The Goopster Needs To Find The Real World - $450K For Essentials

You know what is really sad about Gwyneth Paltrow's continued decline into Marie Antoinette land? A few things really. She is probably turning her kids into spoiled brats with eating disorders. It also shows that she does not listen to anyone in the world over the past few years who have told her to dial things back a bit so that she can be more liked by people not in the 1%. She has ignored them all and if anything, has gone even more to the edge and showed that she only really likes you or wants to know you if you are rich. Secretly I think she looks down on Jay-Z and Beyonce because they did not grow up rich. Same with Chris martin. They are acceptable though because, well, they are famous and no one wants to hang out with her anyway. One time the Goopster hung out with Cameron Diaz in the last year. Show me any other photo where Gwyneth was out with anyone other than Jay-Z and Beyonce. You can't because no one likes her. In her latest newsletter she advises people that they have to spend $450K on their spring clothes. These are your essentials. These are not even luxuries. If you don't have these, you are dead to her. Oh good. I was wondering what I would need to do to be dead to her.

      The only inspiration a woman, or young girls/impressionable young women,could get from those pics, is as a goal for their Pro-Ana scrapbook. Those clothes are hideous, and don't even don't make sense in relation to each other, much less when she "shares" when she thinks they should be worn.A $1,500 ball gowny skirt to hang casually w/ your friends at home? Or, tiny gold lame diaper shorts for casual luncheons? JFC, she needs not one seat, but a whole damn row. All she is, is a walking headcase with eating disorders who shares that delusion with the peons. Cant wait for the Apple Martin tell all!

    Jamie2, I think you hit the nail on the head. She is basically an infomercial for really rich people, which makes her snobbery all the more delusional. I can't believe I am about to write this, but Martha Stewart aimed for the masses because she worked out that you will get rich off the 99%. She made herself available to the 1% via catering & weddings.

    @feraltart: Glad you pointed out Martha Stewart--yes, she can be a bit full of herself sometimes, but she didn't start out with a silver spoon in her mouth, and she's made a point of providing reasonably-priced home goods of decent quality (no, they're not high-end, but they work well enough overall; wish I had one of those robin's-egg-blue enameled dutch ovens...*sigh*). I looked at the clothes here to see if one could do the usual "get inspiration from the higher-end lines and translate that to one's own budget" deal, but I'm not convinced you can find a lot of those items for less, and even if you can, quality may be an issue, w/the cut-rate items looking awfully cheap & shoddy in comparison to the expensive ones.

    She's a decent actress, and I'm sure she can be a nice person, or at least isn't intentionally behaving badly, but She Just Doesn't Get It, does she? *shakes head*

    Yes, she's snobby and pretentious, but there are worse sins out there. Honestly, in a culture that worships trash like the Kardashians, goop looks like freakin' Princess Grace. I read her newsletter and wad really unimpressed with most of her fashion picks for spring, but how is what she is pushing in her newsletter any different than what Anna Wintour puts in Vogue? A lot of it is overly expensive or overly ridiculous for most people to wear to work everyday.

    I will say that I do like how she supports quality clothing over mass produced crap. If that $90 t-shirt lasts season after season and looks great, it's a better investment than a $10 t-shirt that fades after one season and needs to be replaced every year.

    Enty is totally using the Goopster for clicks because he knows she gets our knickers in a twist and the comments will explode. But, I will play along anyway.

    I just looked at those outfits and it’s blatantly obvious that she’s catering to the strivers and wannabe’s. Folks that can legitimately afford Alexander McQueen and Stella aren’t getting lifestyle advice from Goop and they sure as hell aren’t buying this stuff off the rack or on-line. All of you fashionistas know that by the time trends get filtered down to us they are already over. Anyone who is anyone already bought this fugly crap last year and has moved on to the next.

    The posers who can’t reeaally afford this stuff are her base. Well, until Daddy gets pushed into early retirement or hubby gets downsized or you get laid off and your credit cards get maxed out. Would any of those situations be a life changer for you? If so, then YOU CAN’T AFFORD CHLOE.

    Don’t be fooled, the posers love all of the Goop hate. Just makes them feel special.

Like/dislike whoever you want, but I find it so strange that this woman seems to conjure up more hate then idiots like the vile Kardashians, Teen Moms who don't give a shit about their kids/sobriety and all the other talentless reality folks. Those are the turkeys that give me Hulk-like rage.

