What?

Why the hell did I just get an email correcting the assertion in a previous email I didn't get "that only models will be admitted and that their guests had to be models too," and assuring me that "the best looking guests will be admitted w[h]ether they are models or not" to some event at Tiffany & Co.?

Even "man is that all you talk about besides dresses?" counts

Wrote an abstract and sent off a cover letter and resume to the ATHM for an internship. Feeling ... moderately better? On an upswing, anyway. I'll get Mom to look over the abstract before I send it, and I hope that it's accepted, because I'd love to write the paper. Maybe I will anyway, and then I'll have it to submit if a similar topic ever comes up again.

Somehow I found a link to this article, We Said Feminist Fairy Tales, Not Fractured Fairy Tales! I think it makes a compelling argument that retellings that flip the gender roles (the prince is totally helpless, the princess fights the dragon) are not as feminist as retellings that give all characters agency and depth. Of course I'd say that, though, I'm always babbling on about preferring to read historical fiction where the characters are somewhat conventional for their time (or if they're unconventional, they're realistically unconventional) but have more depth. Any thoughts?
