The very thought that people like her become celebrities in this country is astounding and sad. What does this say about America? Wow, she DOES look good. But she still makes my skin crawl.

Setting aside the absurdity of this woman's life, once again we women are bombarded with an unrealistic image of how we should look. Even magazines such as O and More are filled with ads about how we can retain our youth if we use a particular antiaging product religiously. If the products don't work, there is always plastic surgery. Of course, there is always a diet article about how we can whittle ourselves down to size. We Wise Women know that focusing on health,spirituality, gratitude, and relationships will make our lives richer. The constant bombardment of unrealistic images by the media creates distractions that can cause our resolve to waiver. Viewing all of this through the lens of humor as Anne does is a good strategy.
