Still in their forties. Cougars never age - they just get skinnier and skinnier until they eventually fall through the cracks.

In three seperate magazines this weekend, I read articles that allege that the trend for Spring is a fuller bush. These articles all claim that smooth and bare is out, and hairy and neatly trimmed is in.

Discuss.

I cant imagine a bigger waste or anything more tragic than spending your fleeting cute blonde 25 yo girl years as an intern or a paralegal in Philadelphia. Seriously.

All the more reason to seek whatever drug these people are on. It obviously obliterates all appreciation for the desperation of one's existence.

In all seriousness, though, I'd love to know what makes these perpetually pleasant fuckers tick. Not since possibly mid junior year of college have I felt consistently up and positive. Its always waves. I gotta get get whatever it is that bridges the troughs for these shiny happy fuckers. I used to think it was genetic, or that maybe these happy bastards were just too stupid to know better, but these perma-smiling people are spread across all intelligence, socioeconomic and genetic backgrounds. So what the fuck is it? Where do these people get the "up with people" vibe?

Mind you, I'm not talking about the freak Mary Poppinish firm librarian who sings to herself and keeps pictures of her cats on her desk. She's not happy - she's nuts. I'm talking about these bubbly people who jump into each day - and just about every work day is dull - like its a new tour of the Chocolate Factory. What's in their heads?

Here is the urban dictionary definitions page. There are assorted definitions. The 9th is interesting in that it cites as a related reference "Coon Rapids, Minnesota."

Cite please.

BTW, I never dug the fully shaved gig. Its just too strange. You need some bush for contrast. Its an ornament of sorts.

I agree that the fully shaven look (no hair whatsoever) is creepy in a slightly pedophilic kind of way, but I don't dig the unkempt shrubbery either. Give me a nice landing strip any day of the week.

Yeah, I know how you feel. Sometimes, on Monday mornings, when the work week starts off with a flurry of "oh my god, look at how this got all fucked up, could you please fix it for us now" emails, I happen upon a conversation where people are talking about how great it would be to be 25 again, how youth is fleeting and should not be spent in an office, and how cougardom starts at 35, and for some reason, I don't know why, I get depressed, too.

Maybe it's the fact that I just got a bikini wax and now find out that I'm going to be out of style this spring. How can I go on?

What the hell does this mean?

Greater surface area coverage but trimmed very short?

Since both you and AdL asked, I think it was an old Allure, this month's Marie Claire, and I think Sunday's Sun Sentinel.

But I can't be sure.

Apparently yes.

It can also be fuller and short in front while remaining completely bare below.

According to the articles that I read.

It was in GQ about two months ago.

I bought it once. No subscription. I'm so embarassed.

I'll call MSNBC and tell them that you think they're sloppy and deceptive. You can probably expect a call.

I received an e-mail this morning from MSNBC stating they had corrected their "Women in the Workforce" chart in response to my timmy e-mail. :bow2:

1) It's spring
2) clearly they don't kjnow what they are missing. Ignorance is bliss.
3)they have no responsibilities.

and speaking of cute young (bottle) blondes, I would like to note that at one time yesteday, Briotney Spears was on Behind the Music, E! Britney Spears and Showtime's Britney in Miami. Does this overexposure, this forcing the Brtiney doiwn our collective throats, mean that her publicity machine is desperate to keep her career from gong into full metal Do Not Resusciate?

And speaking of DNR careers, JHo is on Will and Grace's finale. If I were her publicist, I would portray her as the victim of the slime in People or something. In like two years. She neds to do a Demi.

And did Jersey Girl do bad enough to kill of Ben Affleck? I saw the returns but dont know what is bad enough to do it. Str8? NFH?
