    I'm 32, I have no children and I think everything is hopeless. Am I in the right track then?

    Perhaps having children was her dream and she meant that, reaching her dream, she thought life would be easier because she would no longer be chasing the dream. Then she woke up one day and realized she would spend her life chasing her children.

    Is this a common thing for women to think?

    'Oh, now that I have two crying, crawling, pooping machines wandering my home - Easy livin' from here on out.'

    Um no.

    I thought that the worst mistake that a woman could make is to join a gang of assassains and then attempt to kill Uma Thurman when she tries to leave said gang.

    @lilbobbytables is a la-di-da feminist: I thought the worst mistake a woman could make involved getting in a love triangle with Batman and Robin when technically you were a plant or something.

    @badmutha: Yeah I was just about to say that...I don't understand why celebrities think it's okay to relate to the "troubles of the working class" it's so insulting. I get that everyone has issues, drama, heartache, problems but really most of that is just bs. People with real struggle don't usually have a voice but to think that they have some sort of responsibility to speak to us like they've "been there" is annoying

    @badmutha: In her defence, the quote is part of a wide-ranging interview in which she talks about her past, about motherhood, and about her life as she grows older.
    The specific quote here is about how she thought, at the age of 32, that she could finally relax - she had a great husband and two kids and she felt settled in her life. But as we all know, that "great" husband cheated on her and her whole life was turned upside down. That kind of emotional turmoil is tough, whoever you are.
    (I really like Uma - can you tell?)

    @heykoukla: Agreed. And as an aside when I was angsty circa 1995 Ethan was my daydream of choice. That all came to a screeching halt when he cheated on Uma. Now I'm just completely indifferent about him.

    After working at lady mags for over 20+ years, I still cannot find the energy to gloat at the demise of the industry that intially bought me such joy. There are so many good, hard working editors that are jobless, or like me reinventing themselves in a dying industry that is innundated with young women, and men willing to work for nothing, that live at home. We "Oldies"..can't compete...

    Much as I dislike the ladymags, I work in print media. As goes their advertising, so goes all other print publications' advertising. It is a deeply disturbing state of affairs and not one I wish to gloat about.

    The September InStyle was heavy as hell and chock full of ads and fashion spreads for thigh high boots. I don't want 3 pounds of ads and I certainly can't wear thigh high boots to work, thanks.

    I'm immediately brought back to Top Model and the shoot they did in the favels. I was absolutely enraged that episode--how dare you go into slums and model clothing worth thousands and thousands of dollars. I'm considering giving up the show entirely after that little stunt, frankly. The juxtaposition of poverty and wealth would mean something in fashion if it SAID anything that added to our understanding of poverty or contributed in some way to make things better. It hasn't... yet.
