I like a couple of her movies....the first Iron Man at least, and her 1 line in Hook. Maybe there are others. But she is just so bonkers I really just see crazy now when I read her name or see her face. And no. I would not. I think she was great in Sliding Doors. Other than that, I have no "goop" accessories for my house, or my vagina for that matter.

It smells like "geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed." Apparently she has a very special hoo hah. Or she has just found that she has a very special ability to dupe very stupid people into giving her money for very stupid and useless products. I think it might have been Stephen Colbert who said something similar about her company Goop. He did a small bit about his new fake company to do something similar.

Listerine was originally a douche. Listerine was floor cleaner. You're thinking Lysol. The damage that chemical caused was horrific. Yet with some sly rebranding it's still on the market making millions. Interesting reading - Listerine, for instance, was invented in the nineteenth century as powerful surgical antiseptic. It was later sold, in distilled form, as both a floor cleaner and a cure for gonorrhea. But it wasn't a runaway success until the 1920s, when it was pitched as a solution for "chronic halitosis" — a then obscure medical term for bad breath. Listerine's new ads featured forlorn young women and men, eager for marriage but turned off by their mate's rotten breath. "Can I be happy with him in spite of that?" one maiden asked herself. Until that time, bad breath was not conventionally considered such a catastrophe. But Listerine changed that. As the advertising scholar James B. Twitchell writes, "Listerine did not make mouthwash as much as it made halitosis." In just seven years, the company's revenues rose from $115,000 to more than $8 million. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listerine

I posted the Colbert piece on page one. I missed it. I see the Covetton House or whatever it was when I scroll back. Sometimes I go through threads quickly since I am still computer-less at home.

I'm just envisioning a movie in which a far more advanced civilization from across the galaxy sends their archaeologists to explore the dead planet Earth. On their local version of National Geographic Channel, they reveal the discovery of Paltrow's VJ candle and extrapolate from that what our civilization was like.
