Skinny Wisdom

When someone says “do your worst” to me, I give them a Montessori-school education and a gluten-free cupcake.

Color psychology is my life. Watches are gold, because time is the real currency. Barns are red, because farmers want us to stop

tagging pictures of farm-to-table brunches. I appear to crave independen­ce, but really I just want to read your blog. Braid my hair

and feed me cold tofu. When Dostoevsky wrote that beauty will save the world, I don’t think he meant to inspire a Dove commercial.

When I watched that Dove commercial, I didn’t mean to get turned on. A recent study found that straight women

are most attracted to men with strong immune systems and resistance to hepatitis B. I’m most attracted to those with no resistance

to misshapenn­ess. To catfish accounts. Beowulf was the original Bae. The first baby named Brexit was born in South Beach today.
