cover lies
It's time for
ELLE's annual "intelligent women" issue! Thing is, the only examples of "intelligence" the magazine offers are Natalie "I went to Harvard" Portman, a horribly-timed interview with Michelle Williams, and something called "The Beauty Genius Awards." So, basically, instead of featuring stories about intelligent women who actually deserve accolades,
ELLE gives us celebrities, hairdressers, and make-up artists... all shilling products from
ELLE advertisers! (Speaking of intelligence, who chose that horrid cover image of Ms. Portman?) After the jump, Intern Cheryl and I "deconstruct" the complicated
cover lies of the April 2008 issue of
ELLE.
