I would LOVE to be able to share with everyone all of the things I've thought and judged with my friends as often as we do them- which, as you can guess, would be enough to keep even the MOST unfocused person occupied for quite some time.
I believe it is incumbent upon me to start this (hopefully regular) flurry of postings with a solid one for which I cannot take full credit. My "dear" friend, Cindy, and I have slowly but surely combed our favorite magazines, blogs, and twitter feeds for our favorite 'love to hate them' phrases.
Ahem... they are.... as follows:
Words and Phrases “Blogstresses” NEED to Stop Using in Order for Us to Take Them Seriously
- “I die...”
- “My dear friends” or “dear friend”, etc.
- “adore”
- “divine”
- “simply divine"
- “obsessed”
- “juxtaposition”
- "dine" or "dined"
- "this piece", "that piece", "my favorite piece", etc.
- "vintage _____"
Eh? Eh? Are we right? Haha Unfortunately, about halfway down this list, I started to realize that I was just making an entire list of things I don't like that Rachel Zoe says, so I just decided to cap it off at an even 10. I don't mean to be cruel, as I still am impressed with a lot of the work these people do, it's just... ugh. I guess I just feel like there's more than one way to skin a cat (so to speak), and dressing it up in pretty clothes first (metaphor for language, people) is probably not the route I'd go.
Thoughts? What are some of the phrases/words that make you cringe?
Hint (not that you NEED one for this!): ever notice how all editorial interviews with celebs pretty much start out the same way? "______ breezed into the Chateau Marmontunnoticed, despite having just braved the paparazzi last night at the premiere for her latest film, __________. She fluttered across the room and tumbled into the booth, where she sighed a deep sigh. Of relief? Of utter exhaustion? As she ordered the mussel soup and pinto salad, I decided I was about to find out..."
