Time for Literature Review:

• The June issue of Girlfriends has a fine fashion spread for Chocolate Baby Designs' Studded clothing line - butch clothing for the more girl-shaped among us. As many of you know, I enjoy wearing a fine suit, but, being a 5'3" curvy girl, it's very difficult to find one that fits well/is not pastel or otherwise girly. However: I do not have a bunch of money to spend on clothes. Interesting side note: this is the first time EVER that I have wanted to spend more than $10 on a pair of pants. EVER.

• From the "Guy Confessions" section of the May issue of academic journal Cosmopolitan: A fellow went on a date with a woman who - gasp - had not shaved her armpits! Apparantly, he was staring so much that she "went off on shallow guys who expect all women to be physically flawless. She was being so obnoxious that I just said 'I have one word for you : razor' and left her to foot the bill." Before you condemn this man for being a condescending, controlling, shallow asshole, consider this: she may have been raised on the moon and had therefore never thought of using a razor to remove underarm hair. In any case, I'm sure she's kicking herself for letting this "catch" "swim away".

• The June issue of O: The Oprah Magazine Totally About Oprah and By Oprah contains this relationship advice: Ladies, when you are arguing with your man, tell him that he is "100% correct" and that you still think you're right. Apparantly, men are too stupid to have more than one thought in their heads at a time, and will think that they have "won" the argument. Oprah wins a special prize for being derogatory towards both men and women.

• To end on a more jolly note, here's my favorite book title of the day - Hamburger!. Hamburger! would be a good name for a little cat (as all food names are, as Ryan points out). But you'd have to make sure the exclamation point stays in there. That's the super-cute part.
