Poached Pubes; Or: Why to NEVER listen to Gwyneth Paltrow for health advice

Celebrities don't know squat about health.

Is it just me, or has there been an uptick lately in celebrities touting pseudo-medical advice that seems particularly unsound? From weird pubic care to body-binding workout regimes, the tabloids are starting to look more like quack medical encyclopedias than entertaining gossip rags.

One of the most recent examples of weird body care advice comes from Gwyneth Paltrow vis-à-vis the V-Steam. Gwyneth recently wrote a post on her lifestyle website, GOOP, about how she had her vagina steamed: “You sit on what is essentially a mini-throne, and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleanses your uterus, et al.” she insisted. “If you’re in LA, you have to do it.” Sorry, G., but I have my next trip to L.A. all planned out and it involves eating tacos, not cleansing them.

While I used to view celebrity advice and websites such as GOOP as just irritating (GOOP is hard for me to read because my eyes won’t stop rolling), I’m starting to wonder if this stuff is actually dangerous.

After Gwyn poached her pants area, doctors went berserk online, citing all sorts of reasons why that is a terrible idea. That part of the female body has an ecosystem and sending steam through the chute has the potential to throw it off balance. I’d say the idiom, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” has never been truer than when referring to a vagina.

Kim Kardashian has also touted some iffy practices to the common people. Kim is a fan and advocate of “waist training,” which involves wearing a corset, even while you work out — the stupid idea being that you sweat more in your abdomen area. Also, the corset is making your waist tinier because … well it’s not, because that’s impossible. Look, I get the science behind binding a baby, but trying to shrink your waist as an adult? You’re fully-grown and your bones are hard. Deal. But KK has posted several selfies in her corset and the masses are listening.

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

Actually, you can train the waist.
