Not cool. NOT COOL. And introducing my baby, Jestiny.

Goddamn, I love GOOP.

Everyone has the right to Photoshop collages of their favorite outfits, accessories, take Depth of Field-heavy photographs of their recipes, write earnestly about their current whims and passions, and I love that someone with best friends named Madonna and Stella McCartney, a husband who tours the globe and children named after Biblical figures and tree fruits is doing it too. It is a great equalizer, because it is kind of lame, kind of obsessive, and strange - "I'm just typing this out! I think people want to know how I recreated a McIsley from Pine State Biscuits!" and I think that she is genuinely excited about what she is sharing with us, and that is great. Let lameness cloak itself over all, paying no attention to economic standing.

Also, her recipe for turkey is based off the same one I use for my own. It is really good, and keeps things really, really moist. If you won't do it because she is a proponent, do it because you like good turkey.

Last night my oldest friends and I had dinner together, and the friend I carpooled with and I made ourselves sick by coming up with names for the Duggars. They've graced each one of their 17 children with a name that begins with the letter 'J'. If you think that has limited them, think again. 

I think it would be great if they went against the grain for the newest child her uterus is coddling, like "Jinger! Jedidiah! James! Joyanna! Carl."

But then we started altering every name we could think of. My favorites were Jiffany. Jachel. Jella. Jallulah. Jhoebe. Jeven. Jrandon. And Jyle. Jucas! Jarly. Jeter! Jamanda. And Jencer.

Sounds a bit like the episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway? I watched last night where they had to replace every 'p' with 'g.' Funny.

I have nothing against Gwyneth, but I'm a bit skeptic. I don't know why but I think its as if she's saying "I'm so famous and great, and you all want to be me. So here's a little peek into my life."

And yeah maybe a lot of people want to be her..
