Idolsize Me!

Yeah right. Read on…
Ann Hornaday from the Washington Post hits the nail on the head.
Idolspizing should not be an unfamilar emotion to any red-blooded woman. I, for example, idolspize most everyone I meet when in New York or LA, or certainly at the rare DC cushy media event to which I am invited. SOmetimes it happens at Whole Foods. I certainly idolspize women who found non-profits while earning six figures and maintaining their manicure.
It’s someone you COULD have been, had you been better.
To paraphrase Hornaday (insert your favorite target here; she uses author Susan Orlean):
I love X, I hate Susan X, I wish I could be X, I’m not smart/pretty/talented/enterprising enough to be X. I idolize X. I despise X.
I idolspize X.
