It seems you and I have met ...

Sorry you made poor life decisions.


Actually no, but I don't feel compelled to chronicle my life and my kids in a magazine. Maybe if I had done something to save humanity I'd feel like I had a good story to tell but no one wants to read about my privileged life (which, yes, did include going to Sidwell).

Ugh I'm bored by this over stylized portrayal of a family.. Even the dog looks too perfect.

Which park do you go to? This is not where I hang out...

I consider it quite telling and find it disturbing that this is OK with so many people. Just more confirmation....


They met in Moscow in the early 90s. I hardly see the problem with it.

Now the photoshopping and cutesty pajamas? Eeech.

The photos seemed overly styled to me.


Major photo-shopping going on in all the photos.


+1.

Flawless skin. Featureless feet. Even mannequins have more lines that they have.

"ABC News contributor Claire Shipman is gently trying to coax her eight-year-old daughter, Della Claire Carney, to appear in a Washingtonian MOM photo shoot, in which Della might have to wear pink and comb her tangled mane.

Della is not easily swayed. She hates pink. Nor does she like to brush her hair."


Team Della!
