People have known tight bras (esp underwires) may contribute to breast cancer by cutting off lymph drainage. http://greenfertility.blogspot.com/2006/05/your-bra-can-kill-you.html Sadly, Olga, of Olga bras died of breast cancer. So her daughter, instead of disavowing bras, makes a new "lymph massaging" bra. It's till a rubber band around your lymph nodes!!! Keep up the good work! marie Twisty,

Here's an exact quote from my Webster's: regimen, n. 1. a systematic plan (as of diet, therapy, or medication) esp. when designed to improve and maintain the health of a patient, or a regular course of action and esp. of strenuous training (the daily regimen of a top ballet dancer); 2. GOVERNMENT, RULE; 3. REGIME. Only you can look hilarious and punk rock while fully Barbie-fied. Wonderful! And yes, I'm posting backwards, recent to older entries. Sue me.

If you relax your eyes, as if looking at those 3D illusion posters, the two pictures come together to form a pink and blue Mega Twisty! With full on flickering 3D effect, yo. My eyes hurt now.

There may even be a causal relationship over and above the correlational one. Shocking, but true. And I'm not going to be ashamed to admit it any longer. There, I said it. Twisty, you really ARE to blame for corrupting the women of America! I bet that gives you the warm fuzzies. Okay, okay, so I've shaved once since I "stopped" but my person of interest didn't notice either way so WOOPIE! ten less minutes in the morning and ten fewer dollars a week! Plus, I haven't gotten sunburned on my knees since, and if that isn't a benefit when one lives in Florida, I don't know what is. All in all, the point is that selling women empowerment through makeup and fashion is bullshit whether the seller is Avon or Bust. I'm pleased to not buy, and I'd like to thank Twisty for helping me reach that point in some small way. The 500 page textbook on radfem from the library helped a little, too.
