It’s a holiday weekend. If you’re not already drinking, you should be! Here is a handy dandy chart I’ve created to help you decide what you should be drinking between sunrise and noon.

I realize I’m a little behind the curve here, but what the hell is wrong with this commercial of a very sexy woman in her underwear?

If you object to commercials with semi-naked women period, fine. Object away. I’m sure you’ll hate this, for example:
However, if you (like the advertising decision makers at ABC) object to the Lane Bryant ad but not the Vicky’s Secret ad, I’m a little confused. Are plus size women somehow more naked than skinny women? I’ll admit there’s more of the Lane Bryant model (in places that I sometimes wish I had more), but there are like four women in the VS ad, so on a skin for skin ratio VS is definitely the worse offender. Plus, those women sort of look like they’re orgasming in waterfalls, and the LB woman is getting ready for a date (albeit a risque one). Are there other guidelines they’re using that I’m missing?
One of Lane Bryant’s supporters (not the company themselves, as far as I can tell) created this rebuttal ad:
I don’t necessarily think this is the right response. Body acceptance means all bodies, y’all – yes, sometimes skinny woman go to unhealthy lengths to be thin, but sometimes they don’t. Sometimes curvy women are sedentary and big eaters, and sometimes they aren’t. The whole book-cover-judger thing goes both ways, right?
you’re making that up

I have 6 active email addresses.
- Work.
- Gmail – personal.
- Gmail – professional.
- Gmail – bakery.
- Gmail – blog.
- Yahoo – stuff that I don’t want to get sent to any other address.
Some of the things that come to my yahoo address are truly ridiculous. I have spam from the future.
I get 6 – 8 emails a a day from Astrology.com, with subjects like “Does He Still Love You?” and “What is Your Purpose in Life?” I freely admit that these are my fault, because I subscribed for my horoscope (Capricorn FTW), but I do feel a little frisson of stress every time one pops up. Does he still love me? What is my purpose in life?
I also get a couple of emails from iVillage.com. They send me family friendly recipes (for my big ol family?), low fat recipes (for my big ol butt?), and strange insights into the world of the online iVillage family woman.
For example, today they sent me an email that said “Are You Having a Normal Amount of Sex?”
Well, hell, iVillage, I don’t know. But now I need to! Am I having a normal amount of sex?
Turns out they don’t know either, because they only surveyed married women. Some of the survey responses are awesome, though.
Not at all predictable? 1 out of 5 women are completely unable to predict what's going to happen when they climb into bed with their spouse?
_____
Take that, people who think married women never want to have sex.
_____
Is this true, you think? I'd like to see how many of the 'yes I married the best sex of my life' ladies turned down previous proposals.
_____
Ha. Liars.
Thanks, iVillage, for this insight. Sometimes married women want to have sex and sometimes they don’t, sometimes it’s predictable and sometimes it isn’t, some of it’s the BEST SEX EVAH…. so basically, married sex is a lot like dating sex. People do what they like. Who knew.
I am not even a little bit irritating
