As well as being called a princess, I have been called a bitch a few times in my life. Again, it's the aloof thing, but it's also probably because I have no time for idiots/liggers/suck ups, and I have a tendency to get a bit lippy after a few drinks. Natalie and I like to call it being "sassy", but it's probably just being bitchy. But um, whatever. Tina Fey was right; bitches get stuff done.(On a side note: I really like Tina Fey. Mean Girls, 30 Rock, Sarah Palin... But that's a whole other blog post.)
Um, where was I? Oh: I just finished reading this New York magazine article, The Bitch and the Ditz, which argues that instead of being the "Year of the Woman", 2008 was actually a year where female stereotypes were reinforced. Thank you Hilary Clinton (the bitch), thank you Sarah Palin (the ditz). Read it, it's quite interesting. And while you're there, read the rest of the site - it's one of my favourites and I really want to write for their fashion blog The Cut. It's freakin' hilarious: they rip into Peaches Geldof and they use words like 'spiffy'.
Ok, I am raving now. I need a cup of tea.
