It's really, really difficult to find Gwyneth Paltrow likable, and no one makes it more difficult than Gwyneth herself. I can't figure out if she is clueless, cunty or a hifalutin combination of both. On the one hand, she shares a lot of information on GOOP, supposedly in the hopes of making our lives better. On the other hand, the "tips" she gives are so unrelatable to real life that it's difficult not to be offended. Take, for instance, the latest installment of her newsletter, the aforementioned GOOP: [With a very limited independent film-scale budget, Annette
Joseph transformed an ideal (yet very raw) two bedroom downtown Nashville loft
into a cozy, light filled space that was just perfect for my family's stay
there. Housed in a building called "The Icon" in the up-and-coming
"Gulch" area, Annette and her team worked tirelessly and achieved the
unachievable in 10 days! Below, Annette chronicles how it was done. She is one
impressive lady.]
She's one impressive lady, working with one impressive budget. Keep in mind that an "independent film-scale budget" is still, most likely, in the millions. The fact that any part of it is earmarked for Paltrow's living quarters is annoying. The fact that god knows how many people had to work 'round the clock to satisfy Gwyn? Even more annoying. Very raw? How about very fuck you. I could go on and on. You owe it to yourself to read this week's GOOP and then find your way to the nearest punching bag. Transmute that frustration into cardio, that's what I recommend. I guess Paltrow has given us a gift after all...
