurring dream (I can never see clearly and never straight ahead, only very fuzzy and from my periphery, and I'm always stuck to the spot and can't move even though I'm in some set of odd circumstances where I would want to get away), I would appreciate it... :)

...the fuck? Is Bonnie that one English teacher I had in middle school who wanted to be hip and with it? #hollywoodlife

She doesn't speak to me so much anymore.

I constantly dream about armageddon, as well.

Like, say if you're getting ready for a date, and you just can't decide on what to wear? I dream this SO MUCH. It's insanely frustrating.
