In my new series How Can Anyone Read This Trash? I continue with highlights of this month’s issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, the gift subscription that keeps on giving.
.
.
Lip Flip?
.
.
I’ll flip an omelette, and I might flip you the bird… but I won’t be flipping my upper lip. Nope. Not happening.
.
.
Next up is a section on eye makeup trends we are encouraged to try. And while the Cleopatra flower is odd, it has nothing on this one…
.
.
Seriously?
It’s no wonder this country is going to Hell in a handbasket.
.
.
Proof positive this generation is a bit too in love with themselves.
.
.
And while I know Cosmo’s founder was quite forward thinking for her day when it came to sex and the single girl…
.
.
The modern Cosmopolitan takes it to a whole new level… which makes me wonder if even Helen would approve.
.
.
River's world..... 
Blech.

They made a movie about her with Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood. It had a car chase at the end. Larry Storch was a motorcycle cop…

Yes. And a friend gifted me a year long subscription. Am I lucky or what?

Maybe you could find a way to cancel the subscription? Tell your friend a nice bottle booze would be much more appreciated in the future.

Did you not know cringing now counts as an isolation exercise ! It burns almost as many calories as 16 ounce curls.

I’m old. The only things I think about riding on a motorcycle in the nude is that it’s probably going to be cold, “bugs”, and if you fall off, it’s all over.

We have two motorcycles and I’m looking at youth in the rear view mirror. Age has a way of shifting priorities.

Lip flip and flowers on my eyelids? NO THANKS!
I do not think Helen would approve.

I can’t even the flowers. How in the world would you blink… or see for that matter. So stupid.

No Helen would not approve, all of the items in Cosmo are stupid ideas that are targeted towards millennial girls/women who grew up in the age of social media. For us who are a bit, ahem, sophisticated, and grew up void of social media, selfies, weird makeup trends scoff at the ideas in Cosmo. I’m Gen-X damn it, I don’t wear flowers in my lashes! lol

I’m at the very tail end of the boomers… and while I embraced stupid trends when I was young (grunge anyone?) I never glued plants on my face. I smoked a few, but that’s another blog entirely.

Well you and me both, smoked a few “herbs” in our day. But I’d never try any of the ideas in Cosmo. I too was gifted a subscription, and when I’ve had a couple of Cayman Jack Margaritas, I read through it for the laughs….

Speaking of Gen-X, we are the generation that had pet rocks and slinkies.
I don’t think I have ever glanced thru any Cosmo pages. I do remember the hysteria over Burt Reynolds being in it.

I had a pet rock and a slinkie as well , I barely made the boomer generation. As for Reynolds centerfold, I think I was 6. A little young for Cosmo.

Why spend all that dough on botox? You can get fuller more cushiony lips by having someone punch you in the mouth.
