Weekend Quote of the Day

| | Comments (0)
"I know you don't believe me, just like you don't believe Mom when she tells you that you are beautiful. But I'll say it anyway: One day you will lead a very fancy life. Yes! A girl like you whose parents work multiple jobs and barely make ends meet can grow up to live in a beautiful corner apartment in Manhattan overlooking the water, have weekend houses in the Hamptons and Miami, attend fashion shows in Europe and be photographed for magazines."

--Former Seventeen Magazine editor Atoosa Rubenstein, writing in a new book of letters from women to their younger selves, but demonstrating a degree of non-relevancy to most women I know--of all ages--that just seems amazingly clueless.  I mean, come on. At least aspire to fame on YouTube or something.
