And the thought I'll leave you with tonight? A quote from comic Rob Delaney, via The Daily Femme:

"My guy friends and I have a much broader palate when it comes to women’s bodies than Maxim or Cosmopolitan would lead you to believe. And I’m not putting this forth to sound noble; what I’m saying is absolutely a variation on ‘Guys’ll fuck anything.’ But I’d like to expand that and say, ‘Guys’ll fuck anything, and they’ll enjoy it. AND they’ll fuck it again. AND they’ll even be nice to it and tell it it’s beautiful and take it to dinner and listen to its dreams and fuck it exclusively and brag about how happy they are to be doing it to their other guy friends who reject the notion (as vehemently as any Women’s Studies major at Wesleyan) that women should fit into some unforgiving, unvarying Barbie mold."

Hello, ladies!



I have lots of nifty tidbits to share with you this week, so here we go!

* While nibbling some multigrain toast at breakfast this morning, I pondered the fact that peanut butter is wonderfully (deliciously) versatile. It can be eaten as part of a healthy first meal of the day, or can star in decadent treats like these Peanut Butter Squares. I totally reccomend that link, by the way-- there's a recipe and giveaway at passthesushi.com!

* Duffy is adorable! I've been a fan since her first album, Rockferry. In this video, she discusses and performs her new song, "Don't Forsake Me".

* I love the cut of this fabulous dress. It has a cinched waist which is flattering on all body types and is classically pretty.

* LIVE NUDE CATS!

* In "The Lazy Geek's Travelling Office", Richard Kershaw discusses how he is able to run a successful business and spend three to four months of the year abroad.

* 6 Tips for Looking Better in Photos

Have a great weekend!
