Serena's pic looks sorta dumb. Whimsical staring into the distance? I mean, was there no other pose they could have had her do? #glamourdecember2009cover
If we're not of the demo to feel sufficiently "aspirationalized" by a standard and previously-repeatedly-seen blond/bland, they think we'll run out and buy them all to collect the set because we might never see it again. #glamourdecember2009cover
Oh Glamour. Putting pep in your step is a colloquialism, not a literal prescription. How very Amelia Bedelia of you. Next month I expect advice on putting garbage in your drawers to achieve the desired 'junk in the trunk' look. #glamourdecember2009cover
I would much rather read a magazine with Amy Poehler on the cover. What can Jessica Simpson say that hasn't been said already? I know Jessica sells magazines, but honestly? I skipped her article when I received the mag in the mail a few months ago.
I'm sure we could come up a list of potential cover models that is much better and more interesting than having the same handful of girls pose over and over again. #glamourdecember2009cover
Well, you guys, the only two of those women who are under 30 are black and the only blonde woman is like, old enough to have kids! You can't expect them to put people like that on the cover every month! People only want to see skinny blonde 20-somethings.
You know, this comment started out as an over the top joke, but I suddenly realized everything (except maybe that last sentence) is totally true for Glamour. I feel icky.
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: My first reaction to seeing all the covers lined up was that it was some kind of readership balkinization. Like they looked at their women of the year ladies, and were like, "Well, sure, sporty women like Serena, and white urban women like Pohler, and young black women relate to Rhianna.... but none of these women has universal appeal. You know, like Sienna Miller. Everyone LOVES Sienna Miller because she's a completely blank slate!" And so they did a bunch of different covers to hedge their bets, because they just can't imagine that any one of them could be liked and admired by a diverse readership. Because they think their readership is stupid. Otherwise, explain "Easy Beauty Tricks! 3-minute Miracles Inside" #glamourdecember2009cover
Ladies of the world: Not everyone needs to be blonde. Really. Sometimes it makes you look about 74 yrs. older than you actually are, case in point Kat McPhee. She's a gorgeous girl, but the 'do she's rocking seems to have stolen a page from Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken's playbook. Not good.
Serena Williams looks like a goddess, literally. Dare I say that I don't think I've ever seen someone rock the Grecian look quite so fiercely. Get it girl. #glamourwomenoftheyear
The way Stella McCartney's shoes blend into the black carpet had me all lost and confused for a good thirty seconds. Dear god, what's going on? Her toes DISAPPEARED! #glamourwomenoftheyear
I have this theory that Steven Tyler shops at Chico's. My MIL would never wear all of the items together, but I'm pretty sure she owns many of the same things in ST's wardrobe. #glamourwomenoftheyear

Why can't each of these women have a month all by herself? WHY? #glamourdecember2009cover

All he needs is a pixie cut and he could be on the cover of their catalog. #glamourwomenoftheyear
