I Root For Diet Bloggers To Fail

I Root For Diet Bloggers To Fail

I don’t typically think of myself as a terrible person.

Nor do I think of myself as someone who is really against human vanity and hates it when people try to lose weight. Obviously, I’ve done stupid diets myself. But when I read blogs where women chronicle everything they ate that day, I root for them to just give in and eat say, an entire cheesecake. Hell, three entire cheesecakes. More »

You Say Potato, I Say “Why Are You So Afraid Of Death?”

You Say Potato, I Say "Why Are You So Afraid Of Death?"

Look, at some point, everyone is on a diet. Okay, not everyone, but lots of people. We’ve been on diets. And it’s annoying to have someone make delicious cinnabons for the office and not be able to eat them. It’s irritating. We get it. We’ve been there. But sending out notes like this one just makes it seem like you don’t understand that you’re still going to die.

Do You Like Seeing Models And Junk Food Together?

Do You Like Seeing Models And Junk Food Together?

Look, I love cupcakes. And all kinds of junk food, really. But I’m always somewhat perplexed when advertisers or fashion editors want to group them together – which seems to happen all the time lately.

It’s not that models are eating the cupcakes in some attempt to be a down to earth normal girl. They’re always just holding them out, beckoning, or staring at them. I feel like editorials are setting us up to see sweets as the last temptation to which people can give into. In these editorials and advertisements, they seem showcased as almost more desirable than the fashion or the products. Kind of weird? Little bit? More »

Do You Stress Eat? How Do You Handle That?

Do You Stress Eat? How Do You Handle That?

You don’t mind if I just take TheGloss and turn it into my personal food diary for a minute, do you? No? I mean, my grandparent’s friends already think that since I work on the internet I run a blog where I list everything I ate that day, just like their 14 year old granddaughter. So, I figure I’m just giving into a natural impulse, here.

So, since you’re cool with it: I stress eat, how about you?

Actresses and Their Big, Full-Mouthed Lies

Actresses and Their Big, Full-Mouthed Lies

I think it’s safe to say that most of us, by this point, find the requisite “I love to eat all the bacon and all the cheese and are you going to finish those fries?” comments from actresses in magazine interviews more than a little irritating. We know that they’re not indicative of anything near the truth: every woman in Hollywood cannot be blessed with the ability to consume thousands of calories a day and remain rail thin. It’s just not statistically possible. More »
