Critique. 22 Reasons I HATE Cosmo x 8.33. Repeat.

In grad school, at Columbia ... okay, Teachers College, Columbia, nonetheless, ... my Creative Writing studies culminated in a mixed-genre project which mimicked/parodied/mocked Cosmo. While simultaneously commenting upon feminism, womanhood, sexuality, women's rights, sex, and empowerment. Or disempowerment. Since I can't find that piece--and it was a piece, let me tell you--& because the flash drive is long gone (car window smashed in c. 2009 ... whole 'nother story), 

please 

let me regale you with this.

Micro Narrative. On Freedom: Before 8AM On a Sunday.

One of those nights where you're up, like, every 1.5 hours. Last night's was my 2nd of these in-a-row. So, round 7AM, I took my 1st jog since ... probably this guy. Funny how Cobbs Hill is becoming my muse... So. Are we more free than birds? ...

Life. Saturday Night Gripes.


It's not PMS. It's worse. It's when everything that was suspended somewhere in the middle of your daily muck fell to the bottom and, on that last wave of fresh air or water or whatever, got turned up. And now it's stewing on the surface. Not even hormones can be blamed. It's the gripes. And I got 'em something nasty.

Shop Local. Think Global. One World Goods: Globally Gorgeous (Especially Against Anthropologie & The Limited).

One World Goods.

"Every item you'll see at One World Goods has a person & a story behind it." 

Jewelry comparable to Anthropologie & The Limited. Except less expensive, more unique, and fair. All of the One World Good products--jewelry, clothing & accessories, paper products, collectibles, house & home--are Fair Trade. One World Goods  items give long after you purchase. Made with such beauty & indIviDuaLity, that I compared their jewelry--bracelets , earrings, necklaces, rings--to The Limited & Anthropologie. You'll be prett(il)y surprised to see how it lines up...
