Eating People is Wrong

I have absolutely nothing against Gwyneth Paltrow--Shakespeare in Love may have even been my favorite movie for a while (because really, how many movies are made for Eng. Litt. people?!).

But this month, when my subscription (thanks, friend L!) showed up, I knew I couldn't leave it out on the kitchen table the way I usually do with Bon Appetit's gorgeous food porn. This month, Gwyneth Paltrow is on the cover.



Not saying Gwyneth isn't gorgeous, just saying I don't want to eat her face. I'm sure she too would encourage that sentiment.

A friend sent a scathing remark to the editor about it (and CC-ed me). I understand there are more People Magazine-like covers in the future. I suspect my friend - and you - aren't the only ones unhappy about it!

AAL, Good for your friend--clearly she/he isn't a whiner like me :).

And the People Magazine part of your comment hit a nerve. That might be the most bothersome issue--that I have little interest in celebrities and definitely (and snobbishly) do not want to be perceived as some one who is.

"bad idea, right?"

More meetings today, including two terribly fraught ones... including one in the boardroom where 99% of the portraits on the wall are of old...
