We still don’t have a clear idea of how to “fix” anything. We start to worry that our caree... |

The Beauty With The Briefcase by Amanda Guralski - Jun, 2010 Back when I was in college, I fully subscribed to the philosophy of one Ani DiFranco, patron saint of angst-filled young women. One of her songs, “32 Flavors”, rang profoundly true for me, especially this verse: God help you if you are an ugly girl/’Course too pretty is also your doom/’Cause everyone harbors a secret resentment/for the prettiest girl in the room...
