She's not afraid of what you have to say in the long run though it would sting at first, and she's honest about that fact.

Khloe is hotter, funnier and more laid back than her sisters.

You can see how madly in love she is with Lamar Odom!

Not only is she a businesswoman with her sisters, she has a hosting gig for The X Factor and manages to be a housewife. I call that "being superwoman."

She gets naked for PETA, not Playboy!

"Honestly, I'm happy with myself if I'm a little heavier. I realized: Why am I trying to conform to someone else's idea of beauty  I think I'm beautiful either way." (to Glamour Magazine)

She's not afraid to be goofy (Henry the Giraffe. End of Discussion.)


She buys her makeup from drugstores like the rest of us! (*mock le shock!*)

"I hear the pitter-patter of little dinosaur feet."

Khloe is apart of the anti-bullying Hollywood posse  

She's the best older sister to Rob, Kendall and Kylie. 




Let me guess... the "How Well Do You Know Your Breasts" graph is a trick question? No two breasts are the same... sometimes on a single person. And don't presume to know my boobs... that's my girlfriend's job!

(on "We Were Born this Way') Yeah OK Glamour, because gay people are so extraordinarily different than straight people you want to put random gay people in your magazine just to ask questions of what their childhood was like. NEXT!

Was there really any need to advertise Justin Bieber's new cologne? This is a woman's magazine not a teenager's magazine!

What They Did Right

Advertising Essie's new polish line for Breast Cancer Awareness

Pimping out Parks and Recreation ("And Six More Becauses...")

"Five Things I can Do Now That I'm Not in Harry Potter" Best. List. Ever.

Making Emma Watson look drop-dead AWESOME.
Featuring Hannah Simone... and in a Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit.


Helloooo pretty Louis Vutton and Yayoi Kusama purse! ---------->

Rising Modern Family's Sarah Hyland's fashion credibility by one hundred and fifty spokes. ("hey beautiful")

A gay-boy movie with a Danish actor that slightly mirrors "A Star is Born?" Watching "Keep the Lights On!"

Making me hate Lea Michele a little less, but I still find her visually annoying!

Making Katharine McPhee look a little less bland and boring as she usually looks. 

Featuring Ed Speelers and Laura Carmichael from Downton Abbey.

You can only pick ONE pair of colored jeans because there's no buy one get one half off discount? FAIL!

The perfect sweaters are a real bitch to find.

You can't find the right shade of gray polish that compliments your skin tone.

Weighing out how much sweater/scarf bulk looks on your summer-slimmed down body. (Damn you, weight loss since last fall!)

Realizing last year's fall wardrobe really sucks and you have to buy EVERYTHING again.


Budgeting on fashion boots. 

Really wanting a cute long sleeve dress when you know you need the fall essentials: sweaters, solid colored long sleeve t-shirts, jeans, heavy-but-light layered jackets (my current shopping list)

Overdosing on polka dots. (It doesn't sound like a problem but when you have too much of it...)

The great hunt for shoes that aren't fashion boots but fall appropriate with both jeans AND skirts/dresses.

Realizing there's never enough thigh-length sweaters/shirts... some days you just want to wear no-effort leggings and there's never a top to match!

1. Stars and Metric start showing up on your Ipod or MP3 player (perfect fall music)
2. You have a craving to be wearing thigh high boots, scarves, layers
3. You have a craving for soup and hot casseroles
4. You are perfecting your "Carrie strut" specialized for the cooler weather (what? I'm the only one?) 
5. Nothing sounds better than scary movies assisted with a BIG bag of assorted candy
6. You start painting your nails the "it-colors" for fall a month or two earlier
7. You start planning your Halloween costume 
8. Staring at leaves and nature waiting for them to brown up
9. When you realize the connection between Autumn and the smell of old books (for real, it exists)
10. When walking in cooler weather with a to-go coffee mug in one hand and a large Gothic novel in the other sounds extremely appealing.


What They Did Right 

Thank you for the dress in the second cover insert with Victoria Beckham -- it makes her look big and that makes all womankind feel good about themselves.

Once more, THANK YOU for featuring Downton Abbey, and especially the amazing Sybil Harem Pants outfit!

Making everyone fall in love with Victoria Beckham... hard

This: "Oh, and I hate piercings in general anywhere but the ears. I mean, fancy having your clitoris pierced?" - Victoria Beckham


Featuring Elizabeth Olson, featuring Elizabeth Olson, featuring Elizabeth Olson!! (in Essie's "Who's She Red.") (a girl in uniform)


What They Did Wrong

Too many cologne ads and samplers! (Seriously, one of them smelled like the crap my brother uses)







Dear Glamour, if you're so concerned with weight stereotype (The Secret Way People Judge You) then why don't you help out the cause a little by covering larger women's lifestyles? And you do realize some people really don't care about being judged -- some can laugh it off it's not all out discrimination.

(Conti'd) It's a fixed study when you're giving black and white terms to show how shallow the human race really is.

Not everyone fits into your three standards of body size -- no matter how progressive you are with a pro-plus agenda 

"Health Insight" truly insults my intelligence. I ate far more than she did and worked out without one complaint when I was losing my weight!

Convincing me to DOWNLOAD Regina Spektor's new album (obsessed!/it's on) Bitch please I'm buying the CD.

Making Katharine McPhee's face look lie a Barbie! Retouch much?


What They Did Right

  • Making Me Mist Over (My Father Really Was Superman)
  • Asking adult film stars on sex, they would know from trial and error versus the scientific stuff (...that's what sex is all about, right?)






