Here's a letter I'll pretend to have received:  Dear Poppy,  I am fat, broke, and out of it, yet I want to spark up my look for fall, 2008. Can you help?  Signed,  Your Faithful BlogHer Reader 

This may come as a surprise from someone who is a Contributing Editor for Business, Personal Finance and Career, but I don't like to talk about money. Truth be told, I avoid the topic at all costs. I hate money. Yes, I like to use money. But I hate what it does to people. It divides. It judges.It makes people who have great personal success feel like failures.
