If Marie Claire is wondering about declining newsstand sales, they should look no further than that horrendous cover.

"You know, Renee, I'm not sure that shapeless Pepto-Bismol pink dress is doing us any favors--I don't think anyone would mistake us for Cosmo like this! The solution as I see it is for you to simultaneously hike up your skirt and pull down your neckline. Just like that! Hot."

When, oh when will Garden & Gun do a reality show?

Missy is the small town girl anxious to learn how to Root and Toot correctly! Fanny is a sassy South Carolinian who is tired of all this rap music! And Nicole is the uppity New Yorker who gets shot by Missy and Fanny. Stay tuned to "Rebel Yell", the new reality show that Fair and (un)Balanced!

When will people who work for fashion magazines realize that we don't think that they're all that interesting?

I'd rather see a show about a female floor trader on the NYSE. That would fucking rock.

Oh my! Another high-fashion "reality" show set in New York? Will sylphlike young things mince about in clothes I could never fit into or afford? Will they forget if they live in "like, Midtown"? Will their apartment be fabulously decorated and notoriously free of weird/icky supers or cockroaches? I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SUSPEND MY DISBELIEF!

Marie Claire has always bothered me. They try to seem really highbrow ("Claire Danes lived for eight months in an African village to get this cover!!") and yet still have the most insipid shit articles (Five men are shown with the heading, "Which is GAY?! Which is CHEATING?! Which is MR. RIGHT?!").

if they want this to be a 'reality' show, i wanna see these interns living in crappy NYC apartments living off of cigs, diet coke and ramen - not all moving into the same apartment while the bosses throw them a party. give me a break. im done with these fashion shows until we get to see how very unglamourous the process of 'fashion' really is.

@junkyardarts: Srsly. If you're starting out on your own in NYC, you're going to deal with scrimping to make your rent; you're going to survive for at least a week or more on toast; you're going to get acquainted with a variety and frequency of arthropods that is rivaled only in the lushest tropical locales; your landlord/super is going to weird you the fuck out; and you're going to be more worried about your feet roasting/freezing/carrying you two miles or more than whether or not you can cram them into the latest Louboutins.

I love that Marie Claire actually tries to address global women's issues.

I wonder if this has come to a screeching halt with the introduction of La Garcia...

slightly off topic - but nothing annoys me more than movies/tv shows that have women running around in heels as if thats what they were made for.

@SmallbutMighty: I saw a promo for some TV movie with Mira Sorvino during the GG's where one of the cast people or the writer or something said, "She's like Indiana Jones in heels!" and then proceeded to cut to Mira Sorvino in stilletto's doing archeological stuff.

It IRKED.

@SmallbutMighty: In my Action Heroine book, it actually discussing how an action hero woman can run in high heels. Every time I read it, I weep with laughter.

I was actually reading it to minisparks the other day, as we had been watching SuperFriends and she could not understand how Wonder Woman could run in high heeled boots. We laughed for eternity.

@SmallbutMighty: Its more believable if its a Tipi Hedren run where the knees stay together and they're tiny steps. I find I do this if I'm wearing a pencil skirt, so I automatically look out for the nearest phone box.

I can't get past the headline about Renee Zellweger. "I'm not single--I'm busy!" SO DON'T CALL ME A SPINSTER WHO SITS AROUND WITH 84 CATS AND CRYING OVER JIM CARREY BECAUSE I WILL CUT YOU! FUCK YOU SMUG MARRIEDS!
