You Say You Want A Revolution
Ashlee Simpson has provoked anger in the readers of Marie Claire; her hypocrisy about her looks was the last straw for those who are fed up with lies about plastic surgery and weight loss from celebrities. (Incidentally I had no idea Marie Claire had readers. In fact, I had no idea that magazine even existed anymore.) Simpson was quoted as saying:
"Everyone is made differently, and that's what makes us beautiful and unique... I want girls to look in the mirror and feel confident."
And then she went and had a nose job. Marie Claire recieved more than 1,000 angry letters, many of which are being published in their August issue. Now the magazine promises to "shift away from celebrity inanity and toward more substantive topics." Seriously, this magazine still exists?

LMAO I'm just as surprised as you are about marie claire still being around, I keep wondering how they stay up, thoe 1000 readers must be the only ones they have.
I'm not surprised though by Ashlee Simpson, she's just another stupid vain hollywood nobody. I love how people think stars are so deep and bla bla bla, she's not the one talking, it's her publicist.
I actually have a subscription to Marie Claire. It's actually not all celebrity fluff and they do publish interesting stories that revolve around global issues. It's more interesting than Cosmopolitan at least! That said, I, too, was disappointed that they chose Ashlee Simpson for their cover.
Mo, is it OK with you if I send the Ally Weinberg comment over to Paul at BigFatBlog? Or you can do it yourself, of course, but I think he'd be very interested.
Thanks.
Sure Dolley, but I think she posted that on a number of different blogs. Feel free to send it along though, just in case Paul didn't see it!
I'm with the anonymous commentor (except that I don't have my own subscription). I have mild love/hate relationship with MarieClaire. In some respects they are a typical fashion magazine, with typically inane fashion magazine crap, but then every month they have these really interesting pieces on international women and children's issues.
