“Charlie, do you know what the number one killer of women is?”
“No.” He knifes off a bit of spinach croissant, and looks slightly annoyed as pastry flakes fly into the air, like buttery snow. “Actually, isn’t it heart–”
“I thought it was toyfriends who were forced to watch Cashmere Sex and the Mafia Jungle,” I say. I break off a chunk of my Belgian chocolate and cherry scone, and the side of it keeps crumbling, like a rock slide off a miniature mountain of dessert. “Which would be fair. But it’s actually heart disease. And by heart disease, I don’t mean emotionalism set off listening to John Mayer singles. I mean actual heart disease.”
“I get it. I’m not in pre-med to do coke,” says Charlie. “So why are you eating that chunk of cholesterol?”
“You can hold my hair back in the bathroom while I get rid of it, right?” I ask. “And while we’re in there, I’ll take the Go Red for Women heart check-up on my iPhone.”

I’m curious…
Or maybe i’m just being really naive for even asking …
but arent your monologue entries really just sly product placements?
you write a cutesy “rah rah girl power” story that always ends up innocently mentioning some random product you are secretly being paid to shill. or so it seems…
correct me if i’m wrong?
It just seems to me that it’s slightly deceiving…
i remember reading fashion and beauty blogs that were created by people who simply loved fashion . .
fine- i get that the whole blogging world is changing (hey… this aint the first discussion that’s been had)… and hey- you need to make a living…
but i honestly don’t know what’s real and what’s not with your blog anymore. maybe this entire blog is just a massive advertisment.. who knows?
anyhow… that is all i wanted to say.

haha, well maybe she really does like all this stuff and wants her readers to know where to get it. That heart bag is really cute, but I’m not sure that it’s that practical. Can’t even hold a phone and camera!
