I’m catching up after a month of being too busy to blog and just got to this post of yours. It reminds me of the magazine “Real Simple”. A friend got me a subscription, thinking it would be right up my alley. To me, Real Simple sounds like a glossy version of the Tightwad Gazette, but no, it’s full of Buy this, buy this buy this and buy this, wrapped in 3 layers of packaging for you to throw away. Ugh. Sounds like they’ve found a new target.

Gee, and I thought there was a mother within the woman, and not the other way around. What a revolting tagline. What's next, "the new magazine for the person around the vagina?"

Loved your post.

Sounds like you awesome Philly women need to get together. Wish I were there with you to raise a ruckus.

You will, however, be a cool aunt when you give your only niece a Tiffany & Co. silver rattle. Won’t you?

You are my new heroine.

Marry me!! Well not exactly, since I"m married already and straight, but you get the picture.

My favorite:
The perfect haircut for my child?! Shorter, goddamit. A BIT of pampering? That's how women have been fobbed off for friggin' years.

3 weeks ago I took exactly that path with 7 odd socks. And d’you know what? the next day i find five other halves lurking down the side of the washing machine. do you think if I just pretended to through them away the same thing would’ve happened?

Just found you and I have to say, this is one of the best posts I’ve read on the mommy/marketing conundrum. I would subscribe to this magazine just so I could then burn it in a public square.

Hi there, just stumbled across your blog from CityMama and Wow! What a way to end my blog reading for the night. That magazine has just gotta go. And, I have to say:
“the beauty of stubbly legs and unpainted nails”
Now that’s a beauty contest I just might win!!!
Thanks for that. I needed that. Glad I found you.
P.S. I live in Philly too!