Hating all over Katy Perry’s barrel bangs… (you know if you wrote that in the ‘40s housewives would have burned y’all at the stake)

I don’t care how humorously you use the word “lesbian,” Barney Stinson, but that is not cool to put into a woman-centered magazine which “lesbians” (whatever that means nowadays) may or may not read to describe a man as in terms of emotions. (I still love *you* NPH, just not your character) [What Men Think]

The whole contradicting article of “30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She’s 30” (Whatever happened to live each day to its fullest and act as young as you feel and not agonize over a pop-cultural psychological need to act ones year number?)

Lisa Ling’s #10 on “30 Things…” “That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over.” (Would you like to tell childhood abuse victims that?)

Isn’t it a little counterproductive to have only ONE “do” on the whole page of “The Do’s and Don’ts of Summer Cover-Ups”?

What they did right
  • The New Girl douche-bag jar as the best prop on TV
  • Everything about Kelly Osbourne’s “My Dos and Don’ts of BodyConfidence(every woman should read this since she is a girl’s best friend)
  • This (Esther Williams Swimwear modcloth $90) --> (seriously, someone get me this suit!)
  • Untouched amateur Pictures in “Swimsuit Special” -- now why can’t they do that with celebrities?




Overhyping Rooney Mara (she looks like an owl trying to look like Audrey Hepburn... just stop!)

Putting Elizabeth Olsen at number 6 and Zooey Deschanel at number 10 of "The 25 Hottest Celebrities of 2012" (Lizzie Olsen should be #1!)

Some of us can't wear heels and mini-flats, so what do you suggest then? (Quick: Heels or Flats?") 


What Glamour Did Right

  • Defending Yellow
  • Confirming Kelly Osbourne really is the best friend you'll ever have (Hollywood's New Girlfriend Network)
  • Confirming the awesomeness of Giuliana Rancic before and after mastectomy (Gliuliana and Bill Rancic: Diary of a Mastectomy)
  • They make me wish I had super feminine Oxford shoes and a boyish hat. WANT!
  • Rose gold (coppery pink) hair dye, TRIPLE WANT!
  • Promoting Sharon van Etten (Five Things I'm Loving This Month)




Presenting Amanda Seyfried as tan… and a brunette … and making her pose in skinny Men’s Magazine poses.  (I want my 24 hour gap birthday girl mate blond and luminous as she is, not clearly photoshopped in the face and eyes, refer to Reason #3)

Headlining Katharine McPhee in “Everyone’s Pulling a Marilyn” over Megan Hilty!

Reminding me that 23 % of women of my age group are shallow in doctoring their personal photos to “look better.” (Retouching: How Much is Too Much?)

Many girls, like myself, have to be careful with our prints and have to actually try on a dress to make sure before deciding what printed dress is best on us because we don’t have a standard body size. (it’s called trial and error, not let’s read a magazine to decide) (Spring Fashion/Shop the Trends)

Not devoting a larger article to Max Greenfield (Schmidt from “New Girl”)

Many of the trend fashions (Bright pants/skirts, shorts,          heels, ) may not actually work on all body types and there should be an explicit warning or exceptions written.

Categorizing body type in only 3 sizes! (We are all women here, we know this is so true -- oh wait, fashion was originally conceived by men? Oh never mind then *eyeroll*)

Not including Essie’s “Calicos and Turquoise” polish in “OMG… Green Nails!”

The bottomline of listening to Fun.’s new album “Listen now and you’ll be able to say you knew them when.” (Uuuuhhh, you do know that Some Nights is their sophomore album, right?)

Holding an anti-food torch with shallow journalism, i.e. “Avocado: the healthy fat - It keeps you feeling full. A good thing!”(I thought women were finally undergoing a new attitude on health… Glamour must still be in the skinny-at-all-costs agenda... then two or three pages later posing the question “Can you be fat and healthy?”)

So it’s supposed to make me feel better about my own health that celebrities admit exercise suck?

Most Inconsistent Article of the Month Award goes to “Are You the Star of Your Life?” (Because I’m supposed to be both a diva but to “up our wattage a little, or a lot.” So which is it? We spend more than enough time balancing so many abstractions as women, Glamour, cut us a damn break!)

What They Did Right...

  • Showing Kesha’s beautiful freckles (I am obsessed with her freckles now!)
  • Thank you for sounding off on photo-shop, does that mean you’ll make a non-touched up edition someday soon?
  • Promoting avocadoes despite the shitty write-up
  • Promoting Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer SPF 15 (A permanent fixture in my beauty toolbox)
  • Making a shout out to Downton Abbey
  • Letting model and rock-child Chelsea Tyler grace your pages

1. It is perfectly OK to buy a complete outfit to wear on the warmest day without a jacket. 

2. Staying home on a Friday night may sound miserable, but it's even better to spice it up with an oatmeal/egg white/honey facial and painting your nails so you look good for the coming week.

3. Thou shall change up your hair product brands, it may even be better for your hair. 
(Recommendation: Garnier Fructise XXL Pump for thin hair)

4. There's nothing wrong with looking weird with your fashion choices; spring is a hard and unpredictable season to dress for.

5.You are still allowed to be drinking hot tea, it's not too hot out yet.

6. It is more than fine that your nails are decked out in stereotypical spring polish.

7. Do not be ashamed to be reading so much Glamour magazine you start making lists like them. *eyeshift*

8. Changing up the way you put on eyeliner is perfectly acceptable, sometimes a mistake may actually look cool. 

9. To have a "Whimsy and Cute" playlist on your mobile music device, it's even better to be played with a cute sundress on (worn ironically of course!)


10. Thou shall wear yellow on a crap day, it'll make you more sunshiny-er.
