This One's For The Ladies...
Okay, change of plan: Today's post was originally going to be a thoughtful consideration on the state of America's role models for young girls, beauty pageant winners. You see yesterday, our THIRD queen in two weeks, Ashley Harder, aka Miss New Jersey, announced she had to hand off her tiara to the somewhat less pregnant runner up, Erin Abrahamson. Honestly, who could have guessed that women who spend their time and resources preparing for beauty pageants prove to have questionable values?
But as I was breezing through the NYT this morning, something else caught my eye. It was the front page story 51% of Women Are Now Living Without Spouses. Now this should be interesting, I thought, since I, myself, am part of this spouseless demographic (and really, what's better than reading about oneself on the front page of the NYT?) I was also curious to see what sort of image we 51%ers were projecting to the rest of the world. Would it be "On the Go Career Gal"? Maybe "Chic Independent Operator." Well, here are the pictures the Times chose to go with to illustrate my people:
Yes, that's right: A cat lady and a fat lady!
You just know someone had a field day with that one. "Hmmm, let's think, what picture would best project the image of the single woman in today's society?... I've got it!" Now my initial reaction, "COME THE FUCK ON, YOU PENCIL-DICK BASTARDS," was, perhaps, a little emotional. Was, perhaps, one of the reasons I might still be spouseless.
So I took a moment to reflect. Maybe this really is the image single women project to the rest of the world: crazy, lazy and hungry. I mean it's now clear to me that our beauty queens project the image of slutty, nutty and easy. Interestingly, there is some overlap in the Ven diagram of American women. It's that we're all just a little KRAZY. And you know what? I can live with that. And I will live with that. Alone. With my 52 cats. And cabinets stocked with Doritos. Because I'm a modern woman, and I'm just crazy enough to be okay with that.

Im not a moocher, Hank. He was looking at Francisco. What alternative occurred to you? I merely wondered about it. So that I may give it to the press. They wont tell me, but I know. They cannot be reached by a rational argument. Hugh Akston was a distinguished man, a great mind .
Boots done, he stayed seated, staring at the brightly colored rug beneath his feet. Most of Jaraks men were stationed closely around the womens tower and the central court. Most commonly, those who were truemated fell in love, sometimes instantly sometimes it took centuries. But she knew firsthand that knowing and seeing it happen were two very different things. She wanted to lash out, but she was having trouble finding a focus. She matched his grin as he rose. Gala knelt at her side, a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Hyle spread his legs to allow enough room for Eyrhaen to settle between his thighs. Brevin had called them teasing on more than one occasion. But that wasnt to be. He smiled at her glare, the red simmering behind the hazel of his eyes. Shed come and done what she didnt want to do shed done the right thing. She glared up at Tykir when he laughed. He wasnt talking to her. Did he take your ass? This was what it was supposed to be. He, too, enjoys your garden. He shared in her laughter, and she gloried at how easy it was. The curl to his lip was resigned. She nipped at his ear as he carried her through her bedroom door.
He gripped Tykirs hip, lest they both topple from the strength of his thrusts. Everyone they passed watched carefully, knowing that something of great importance occurred this very moment. Unfortunately, that included using Eyrhaen as a lodestone, both for Herself and for Her people. The information had been followed by a lecture from Irin on how selfish she was. She wanted to lash out at Nialdlye, but that was wrong.
