Argh.  I tried reading an issue of this magazine, b/c I think I like Oprah?  I don't know, I've never seen her show, but she seems intelligent, she encourages people to read, she was great in The Color Purple, so I thought, ok, I'll try it...so, so, so, SORRY I did.  First of all, some guy is writing a column about how no woman over 40 should show her upper arms or elbows...? Then, in another article in the same issue, Ellen Barkin provides some further fashion insight by stating that women "between 40 and forever" should NEVER show their knees, and display their real appeal by being "mysterious" and draping themselves in billowy outfits.  What is this?   So, every woman over forty should start dressing up like a hot air balloon?

Then...THEN there's the psycho-babble bs where some woman is hypnotized to figure out why she is so "shy", and reveals a memory of her dad pushing her off his lap when she was two b/c he had an erection...hi? Do I really need to know this?  No, I don't!  That was the last straw for me, so I put it in the magazine bin at the gym.  I should have lit a match to it, but it's fire season.  

Great.  Now I need to watch Dr. Phil to try and heal some of the wounds I suffered by reading this trash.
