I can't really blame Pinterest, it is the people who promote various pins that are partially to blame, but mostly it's the blogosphere that is the problem. Who are these people anyway? I promise, despite the fancy photos, perfect crafts, and clever titles, they are not much different than you and me. I am in my pink bathrobe surrounded by toys with a white chinchilla plotting my demise from his cage behind me, just like everyone else.
I remember being a teenager reading the magazines, taking the quizzes, and coming to the realization that I had just as much expertise in the "Is he digging you or your best friend?" arena as the people who wrote that crap. But did that stop me from finding out "What's your party personality?" Nope. The authors knew all the burning insecurities on every young girl's mind and provided a way to appease/feed them.
