first of all, thank you for all the comments yesterday (and every other day). i went to the doctor today, and i will be back on wellbutrin as of tomorrow. cross your fingers for me that it goes well.
today’s vlog is a rant at marie claire, my favorite women’s magazine. it’s usually full of interesting perspectives, great fashion tips, and truly wonderful writing. but this month, marie claire published an interview with some whackadoodle who thinks men can’t be monogamous and that selling your body is a-ok.
marie claire, i understand your need to be cutting-edge and to explore different opinions as a matter of unbiased journalism. but this woman’s views are simply not valuable or worthwhile. next time, just leave this b.s. on the cutting room floor.

I can’t believe they thought that that article would appeal to their readers. Great job on the vlog

Stupid hooker.
Not you. Her.
I’m gonna be in O-town today……
lol really I think the readers of Marie Clair are just looking for a sexual escape (or maybe the publish is a guy who used to hmmm “work with” holly
)
either way I do believe the biology of men and women are different and our sexual needs differ too (perhaps due to the fact of raising kids, cooking dinners, and cleaning house arent really turn ons to many) but that doesnt mean I’m going to shop for a purse weekly for my wife to give some up to me…
great vlog.

So, what if you have two vaginas? You know, hypothetically speaking. Not that I would ever know anyone who has had two vaginas before. I wonder how much money they could make. Hmmmm.

Stupid. I agree that someone was way off-base when they thought this would be appealing. Way to promote against monogamous relationships and happy, faithful marriages. Super idea.
Great vlog. I love seeing these!
LZ recently posted..Hands off- ladies He’s mine All mine
So many things to say…
lets start with- seriously? that woman is a freaking dip shit. “whats wrong with selling your vagina” I cant believe she evern thought that was ok to say. COME ON! and Marie Claire went a little too far with this one, for sure.
and I agree- its probably a stage name. ugh. women who need stage names should be avoided at all costs.
and my final thing to say- this was your best vlog in a while. you were closer to your regular self. animated. and passionate about your disgust for the article that was written. it was great to see.
I can’t believe Marie Claire would actually think we wanted to read that and be like, okay. that sounds normal. Whaaattt?? Love your reference to Hooker University! LOL!! Excellent vlog!

Well, I do LOVE new purses!!!

Hmmmm….I’ve tried to sell my ovaries and uterus, but my vajayjay is sacred. Women should prize their vaginas, not loan them out for the sake of affording a Gucci bag. This lady sounds like a glorified crack whore who is desperately trying to justify being so by trying to make us committed folk feel like idiots….FAIL. A whore is a whore…even if she is carrying a Gucci bag.

Sorry. Did not proof read my comment. You know what I mean, right? Good. Carry on.
Kadi Prescott @DigitalKadi recently posted..You Can Go Home Again
OMG I’m with Kadi. A whore is a whore! and I’m sorry but if your willing to let your husband sleep with other women just so you can go shopping, then you REALLY have problems in your marriage! Oh wait! That’s not a marriage that is a business deal! SICK!

HA! I love the comments above me here…
Can’t believe they actually published it. Wrong on so many levels, I agree.
Oh…well, the comments above the one above me here.
mfkr i LOVE this…really, girlfriend, if you can’t squeeze a purse out of the deal w:0 encouraging your lov-ah to pork around, you NEED to be a hooker.
ps…word up on the wellbutrin.
Oh I can’t agree more. This article was so irritating.
Great post- thanks for the awesome read as usual!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha….. oh that girls poor mother… how did the world become so skewed.
frightening that this is the world our kids are growing up in…great views, great vlog!
So what you’re saying is that I should trade my lady purse for a new Coach purse? Score! Thanks so much, Marie Claire!
Robin recently posted..Random Tuesday

Back to the old career drawing board. Is selling your boobs okay?

I have gotten hooked on these vlogs. great idea!
Katie recently posted..I Saw the Signand It Opened Up My Eyes
Wow, that is fantastic. Fantastically BAD! I’m betting they’ll get enough letters that whoever decided that interview was a good idea will get sacked.
And about the Wellbutrin….I sincerely hope that goes well for you. I tried that once…and found out that a panic attack feels amazing like heart trouble. On my birthday. In the ER. After I left work (and got written up for absences because of it btw). But, I wished it would work, I felt awesomely energized until the point of epic meltdown! So, I wish the awesome part on you!
Lisa recently posted..The impression that I make
…and use our powers to get better purses.
Awesome.
Oh, Kristina’s comment rocks! 2 vaginas might work if you just use the one for your hubby and the rest for all your “male slaves” you sleep with. That is if you are a hooker like Holly.
That is JUST crazy talk!
oh, and I LOVE your titles for your blog posts.
I bet you get really interesting web searches for your blog…:)
one cluttered brain recently posted..What are my Monday Mingle Answers
I read that article a few days ago as well and was incredulous. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. The worst part is that younger, impressionable girls sometimes get their hands on magazines like Marie Claire (at least I know I did as a teenager). What is this article teaching them? Makes me sick.
I read that article too and it is ridiculous!!!
Loved your vlog

How have the 27 commenters above me all neglected to say “WTF?!? Where did you get a dying baby sheep??”
Someone needs to call Lil’ Bo Peep. I hear she lost a sheep.

Great commentary. Boo to Marie Claire for printing such rubbish.
Dear Holly Hill, PhD. from Hooker University,
My, what a lovely handbag collection and loose set of morals you have. Your parents and your OB/GYN must be so proud.
he goes to a strip club and I get a new handbag? Hmmmm, 3 handbags maybe but one, seriously, how cheap do you think I am? do not answer that.
Thia was hilarious. I literally laughed out loud.
Alexis –
It is because vlogs like this one that you are one of my favs. LOVE it!
I read you very often – you make me think, laugh, and sometimes cry.
It is for this reason that I wanted to share an award with you – I noted it to you in my blogpost “Gold Star” linked below.

“Where did you go to school.. Hooker University? That’s probably a place. I don’t know.”
Bahahahahahaha.
Really, Marie Claire? Really??
