I LOOOOVE it. I felt exactly the same the other day when I picked up a Cosmo when bored at work. Within 5 pages I had been told I was fat, under-achiving, too educated to ever 'get' a man and that my man prefers me to suck his ears than go down on him. Oh and I'm stupid for working hard to pay off my mortagage 10 years early rather than blowing all that cash on flimsy made crappy and quite frankly ugly new fashions. Also I should stop riding my bike and get a cute little pink scooter that will kill me on the freeway, oh and I should get rid of the horses and garden coz my time spent out in the garden/woods/paddock with all that fresh air and normal dirt will scar my pores forever and ever. My dogs should be shot right away; they aren't small, cute, fluffy white things that I can carry in a prada handbag so are therefore no use. LOL!!!! I threw it down and went back to reading my firefighters manual, I think I prefer getting self-actualised through the things/people I love and feel free and easy with. But then again, I do have fresh ( ... )

LOL.

But remember, you should only ride said pink scooter while wearing a $200.00 dress to show off that tight ass that you manage to firm up in the office in your spare time to impress HIM.

Us women who live in REALITY should start our own magazine!

Can we call it 'PMS'? 'Please My Sisters?' ;-) Damn, and here I am riding in leathers that don't show off my ass at all... just keep it in one piece if I ever come off, damn damn damn.... :D

there's already a PMS magazine out there, somewhere. At least for now...

AMEN.

I read Cosmo at work with the same seriousness as I read OK! or People.

Wow :) thanks

AWESOME!!!
Beautiful in every respect. You know what I think you should do? Print up about 80 copies of this, and then on your next trip to the supermarket slip one into the pages of each Cosmo on the magazine rack for the prospective buyer to find. Save the world!

I'm linking to this, by the way.

ELAYNE! I've been gone so long, catching up on your blogs lately. I missed all my online buddies.
And THANK YOU for your compliments! :)

I came here via Elayne's link... this is fabulous, you MUST send it to Cosmo, as well as any magazines or blogs that focus on these topics, or dammit, write your own book and call it "Open Letter to Cosmo" or something. Awesome.

Thank you! :) I'm going to "friend" you. Any "friend" of Elayne is welcome here.
