Rachel Sklar: “I actually feel like the media has held back on this one…”
Um, except for your publication.
“Sorry, your name has been removed from this Evite Invitation.”
Ouch! Nastiness is transparent on Evite kids.
How my night began: Around 5:30 p.m., editor #2 informs me that editor #1 told her I’d be turning in my story about Georgetown today. Too bad editor #1 never told me that. She tells me to stop complaining, and “fucking get it done.”
I cancel plans so I can go hang out with the cougars at Cafe Milano to write the story.
Before I can get over the bridge on P Street, I get a flat. On my scooter, that’s a scary thing.
Then it starts to rain. Hard. I’m soaking wet by the time I manage to hail a cab. When I realize I have no cash, he kicks me out and drives away. I run into a cafe, get cash, run back outside where a black man in a suit is getting denied by a cabbie. That cabbie, of course, lets me in. I try to wave the black man over, but the cabbie locks the doors. Racism’s so much more fun when it’s pooring down rain!
I decide soaking wet is no way to be at Cafe Milano. Plus, all the cougars are probably curled up at home with a needle of botox and a pint of ice cream. I’m about it indulge in one of those myself.
Where’s the summertime jams already? I always had a soft spot for this one. Came out, I think, in my freshman year at NYU. Based on Genius of Love by the Tom Tom Club. Whatchya gonna do when you get out of jail? I’m gonna have some fun.
Now I’m going shopping. Will be poolside later this afternoon.
This article pissed me off. I guess that was the point. But really, does everyone cheat? I don’t! ??? My aunt is a vegetarian but once a year she breaks down and eats a hamburger. Maybe we should all just be like that with sex and partners.
