    Happy Woman Magazine on The View! Whoopi Goldberg thought "Funeral Etiquette Dos and Don'ts" was hilarious.

    Interview with Psychic James Van Praagh

    Dear Readers: Well I'm back from my little break at the clin..spa. I was delighted to find that I would be interviewing James Van Praagh. To be honest as a hard-hitting journalist I was skeptical but after a display of his amazing skill he made a believer out of me! I'll have new celebrity interviews for you in the coming weeks so keep your eyeballs peeled!

    Libby

    Do you want me to dim the lights?

    James

    No, that's not necessary.

    Libby

    Maybe light a few candles? Some incense? Spooky music?

    James

    No, let's get right to it. I'm seeing something. Yes. I'm seeing a woman, definitely a woman. I sense she is a relative do you know who this is?

    A Sexy Supermodel Shares her Secrets!

    Supermodel supreme Vim has graciously supplied all the tools you need to take you from yuck to yum! Follow her simple tips and you too could be sinsational!

    Exercise:

    I don't have time to work out in the traditional sense. My schedule is absolutely exhausting. I work one day every three weeks and that can run 10-12 hours, so rest is very important to me.

    I keep hearing about the importance of exercise so I try to jiggle my foot while I'm watching television, doodle while I'm on the phone and shrug whenever I can.

    Beauty Routine:

    I usually get up in the morning and have a shower, especially when I'm working. I use soap because I find this keeps me clean and I dry off after with a towel. I like to brush my teeth with a toothbrush and I use deodorant faithfully.

    Leaving the House: The Jane Smith Story

    An original film brought to you by The Domestication Network: Television to Scare Ambitious Women into Spinsterhood

    In perhaps its most chilling production yet, The Domestication Network has unveiled a controversial new film starring Virginia McMaiden as the ambitious Jane Smith.

    Jane Smith is a 30-year-old woman still living under her parents' roof. Because they have provided for her since infancy, she has not left the house since graduating from high school, reassured by her parents that there is nothing of value beyond their white picket fence. However, after spending an evening at home with her high school friends (who are all college alumnae), she decides that she wants to step outside the confines of her childhood home and experience adulthood.

    Fast Food Weight Loss Challenge

    Inspired by that big mawed Subway hawker Jared, Celia Pratt our fashion editor thought it would be a hoot to dip a toe in the Health and Fitness pool and try a fast food experiment on her own. Our Health and Fitness editor Joan Dryden interviewed Celia Pratt in the very stylish HW office.

    Joan:
    Celia tell me about your little experiment

    .Celia: Well Joan- first off before we go any further do you mind removing that neck scarf? Your neck is so short it looks like your head is ready for harvesting.

    Anyway, we took three fa... uh, "generously proportioned" (Gawd a person can't even open their mouth these days!) and had them pick their fave fast food franchise. We did a weigh-in and then had them eat nothing but their fave for a whole month.

    I Hate My Thighs!

    By Jessica McBride As told to Sharon Grehan-Howes I guess I've always had a rather love /hate relationship with my thighs. Even as a girl I knew I needed them but I didn't know why there had to be so much of them.

    For the most part, through my teens and twenties I could ignore them except when I was sweaty and sat on vinyl .For years we lived if not happily, then companionably.

    Little did I know our cozy coexistence was coming to an end.

    December 18th 2007, I remember it like it was only a couple of years ago. It started out a day like any other. I went to work at Proctor, Proctor, Proctor, Proctor and Stagin where I was second in charge of collating. On this particular day I was watching the clock more than usual because at 4:15 our annual Christmas Party was to begin. I was excited to put on my new outfit because I was dying to impress my office crush the hunky Bernard Able.

    Advice from the Godmother Donna Corleone

    Dear Madrone,
    When is it ok to butt in? My neighbor down the block has a brother whose son is a no good lying two face ratfink SOB. And I mean no disrespect to the rest of two face ratfinks, who tell the truth and are legit. Whatever. This guy is a complete waste. And he married a sweetie pie, who has no clue that he is sleeping around with UPS delivery lady, this week! Last week it was the cheerleading coach, and the month before that, the sister of the wife he's making a fool of. Everyone knows, except the wife. And everyone says, butt out. No one will take pity. Should I?

    Around the World with La Petite Rouge: Don't Ask Don't Tell

    There are standards to uphold. Unlike those over-sharing media whores on reality television, the true lady knows to always hold back, to plant false information, and to remain calm. Screaming, jumping up and down, and losing bladder control are never attractive in the grand scheme of things. Even the most sophisticated and/or jaded femme fatale has a weak spot, an Achilles heel that reveals the inner geek. Some fond of hyperbole conclude everyone has a rich gooey center, and not in the cadaver on the table way. (Whenever someone says everyone likes something, there is a knee jerk response of “not me.” Truly, there is nothing universal about enjoying a picnic, but those armed with baskets adamantly affirm there is fun to be had while eating without back support under the blazing hot sun, risking botulism, rashes, and getting conked in the head by an errant Frisbee.)

    Horoscopes For All the Goddesses That We Are

    ATHENA

    ATHENA - the Smart One Who Never Got The Guys Until She Got Contacts (March 21-April 19) Athena loves classical music in theory; she just doesn’t like to listen to it nor attend concerts that feature it. This makes her feel like a philistine, especially since she started dating a classical pianist who she told she “loved Ashkenazy’s early work” after she heard someone say it in a Woody Allen film. As far as Athena is concerned, Ashkenazy could be a new dermabrasion technique; this is how little she knows about piano music. But this guy is really cute and has a great body for a musician and the combination is too much for Athena to resist and so she has lied herself into a classical corner. If he was a guy with a “baby grand” instead of a “concert grand” maybe she could have walked away. As long as he has an “upright” however, she is hooked..(...) FULL STORY>>

    Bride Dish with Mags and Dags

    DEAR MAGS/DAGS: As my wedding day approaches, the whole fete is topsy turvy! My maid of honor Gwen has Pityriasis  Rosea, which is going to cause nightmares for my photographer (and not the usual garden variety nuptial tribulations!) Also, I didn’t know a wedding would be so expensive! Look, I want my guests to have fun, but this is costing me a fortune!
