    I read it and cringed a little. Her dress is very pretty and I'm sure she's very lovely but the whole thing read like an advertisement for Dunnes and Newbridge Silver. It's a bit of publicity for her no doubt but I just find it next to impossible to relate to these types of women or go "oh that reminds me I must buy a Genevieve Macintosh cushion"!

    First I Didnt read this article, but I can just imagine the crap within.

    Ooh, fun game. I didn't read War & Peace, but I can just imagine it's about aliens vs zombies. Or dogs vs cats. Or maybe it's about War & Peas but Tolstoy was dyslexic? Poor soldiers, stuck in battle with nothing to eat but tins of peas :(

    Tbf, someone said it concerns Amy Huberman. I don't think its going to be about nuclear physics or existentialism.

    apparently she has very strong views on nihilism.

    I don't like the way she claims exponential growth with only 2 data points.

    How I celebrate

    How I decorate

    I think you're just looking for something to be annoyed at.

    Get your point but hardly in the same context.

    No, but the point is you might consider actually reading the article before judging it.

    Turns out it's Amy Huberman describing how she celebrates Christmas. So yeah, Amy Huberman kinda is an expert in how Amy Huberman celebrates Christmas. Who do you suggest write an article like that? Are there actual experts on how to celebrate Christmas? Should they enlist Mrs Claus as a contributor?

    It's a fluff piece, in a lifestyle magazine. What a shocker! The most offensive thing about it is that she namedrops multiple designers/brands/shops so it's little more than a collection of plugs.

    (I don't particularly like that kind of nonsense content, would cheerfully ban Lifestyle supplements, cancel Xposé and banish Barry Egan to Siberia, btw.)

    I would be so bold as to suggest that she is the world leading authority on the subject
