It's not satire. Read some of her bio:

"33-year-old Weiss (Sun in Aries, Libra rising, moon in Sagittarius) holds an M.A., and in addition to her writing duties, works as an astrologer and adjunct professor of writing and gender studies at Marymount Manhattan College. In addition to astrology, Weiss has written five self-help books, including Coping With the Beauty Myth: A Guide for Real Girls, and a novel, Starrgazer, which she describes below, and Fate of Your Date, an illustrated advice guide to getting the edge in the dating universe via astrology, face reading and other techniques, which will be published by Chronicle Books in 2006."

the only good thing I see is that she's not butt ugly.

Well, we know what she has for brains!

She really needs to STOP writing these “self help” books till she gets the HELP she is screaming for as shown in the nonsense she writes.

I'd probably hit it, if I wasn't already attached. But it would require duct tape -- I can't imagine listening...

I don’t think silicon is very green.

She is either butt stupid, MS degree not withstanding (I have met plenty complete idiots with advanced degrees) or a very shrewd hustler cashing in on the latest fad among the mush minds.

I figure the latter is most likely the case.

By the way, human civilization managed to procreate for tens of thousands of years before there was sparkling wine, drive in theaters, or feminine hygiene products. It just wasn't nearly as enjoyable for both parties back then. Not much in the way of romance back in the days when people tended to bathe once a year, if that. It was mostly pure biological impulse and the 'stronger sex' generally had the say.

Oh, it’s satire, all right.

The author just doesn’t realize it.
