thank you so much for writing this so I don’t have to read anything else about it! and also the eyebrows callout — I literally startled when I saw them in that second picture. I thought even the youngs learned from that ‘90s mistake?

There is something so American about monetizing one’s most humiliating moment, and - as you perfectly point out - with good hair to boot. I am embarrassed how excited I am to read this book. 🤓📚😭

But still, bad (hacked away never to reemerge) eyebrows. Sadly, that’s the most permanent damage she will never recover from

Damn. She really did a number on her eyebrows. From the passages I've seen, you couldn't pay me to read that book (I don't need to know anymore about RFK Jr. or the women who find him attractive 🥴), but I love that she isn't shrinking into obscurity.

No desire to read this book - but if Clara reads it, I will be reading her thoughts on it!

The most exhausting part of her writing wasn’t the 294757747 metaphors or the 736463 redundancies but the fact that she’s just so pleased with herself. She’s not a good writer but she knows what sells so she’s reallllllly milking it.

This is really wonderful writing and made me laugh - so thanks!! I'd rather listen to Bobby Brainworm lie about vaccines than read another word of her Look-a-me Tortured Prose.

dying to read a post about Chiara please, unfortunately no amount of highbrow reading will erase the images of her wedding to Fede from my brain so I shall be SAT for this (also loved the CC reference)

There are so many things she’s going to regret in ten years, not the least of which is this brow design decision.

Apparently I've been living under a rock because I had no idea this even happened, but I'll now be keeping an eye out for those eyebrows at the over priced candle store I work at near Malibu lol

Idk, I do think there’s something hilariously post-internet about the theme “if you’re going through some shit, you can always just become tumblr Joan Didion.”

I was not expecting a Vampire Diaries reference in this piece but I'm here for it!
