lexapro

An SSRI that like many others, carry great risk of sexual side effects, fatigue and weight gain. Has fewer side effects than Prozac generally, but Prozac makes you lose weight in the beginning.

I took Lexapro for 6 months and gained 15 pounds even though I was eating less and exercising. wtf

supermodel

Contrary to popular belief, a supermodel is not just any prominent model. There are only five: Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Claudia Schiffer. These are the models who ruled the fashion industry in the 1990s with outrageous contract demands and failed though financially rewarding attempts at acting and singing; the era of the supermodel is over. Prominent models are known as "powermodels" and include Tyra Banks, Kate Moss, Gemma Ward, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bundchen and the like.

Janice Dickinson claims to be the world's first supermodel but she is actually just a hideous troll.

My favorite supermodel is Christy Turlington. She seemed more down to earth.

V Day

V Day or Vagina Day is a day established by Eve Ensler, author of the Vagina Monologues, to end domestic violence and sexual abuse of women. It is celebrated on Valentine's day and many communities put on plays from parts of the Vagina Monologues or additional stories related to orgasms, menarche, first sexual experiences, sexuality, molestation, rape, etc. They express what a vagina would say if it could talk. Proceeds from the plays go towards centers for domestic violence and rape preventions.

On V Day, I went to see the Vagina Monologues in New York. Whoopi Goldberg, Gloria Steinem, Rosie Perez, Kate Winslet, Glenn Close, Cate Blanchett, Susan Sarandon, Winona Ryder, and Lily Tomlin. It was hilarious, sad, heartbreaking, and eye-opening.