    GP may be out of touch, but who cares?? She's well-spoken and speaks both Spanish and French fluently. Not exactly vapid territory, in my opinion. And I have seen a lot of friends get nutty once they had kids. No chemicals in the house, all organic non-processed foods etc. I really think she's trying her best to be a good Mom, and I like that

    I just thought of someone: Posh Spice. She’s a balls-out lemon face praying mantis with food issues, a crazy expensive clothing line that she DESIGNS (not simply endorses/links to) and she gets nowhere near the amount of hate that Goopy does. Posh & Becks have just as much if not more $$ than Goop & Martin and they definitely have the same sized egos. Posh probably has 2 sticks up her butt and she could give rat’s ass if anyone likes her or if she relates. She’s unapologetic (why should she be? They earned every penny) and she’s 100% honest about it. Bitch hasn’t cracked a smile in public in months. She’s just trotting around in stilettos, getting colonics, eating 3-4 frozen grapes a day and making money. But Posh doesn’t push my buttons at all. Maybe people respond to/respect her authenticity?

    I wonder if those 2 couples are friends? Do they hang out? I’m too lazy to Google. I was going to say that Goop could learn something about branding from Posh but I just remembered that Goop needs us to see her movies. She could also be doing some climbing of her own. Back when she and Madonna were BFF’s taking yoga, drinking afternoon tea with their British husbands and hoping some of that “stature” would rub off on them, it was ridick.

    She claims that she isn’t, but Goopy is trying too hard to please everyone and she’s shooting herself in the foot. No need to apologize. Be yourself, Gwennie!

    After we rumble, can we relax with some organic nitrate-free wine? That would be delish! I'll bring over my Big Joe glass!

    I just did my spring/summer budget (they're pretty much the same season here in texas!)And its at $1200 with a lot of nice stuff that I will probably wait until it goes on sale and get for about $900. If have a couch day tomorrow I might do a spring preview for the 99% if do I'll post a pinerest link on this thread. Fuck GOOP that shit is way too expensive I thought the cutest thing on her site was the jcrew necklace!

    When I worked retail at Nordstrom ill let you in on a secret, for those who don't already know, nords always does their markdowns on Mondays! I would always try everything on, then wait for it to go on sale, if they don't have the item in your size they can do a search of the company inventory and order it and ship it to you for free, so go see what fits you then wait for it to go on sale, everything does eventually at some point :)

    WTF is with that shorts outfit??? Cropped tops do NOT belong on anyone over 30, no matter how damn skinny you are.

    I'm no Gwyneth fan but everyone knows that the point of photo spreads is inspiration, not imitation. It's not about buying those pieces; it's about using the pieces as a springboard for your own look (and at your own priceline).

    If you're going to bitch about fashion spreads and their real-world costs, then it better be a regular feature and not just a one-off to shoot arrows at a very easy target.

    I am sitting here luxuriating in my $15 shirt from Urban Planet and enjoying all of these lovely comments.

    I love how Anna Nonymous put it - from now I I will mentally call her the Calorically Depleted Goop.

    Thanks for the tips about Nordstroms, PrimaDiva!

    I don't really like the goopster, but what is worse than her pretentiousness is other peoples envy....which really comes out when she gets posted on this site. Green doesn't look good on some of you.......Yeah, you aren't rich... but that is no ones fault but your own (and my own-cause Im not either-but not going to hate on those that are-would do better to emulate them)

    I don't think it is envy. She has a lifestyle website site that only fits a certain life (a rich one), despite the fact that the majority of fans who read it are "poors" like you and me. She is pretentious as all get out, and lacks any self awareness. I find it sad.

    In Goop's defense (Holy crap, NEVER in my wildest dreams did I think I would EVER write those words!) she did once say, "I am who I am. I can't pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year."
    You know, kind of like your or I can't pretend to know what it's like to be able to fly, or to be a unicorn. *eye roll*

    @ VIP - Goop wore that dress to the Oscars the year the The Royal Tenenbaums was nominated and I'll never forget because one snarky commentator said her breasts looked like two chicken cutlets. ZING!

    Goopster fans unite!

    She is who she is and much like Anne (and for that matter Taylor), in a world that celebrates trash like the Kardashians Chris Brown...where fashion magazines tell you you can never be pretty enough or thin enough and where society tells you that you an have it all (and if you don't there is something wrong with you), I'm not sure why these women are the target of society's hatred.

    What is Gwenyth really, other than everything society tells women every day they SHOULD be? She's rich, she's thin, she's super mom, she's an entrepreneur (of sorts), she's a career woman...and she gets vilified for it because she hasn't been "likeable" enough (and Anne wants success to much) while meeting what society demands of women? You see it all of the time, we demand women be 100 different things but them tear them down when they try to conform to those expectations.

    Gwenyth (and Anne) aside it saddens me how we tear women (who really, have done nothing to harm anyone...ahem, Lindsey) down especially when we just don't ever do the same to men.

