Questions every career woman has every asked herself

Does a reputation as a globe-trotting, husband-stealing, world-saving, children-collecting celebrity help or hurt Angelina Jolie’s career?

These are exactly my day-to-day struggles as a small business owner.

But of course I’m going to read it. She’s like Jackie Kennedy. I can’t get enough of that human drama. The Minkwrangler wonders why I get tied up in these people’s lives, rather than fixing my own.

Why We’re No Longer Catholic: BBC News – Women priest law ‘a slap in face’

The Vatican says ordaining women is “grave” as is sex abuse, but denied it was equating the two.  That’s as clear as the Latin mass.

Mink: Now that I have two Facebook profiles, Facebook is suggesting that I friend myself.

Minkwrangler: Your therapists have been telling you that for years.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Losing Baby Weight Was ‘By Far Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Done’

Gwyneth Paltrow: Losing Baby Weight Was ‘By Far Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Done’.

Oh, Gwyneth, I had no idea.  I can’t believe this happened to you.  They say bad things happen to good people, and yet it’s sometimes incomprehensible the among of horror that life throws at us.

80 Percent of Boomer Women Masturbate; 0 Percent of Wire Services Want That in a Headline

MediaPost Publications Sex And Women: A Giant Market Opportunity, Silenced 07/06/2010.

While we are endlessly faced with boner ads during the evening newscast, BusinessWire refused to accept this headline “VibrantNation.com Research Shows that While Sex May Frustrate Boomer Women, They are Taking Matters into Their Own Hands.”

VibrantNation.com was reporting that half of the baby boomer women surveyed said they are dissatisfied with their sex lives, but most said they are doing something about it. Eighty percent said they masturbate, while 56% use sex toys (another 10% is interested in them).

BusinessWire said that it couldn’t run such a headline because it contained “innuendo.” Which, of course, you never see in erectile dysfunction ads.

The Great Legacy.com Swindle

Plastic Surgery: OK or Not?

Minkwrangler: Who. On. Earth. Would. Inject. Toxin. Into. Face?

Mink: Botox is a treatment, not a toxin.

Minkwrangler: You drive me crazy when you believe the same marketing speak you write.  Don’t even tell me you are thinking of injecting your face with a toxin.

Mink: Of course not.  My priority is to get my chin fixed.

Minkwrangler: What? You would seriously consider plastic surgery.

Mink: When I could pay for it, yes.  I’m tired of having a droopy chin.

Minkwrangler: People die in surgery. You are not getting plastic surgery.  It will not happen.

Mink: You can’t tell me what to do. <Helen Reddy, music under>

Minkwrangler: Who know your body better, you or me? I know your body is ideal just as it is, and you are not going into surgery to touch one part of what I adore.

Mink: Why do you have to put it that way?  I can’t argue against that.

Note from Mink: I later lost this argument big time when we found out that the First Wives Club author Olivia Goldsmith died in chin-tuck surgery.  That really wouldn’t be good.
