What could possibly make a bitch happier than finding a new trend?
Being the new trend. Yup. That’s us.
Who said so?
Well, just the granddaddy of “Mad Men,” the almighty advertising, marketing, and brand agency formerly known as J. Walter Thompson, now known simply as JWT.
They keep track of the culture’s pulse with their “Anxiety Index.” (We can so relate, though these days little white pills work well.)

This morning we went to J Crew to return an impulse purchase from yesterday. In fact, getting it together to make amends in such a timely manner and dispose of this mistake made us feel proud. We avoided the ‘meaning to return...
Who wants to live in the real world all the time? A bitch is in touch with her fantasies. Yep, we’re big fans of role-play… especially thrifty role-play. We’re on a budget, after all.
When you think role-play, you probably think leather-clad...
