$15 a day??? Shit. No wonder. Who the fuck would be desperate enough to do that one?
I wish there was a thoughtful, well written fashion website out there, something to counter all the mindless, horribly written bullshit out there. The only one that comes to mind is a fan blog for the model Freja Beha Erichsen.

No only is the writing bed but they spammed the shit out of my inbox with about 10 emails per day whenever they updated their shitty site. I finally opted out of emails and hope that that stops their spammy practices.

so i went ahead and googled ‘vejazzle’ and found an article describing what it is. the article also has a voluminous number of fun and new ways to say ‘vagina’ without actually having to say ‘vagina’. like ‘lily’.

That is truly atrocious! Is the Godawful Writing Award going to become a staple? If so, or if not but you still want to become enraged, check out Groupon. They write “””clever””” descriptions of their daily deal in the most misguided attempt at marketing there ever was.

I hate “vajayjay” and “lady bits” It’s a labia and vagina, grow up!

As someone who recently turned down a writing internship at Refinery29, I can tell you that they pay their writers shit. I am a writer and I think I’m pretty damn good at it. It’s how I make my living after all. I had starry-eyed dreams of really going somewhere if I interned at Refinery29, but their “paid stipend” is a JOKE. $15 a day to pay for food and transportation. In NYC. I would have gone there and performed indentured servitude, and they would have profited from my skills. No thanks.

Sister Wolf, I promise, if I had worked for them, I would have never stringed together such alarming “prose” as “cray-cray for the vajayjay.”

Dodged a bullet, I did.

Cricket- they don’t need to advocate footbinding, expensive 5-inch stilettos perform a lot of the same functions (and gushing over them keeps the advertisers in business, too).

Yes, armpits bleaching is (according to Vogue and Globe & Mail) around for some time already; having a shade darker skin there is a “no-no” (another expression I hate; it often appears in women magazines). I’m just waiting for Vogue to tell us that foot binding is a “delightful” practice.

Ugh, I’m not sure which of ‘v-j-j’ and ‘pink obsession’ is worse. What is with this quest for the most nauseating euphemisms? Does anybody read those terms and actually feel delighted, or whatever?

EJ -You are not alone. I’ve been growing my armpits for 30 years and no one comes near my crotch except to pay homage to its natural foliage.
