So, there I was, at the grocery store, strolling past the magazine rack looking to see if they still had a copy of Debbie Bliss (they didn't), when I saw it, positioned casually between Minnesota Bride and Black Hair Sophisticate: Fifty Shades: American Women Who Love the Book and Live the Life.

Content-wise, it looks like a cross between In Touch,

Judgey can be fun when you really let yourself get into it!

Skipping past the horror that is now burned into your retina and mine, Minnesota Bride? You live in Minnesota too?

[latetothpartyhp]

I do! Yes. I'm in Saint Paul. Where are you at?

The unfortunate incident itself happened in the Phalen Avenue Cub, which of course has me curious about demographics. Did it also make it into, say, the Uptown Lund's?

I'm south of the cities in the boondocks of Prior Lake. (Technically Spring Lake Township) I don't know about Lunds but it hasn't made it to our local grocery store. (Phew!!! )

EXACTLY!

Dear Lord! How much money do James and her team or whatever think they need? It seems rather desperate for bucks, putting out this kind of trash while suing poor independent lingerie saleswomen. It also seems like a rather pathetic attempt to stay relevant with the hype FINALLY dying down.

To be fair, I don't think James is making any money off the magazine; I think it was put together by some publisher wanting to make some money off the craze.

As far as the hype - according to the magazine there's a fourth book coming out -- which I am guessing is her attempt to establish that this-is-not-Twi-fic-really-so-please-don't-sue-me-Stephanie-Meyers.
