HAAAAAAAAY GIRLS! Guess WHAT! So, like, Starbucks has totally come up with, like, a coffee drink you can TOTALLY DRINK WITHOUT GUILT BECAUSE MODELS DO! ZOMG, thank god I just got this press release from Starbucks, because--and I am not joking--I was just about to have a cup of coffee and I couldn't justify the indulgence! The sheer decadence of consuming a warm cup of bean-caffeine would surely have overtaken my delicate ladymind, and I would have spent hours crying in the corner, clutching my yarf-bag, had I not received this press release. Because I am a lady and I need a good reason to eat something delicious or tasty, lest I get SUPER-FAT.
I love it when PR people send me crap and have clearly read absolutely nothing on this blog, because anyone who thinks I'm going to shill for a diet product (seriously, you don't even have to click back a page to read this post) is ... well, probably a PR person:
I'm writing to you today on behalf of Starbucks. They've recently introduced a brand new flavor to their lineup - Vanilla Frappuccino Light. This rich beverage contains 50% fewer calories and 60% less sugar than their classic Vanilla flavor, making it that much easier to justify the indulgence!She even sent along a video! LATTES AND COFFEE, LADIES! I'm going to go look wistfully out my window and start typing a sentence that begins, "I couldn't help but wonder ... why women feel bad about their bodies."
To celebrate this release, Starbucks set up a lounge in the tents at NY Fashion Week. Each day hundreds of fashionistas, bloggers, editors, celebs and models alike were found relaxing in the Starbucks Lounge.

If I wanted a justification for drinking coffee, the fact that Captain Janeway guzzles it would be enough.

ask yourself this question, did starbucks get their message out through your blog or not?
and, did i pee in a horse once, or not?
Posted 03/07/2010 at 01:35:50 PMI don't think it was a bad idea to release a lighter version of their frappucinos. Those puppies range in the 400 - 600 calorie range for a MEDIUM size. It's ridiculous for a drink to pack so many calories while delivering nothing of any nutritional value. I don't see anything to scoff at about a healthier, more reasonable option.
