Do you know, Bart, Emma is the sweetest sweetie of all.
To be fair, at least one of us was drunk.
Can I say, while this is supposed to be about selling books, and selling books would be very cool because it's difficult to pay rent with affection* I am getting all terribly excited about just meeting everybody. I am really looking forward to this.
*Difficult. Not impossible. -
Heh, I knew I was having that deja vu feeling for a reason. From November '07
If you count reaming men as a victory for feminism, then giving them our preoccupation with completely unnecessary grooming is pretty much FTW. We've gone from 'run the country? not with those nasal hairs' to male Brazilians. Yes, that's right, paying someone to rip all your pubic hair out by the roots in an attempt to make the scrotum attractive. Sucked. In.

I'd get Emma to sign her book for me too but I'm too scared of her to ask.
Oh Bart, I'm harmless. A netball game and some rice pudding and I'm anyone's.

Not really. Our equivalent pressure is money/success.
Speak for yourself, darling.
Yeah, the heavily-photoshopped cover of Men's Health magazine would disagree with you. (It's the reverse of the women: the heads are too small for the bodies.) Pecs like dinner plates, and gods forbid men should have body hair.
But. Every individual responds differently. Some members of both sexes really genuinely don't give a shit or even notice.

If the media had as great an influence on body image and eating habits as is claimed we wouldn't have a population that was ~50% overweight or obese
Yes Danyl, that's a reasonable measure. Because wanting to be thin automatically makes you so. There's no media pressure to be young, either, or we all would be.

Just realised: does this make Emma one of the Ladies Who Launch?
That depends. Can David be one too?

Just to prove that you can't make everyone happy... know what phrase I'd like to see die in a ditch? "Real women have curves." No, actually, I think you'll find ALL women are real.
There may have been an extended argument a couple of months ago about whether to photoshop off a freckle and a mole of mine. Their new scarcity may be making freckles all shexay.

be all right if it was a beer worth drinking
Heineken, pink shoes, the whole thing makes no sense to me.
I like Sofie's dinner plans, though I might skip the pie.

No, no, I'm pretty sure this goes:
Apparatus
1. Beehive-looking thing.
2. Petrol.
3. Barbeque lighter.
The rest is pretty much the same, though. -
I shall be there, probably the only one in double breasted pinstripes, with my Presbyterian reserve and my silent thoughts of 'I think that goes a bit far.'
Awesome. I was raised Presbyterian. I think I'm still allowed on the Reserve.
