Unspeakable

for most of my life, there have been commercials – or really cries for help with a phone number at the bottom – about saving starving children. unicef generally has the market cornered on this. they’ve been seeking help for these horribly malnourished children for over twenty years. and it seems that they are making …

They’ve Done Studies

if you make a habit out of saying “they’ve done studies” in order to sound more intelligent and back up whatever point you’re trying to convey, more often than not – the people you are talking to just think you’re an idiot. which you probably are. which studies? make up a name if you have …

High Heels

what a wonderful invention the high heel was. a way to lift the heel from the ground and in the process accentuate the calves and backyard of any gal who happens to slip them on. it seems simple enough on paper, but sadly just wearing them doesn’t in any way guarantee that you will look …
