tell her she's beautiful, saintly and immune from prosecution.....
"Among other things, Cherie Blair, 48, and a high-profile lawyer, is said to wear inflatable "Flowtron" trousers to combat leg bloat. She has been photographed wearing stress-fighting acupressure earrings and a "bioelectric shield pennant," believed to ward off harmful radiation from everyday appliances like personal computers.
She also reportedly consults a psychic (faxing over her spiritual questions when she can't make it in person), and according to British news accounts, once took part in a "rebirthing" ceremony in Mexico in which she and the prime minister shouted and smeared mud and ripe fruit pulp on each other.
For those who aren't aware of it, Cherie Blair is the wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Gabriela noted a couple of good lines from the article: "exhaustion and overload can send smart women rushing to foolish therapies" and "nice soothing mumbo-jumbo literally serves as balm for the soul".
Personally, I think the article goes too easy on her. It basically says, "they do these things because they're under alot of stress." Poor people are under just as much stress, if not more, but we still shake our heads in disbelief when they spend money on psychics and faith healers. "Quirky" behavior? I guess if you have enough money, "crazy" becomes "eccentric".
