The Devil Wears Prada

After reading reviews of The Devil Wears Prada in The Writing Life and Mom Writes blogs, I decided to give this movie a whirl. It’s definitely a chick flick — but one that’s worth going to see.

This was my first time going to the movie theater since starting my new diet. I’m basically eating the same way a diabetic needs to eat — avoiding sugary/ high carb foods. So there was nothing we could eat from the concession — is this how all diabetics feel? Why don’t theaters offer anything healthy? My mom and I split a chocolate Atkins protein bar and nibbled on a few almonds, along with our Diet Cokes.

Meryl Streep is stunning in this movie, absolutely to-die-for. What an actress! With her porcelain skin, it’s hard to believe she’s 57. Although much of the movie involved skinny girls in spiked heels running in front of taxis while chatting on cell phones, I enjoyed being whisked away to the fashion glitz of NYC and Paris. I was actually kind of glad not to be munching on junk while watching Anne Hathaway shrink from her “unfashionable” size 6 to “tres chic” size 4. Whew!
