NOT TOO SHABBY — by Steve Nadis
Yesterday in the paper, I saw the picture of a woman I knew (vaguely) in grade school and high school on the cover of her new book. Not to be crass but as a middle-aged woman (whom I hadn’t seen in more than 35 years) she didn’t look too bad. Of course her book is all about not looking old, so I guess that’s the whole point–”fast, effortless ways to look 10 years younger, ten pounds lighter, and feel 10 times better.” She’s been on Oprah and done the whole bit and is arguably the most high-profile person to come out of our high school in decades which, when you think of it, is a bit sad (not that I have anything against her nor do I begrudge her her 15 seconds and then some). If I had time, I’d go to the shopping mall next week for her book signing, but instead I’ll probably skip it and, instead, think of ways of looking 10 years older, 10 pounds heavier, and feeling 10 times worse.
