Dear Friend,
It seems life is more hectic than ever. (True.) When you finally manage to wind down, the time is often fleeting. (Yes.) A quick manicure on your way home from work. (Well, no, if I'm going to spend money, it's not on a manicure. It would be chocolate or Cold Stone ice cream or an iTunes gift card or something.) A phone call to your best friend between errands. (My sister, yes!)
Well, you deserve more time to yourself than these fleeting moments - and we want to treat you to the relaxation remedy you need...
(Yes, YES, I DO deserve more time to myself. I want a relaxation remedy!)
Now, what do you think this letter is trying to sell me?
People Magazine. Once a week for 6 weeks. The perfect therapy for your mind, heart and soul. (So you mean I can stop seeing my therapist now because reading People Magazine would be perfect therapy for me?) Each issue of PEOPLE provides a refreshing mix of celebrities and real-life heroes. Just 6 star-studded issues will make you feel like a new person. (A new person? I've always wanted to be a new person!) And since they're FREE, you can enjoy the luxury without the guilt! (I have too much guilt in my life. I definitely want luxury without guilt.)So, did this letter convince you to subscribe to People Magazine? I know I'm sending in the postage-paid envelope right away, just so I can "have an afternoon of pure bliss, curl up in [my] favorite armchair and catch up with friends old and new - like Reese Witherspoon or Drew Barrymore."

That's hilarious! You would think they were selling you a massage or something. But, no. People magazine. I don't know. I have read it, and I think they may live up to all of their words. At my hairdresser, I always wish they would give me people magazine as I sit in the dryer (that or the cosmo with all the sex suggestions) (and they usually do). HMMMM. . .
It is totally true. I once had a wart that I cured by rubbing it nightly with Mariah Carey. And then there were the shin splints that Tim McGraw healed.
Hahahahahahahaha!!!! That is HILARIOUS!! When I am feeling overwhelmed and need a pick me up I always turn to Brittany and Jamie Lynn Spears--what a pick-me-up!!
Wow. So THAT'S what I've been missing all my life! No wonder I'm so stressed out all the time...all I needed to do was just open People magazine and it would be all cured! Sign me up!
if by "new person" they mean leaving behind your once "secure in my womanhood" self, and turning to boooze, drugs, and bulimia so you can be just like your favorite celebrity...because we all know that we need to follow their awesome examples of how best to live life, vote, and make important purchases (has anybody seen my Fendi?) then yes, I"m sure they can deliver on that promise.
haa haaa! Oh, yes, the People aromatherapy, massage therapy, reflexology, holistic healing method. Of course!
Blessings!
i can't believe my doctor didn't prescribe this on my last visit!
As the self-proclaimed gossip whore, I can tell you that I wouldn't need anything to convince me to subscribe. I will be going to the store and doing my Friday run of cupcakes and trashy magazines.
Wow, that's great. Really, there's nothing like seeing people who "have it all" and are so "happy" and all done up, air-brushed, with their plastic surgery to make us feel great about ourselves!
That was great thanks for sharing your blog with me. I look forward to reading lots of wonderful posts.
Wow, what great advertising... I can't believe that People paid someone to write that and then paid to have it mailed out. However, it certainly offered a good laugh and as we all know, "laughter is the best medicine." ;)
Ha ha ha, Tiburon made me laugh. Ah, People. I get my dose at the doctor's office or the car-fixer-place.
"The perfect therapy for you mind, heart and soul.".....Who knew...I thought that's what blogging was for... who needs People!
Hey.. I know that book.. anyway, I love all your posts! They are so random and so fun to read!! I love this PEOPLE mag one! ha ha! I was laughing but thinking.. I do like to read PEOPLE magazine. Yes, I am a tabloid junkie. There, I said it.
I especially feel good when they show all the "stars with cellulite" and ppolice wrap sheets. The I rememebr we are all God's children.....
But seriously, People has gotten me through some long drives when I thought I would die in the car.... so THANKS, People!
haha, that's a funny dreamy letter.
I love celebrity mag's. I love the pictures. I don't have a subscription to any. I think I'm going to subscribe to a Home magazine and fitness one. But right now being in school, if I read anything but school related (sometimes even blogs) I feel guilty because I know I should be studying!
