Critics hate it. I love it.
GOOP.
Gwyneth Paltrow uses her taste, simplicity and talent to create an entertaining (at least I am), info packed site.
"The Times noted, "many critics find the enterprise fatuous and a bit puzzling." Typical is a query from Toronto's The Globe and Mail: "Why is it called Goop?" its writer asked. "Perhaps 'Any Old Load of Rubbish' and 'Learn From Me, Ungrateful Peasant' were both taken." " (source, People.com)
Once again, I disagree with the media. I believe it's genuis and women will respond very well to it. Personally, I enjoy her Go section. Women with young children will particularly enjoy her tips on fashion and getting out of a boring clothing rut. I do enjoy however, how she mentions as a young mom she is often tempted to throw on her old high school shirt. Really, Gwyn? You have designers from all over the world sending you clothing on a daily basis and you expect us to believe that you wear your t-shirts from high school? Sorry. Don't buy it. Feel no stronger connection to you in that respect. I don't even have t-shirts from high school and I shop most often at Old Navy or Marshall's. We know your PR people wrote that line.
Still the essence and idea of the site are inspiring to me - Become the best woman you can be, and enjoy life to the fullest.
GOOP.
Great job, Gwyn. Great job.

I have never even heard of it and I tried to get on the site, but it keeps taking FOREVER to load anything--maybe everyone else is trying to check it out too. I'll let you know what I think later!
