What It Is

So I should have written about this ages and ages ago, but now will just have to do.

It’s So You is 35 interesting, articulate women talking about their relationships and experiences with personal style, beauty and fashion. One of them is Jennifer Blowdryer, writer and underground style icon, who wears TuraLura and was kind enough to mention the fact in her essay.

Among the contributors: Salon.com’s Cintra Wilson, Warhol superstar and actress Mary Woronov, No-Wave badass Adele Bertei, SF club diva Chelsea Starr, the list goes on and on. Pick this book up, it’s too much fun to miss out on.

Listening to you tonight at the RNC, I was struck by something you said.

Referring to the Republican position on reproductive choice, you intoned (and I do paraphrase), “We believe that the sanctity of life begins at conception.”

Yes, Mr. Huckabee, ain’t it the truth. Begins at conception, ends at birth. After that, you’re on your own. And that unkind philosophy is surely the reason why your party is against everything that parents really need to prosper in this country: child health insurance, adequate day care for working mothers, equal pay for equal work, universal health care, civil rights, education, reproductive rights, immigration reform, prison reform, the environment, renewable energy, social security and in fact everything except war, torture, small government, no taxes and no accountability for the rich and powerful?

Just sayin’.

PS You might want to stop calling for change like that. It just reminds everyone that y’all have been in power for f*ckin’ ever.
