Well past midnight, I stood squinting at the bathroom mirror. I hate getting ready for bed. Taking out contacts, brushing teeth, washing off makeup, smearing on anti-acne junk, letting it dry before applying the OTHER anti-acne junk, flossing (in theory)… all so tedious. If I started this rigmarole at, say, 9 PM, I’d be fine. [...] 
In honor of my Body Hair? Laissez-Faire! project, Phoebe blessed me with the following flowchart: It brought me great joy. 
Where did we leave off? Ah, yes: “…why our first kiss was such a let-down, what completely mundane thing he said on our third date that touched my heartstrings…” On October 18th, 2007 at roughly 1:25 pm, I ran into Ian in the music building— Ian, the singing graduate student whose mysterious charm reduced me [...] 
When I met Mr. Jaunty, I was on a self-imposed dating hiatus. I outlined this concept on my old blog, way back in 2007. BEHOLD: Preparing for Mr. Fabulous We have many common interests, my Man and I, and a long, long list of differences. Luckily, we know how to politely [...] 
Months ago, I promised to tell the tale of “how I worshiped Mr. Jaunty from afar—- he was called ‘Ian’ back then— how I almost blew our first date, how we ended up together, why our first kiss was such a let-down, what completely mundane thing he said on our third date that touched my heartstrings, [...] 
Jeans and a T-shirt; the laid-back American uniform. Who makes our wardrobes— and where do they go when we’re tired of them? My mommy recommended T-Shirt Travels to me, and it touched my stony li’l heart. Grab some popcorn, get comfy, and learn something new: More interested in new clothes than old? Watch another [...] 
Seven days after I stopped shaving my legs, my boyfriend packed a suitcase and skipped town. Either he can’t stand to be near someone so obviously mammalian, or he has an opera gig in New Mexico. One never knows. I’ve wondered if conditioning women to dislike their own body hair influences their feelings regarding men’s [...] 
Many dudes are keenly interested in female genitalia and blood, though not necessarily in that order. Therefore, you’d THINK these dudes would looooove hearing about menstruation. But no. (Squeamish folk, that was your warning. Period talk ahoy!) Every month, my crotch bleeds. Has for years. As you know, I’m a big fan of Diva Cups. [...] 
For ages, I’ve wanted to trade my old, bulky leather gloves for something sleeker and less made-of-skin. I scoured department and discount stores, but all the colorful, studded, stylish gloves I saw were… leather. I finally found simple-but-cute vegan gloves at Wal-Mart (of all places); they’re “sensations by Isotoner,” and cost $12. Old gloves, new [...] |
