11/12/2001 Entry: "Um..."

On the cover of the newest Cosmopolitan, to either side of the scantily-clad model bimbo:

Article teaser on the top of the left-hand column:
HOW TO RAPE-PROOF YOUR LIFE

Article teaser in the middle of the right-hand column:
SEXIFY YOURSELF!

...

Any commentary I could make here would just be extraneous...

This is a LOW, even for a magazine like Cosmopolitan....
I don't quite know what to say myself, Moon. Well, I can think of 2 things:
I highly doubt "sexify" is even a word. Oh, but if Cosmo says it, then it's true, so even though they just made it up, it still exists in reality. I'm sorry; I forgot.
I'd rather not say anything about trying to "rape-proof" one's life, except that there is no 100% guarantee. But you didn't need me to say that to know.
Again, this is low, even for a magazine like them.

I've noticed before that on the front of women's magazines there's always something about the newest diet fad-- and then, inevitably, recipes somewhere else on the same cover. I didn't think they could get any more counterproductive, but I guess I was wrong...

that's terrible. my favorite is the one where they say bohemian is in and then you know everything they show costs at least $300.
