This would also be good reason for a freak-out. And now for an interruption in our regularly scheduled programming (I owe you a dissertation on poo, I know.) The following is an announcement from the Emergency Charlotte Broadcast System. This is not a test. I repeat, this is not a test. (And it’s not a …

As in the baby from the Popeye cartoons. Yeah, it’s a little weird to nickname your girlfriend after an infant with no legs but …
One of my favorite memories growing up is of our monthly household-wide Period Party. That’s right, a party devoted to the menstrual happenings of all the women in the house. My mother was a community health nurse who took care of the pregnant teens at whatever school it was to which they sent the girls …
Oh do you remember when Shape magazine claimed none of their cover models are airbrushed? Editor-in-chief Valerie Latona responded to accusations of photo fakery in her monthly letter from the editor in the March edition saying she “emphatically and truthfully” promises that “we do not alter stars’ bodies.” Latona says her magazine “features ladies who …
