Just shoot me

So I was in the checkout line yesterday and I just couldn't resist.

56356 It's research, right? Blog fodder. Grist for my mill. Possibly even, if not expensable, then maybe tax deductible.

Well, that's my excuse and I am sticking to it.

You know, many of us have the fantasy that, if only we were rich enough to afford personal trainers, lifestyle coaches, full-time chefs, home gyms, indoor pools, spa vacations, liposuction and tummy tucks, we'd have perfect bodies.

Hah.

Let me tell you, even the celebs have cellulite. And flab. And guts. And saggy skin.

Which is strangely reassuring.

You know, if Oprah, who has a gabillion bucks, can't control her weight and eating, then who are we little ordinary people to believe that, all we have to do is, eat less and exercise more, we can look like Jessica Alba?

Just sayin'.

Broadsides by Antonia Zerbisias


  • Antonia Zerbisias has been a Star columnist since 1989 but has been telling people what she thinks ever since she could open her mouth. Her career ambition as an opinionator dates back to Grade 9 when a cartoon commentary on a teacher resulted in her suspension from high school. The principal sent her home with a note calling her "rude, obstreperous and bold." Her parents were neither amused, nor surprised. Once she was punished for being that way. Now she makes it pay. And, because she can take it as well as dish it out, she wants to hear what you have to say. Fire away!
