The world is going to hell in a handbasket, so more and more I wonder how that might change if our leaders were women not men. Alas, I need wonder no longer.

We NakedAuthors now have our very own OFFICIAL BOOKMARK and it is FABOOOOOO! The front is similar to our banner above except our mugs are in color. On the back is "A cop, a Brit, a deb, a B-school grad, and a wise-cracking lawyer wrestle with the NAKED TRUTH about literature and life." If you can't wait until you see one of us to get one for your very own, simply send a self-addressed stamped envelope to moi at:

Ms. Smiley:
ReplyDeletePlease be advised that under the Alien & Sedition Acts of 1798 your current posting is seditious, salacious, and saracastic.
Your promotion of cross-dressing reveals your anti-family, pro-gay marriage, liberal Democrat agenda. (Did you show Hillary Clinton dressed as a man? I think not!)
Further, we've been listening to your phone calls for some time now and have heard you discussing murders, kidnappings, and criminal goings-on of all sorts. We've got a cell with your name on it at Guantanamo, sister.
Please arrange for your surrender immediately.
Alberto Gonzalez, Esq.
(P.S. Do you know a place on Melrose where I can get a simple black dress with spaghetti straps?)
Dear Alberto,
ReplyDeleteSimple black dress with spaghetti straps? I think not. It's summer. Hot in Washington, DC. How about a simple bikini with a matching cover-up.

Dear Gitmo Girl,
ReplyDeleteClearly, the Silly Summer Season has arrived. Those faux-photos are fab.
As is the Elizabeth Gaskell quote. I didn't know that one.
Louise...the "Silly Summer Season." Love the alliteration. For me, that season pretty much lasts all year long.
ReplyDeleteShould I worry that I find the Bill Clinton photo attractive?
ReplyDeleteJim
I feel like the constable [Graham Chapman] in a Mony Python skit......."Silly,silly,silly.....Get on with it.....Get ON WITH IT..."
ReplyDeletenice plug for your bookmarker,though.....
Can we get side of assonance to go with that alliteration?
Jon
Worry, Jim, worry.
ReplyDeleteJon, sure, throw in a side of assonance. The more the merrier.
Bookmark...cool.
ReplyDeleteWell! THAT was fun! Thank you.