    She's just putting together some outfits as inspiration. Net-A-Porter is high end so, yeah it costs a lot. The editorials in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar are well out of my price range too but I still like looking at them. It's just a bit of fun. No one is saying you HAVE to spend all that money.

    ReplyDelete
  85. OneGirlRevolution10:39 PM

    And to agree with Jessie, I'm not sure what the big difference between what she has on her site and a vogue, bazaar, wwd, etc. spread on "What to Wear Now" or "Springs Must Haves" etc. are. Many people (including, I would guess, at least a few here) read those magazines yet can't afford the high end designer wear they show.

    I would also suspect that she actually DOES get people who say things like, "I love your style...I wish you had a tutorial on your style I could look at." (obvs not anyone Here though).

    I don't hate her, nor do I begrudge her being born rich. She is a product of her upbringing, at least she isn't advocating furs or solid gold or diamond encrusted baby accessories. To me she doesn't come across haughty or spoilt, a little naive maybe but that's hardly a character fault. I don't think she deserves the vitriol.

  88. FlirtyChick748:12 AM

    I've said it before but I don't hate her. I didn't like what I saw on the website but I don't hate her. I sometimes get the sense from the comments made that she's obligated to the public. She's not. She doesn't owe me anything any more than I owe her anything. She's created a website she enjoys and that people find useful.

    I also get the sense that people are jealous and turning a critical eye onto themselves. The world is full of intelligent, hardworking, beautiful women who aren't millionaires or six-figurenaires. And that's okay. You make the decisions that are best for you at the moment and hopefully lead to a happy, fulfilling life.

    Finally, I think that Gwyneth has raised so much ire because she appears (for the most part) not to be moved by public opinion. That bothers people because you can't shame her into "balancing the scales". There's no satisfaction there . You can't bully her into destructive behavior or donating her wealth to charity or any number of activities that satisfy us. Gwyneth leads the life she wants to lead and I'm sure she is surrounded by people who love her.

    One final note until the next Goop Sucks posts. . .

    I have a good friend who is a Mom blogger. She opened my eyes to the 10,000 other Mom blogger sites out there, and there are countless ones that show us mere mortals how to eat well on a budget, dress well on a budget, where the latest sales are etc. Why does GP have to pretend to be on a budget? She has money, there are people out there who have money (and not just the 1%) and her blog is actually beautifully laid out.

    I think the reason I get so uh, involved in this topic is because I LOATHE the reality star/rewarding bad behavior culture so prevalent in the U.S. Please, for the love of God - channel this hate for GP and get some of this horeshit off the air. I don't want my kids growing up thinking the more they fuck up the more popular they will be.

    (Pre-coffee rant. It really is nothing directed at Goop haters. I just want everyone to hate reality tv as much as I do so that maybe it will go away)

    I think Goop is relinquishing her power by constantly seeking our approval. Who cares what we think? Yesterday was the first time that I’ve clicked on her site in over a year and no one forced my hand, I wanted to see what was going on. It’s obvious that she’s not everyone’s cup of tea, maybe she should just “do her thang” and stop looking back at us for the thumbs up?

    On second thought, if she did that she’d have to stop making movies or at least stop doing press for them. Maybe it’s the movie biz’s bogus accessibility requirement that’s tripping her up? If she stopped acting and went off into oblivion focusing on Goop I bet no one would bat an eye. Pretty soon most of us would stop drinking the hater-ade.

    Yes, I agree that the K’s and the Teen Moms need to go away immediately. Unfortunately, their base is young impressionable girls who watch those vapid re-runs over & over and drive up the ratings. Ugh.

    Ha ha, Agent!! I think it would be Xander's hottest item!

    Just as a reminder, I think today is the final day for 1/2 the t-shirt proceeds to go toward I Do the Robot's sister Carol (unless it was extended and I didn't see the message). I really did need t-shirts for running/gym, so I just bought my 3rd today. Please please please if you are considering buying a t-shirt, pull the trigger today.
    I just got the I heart Enty t-shirt in royal blue. I think it's going to be really cute in that color combo :)

    I think she's well aware that people don't like her.When she puts stupid crap like this on her blog, she can tell herself that people are jealous of her cause she's rich, instead of thinking maybe she's acting like a cunt.

    I'm not SUPER-Team Goopster, but I get GOOP. Some of the recipes and entertaining ideas are pretty cool. I thought some of the spring clothes were kind of cute, too. But what do I know? I live in Margaritaville tees and jeans. ;-)

    I also think that her clothing/travel/decorating/what-have-you just shows me what the hip stuff looks like, so I can get whatever I can afford that's stylish like that at Kohl's or Goodwill or wherever.

    Not a lot of hate for her here. I truly think she means well. *shrug*
