A little while ago, J and I bagged the shit out of GOOP. The lady and the website.
You can refresh your memories here, here and then again here and here (kind of). The upshot of all our GOOP themed posting was that she is really UGH and she should keep it to herself.

While I would love to
be the kind of person who can just identify UGHness and then move on, I am not
that person at all. I am more the type who likes to revisit something I find
UGH again and again so I can go UGH whenever I feel like it. It’s a nice stress
reliever for me. That’s why I found myself reading every last word of GOOP’s recent newsletter about her trip to the Venice Film Festival. I guess I just
wanted to get some UGH out of my system and I knew that GOOP was a sure
bet to let me do that. But you know what happened? I kind of found it enjoyable. I feel really
weird about it. The strange feelings
began with the image of her sitting around playing on her computer.
Normally, I would
think ‘UGH GOOP. You think you are so great with your long unkempt hair and
your casual jeans! Like a real woman of the people! As if GOOP!”
Instead I thought:
“Yellow hair is pretty.
So clean.”
Later there is a
picture of her getting ready.
Normally I would have thought: “Oh for pete’s sake
GOOP. You think showing how many people it takes to make you pretty is going to
make us feel better? Forget you!”
Instead I thought
“I want to go to there.”
“I want to go to there.”
It was very confusing
for me.
Of course, I went UGH
for the whole rest of the newsletter, especially the bits where she is talking
about Matt Damon, but just calling him Matt, and the bit where she says she
found a bunch of nice jewelery, but apparently needs a sugardaddy so she can buy it. In those bits
I was UGHing like I aint ever UGHed before.
But the fact that I
enjoyed even some of it is very concerning, and makes me feel like I am going soft.
