The Angstageddon! It's coming!

Once upon a time there were no tampons in three out of the four girls' bathrooms. We complained to the front office. Now there are magical tampon bowls. We are the tampon heroes of our elitist prep school. And how fine it is!

A Russian For Mid-Afternoon Tea

How much rape and elitism is in YOUR thinly-veiled-fantasy-as-a-novel?

But she is pretty fabulous. Who else could pull off that hat like that?

Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum [Ayn Rand] 1905-1982

A faboo (though perhaps anachronistic) side-note: in 19th century Russia it became fashionable to drink tea with the sugar cube held between your teeth.

    What did she do, darling?
