I was recommended a car mechanic that "specializes in dealing with women's vehicles" this week, and I was tempted to go to him just out of curiosity. I bought my 2nd hand car from a man, so I'm not sure if the mechanic would suffer trying to mend a transgender Fiat. Anyway. I'd probably be much less confused if I'd researched this beforehand on an Epad Femme and then stabbed myself in the neck with one of those Bic Ladypens.<br />(PS. I love your blog!)

She loves them, because they give her stores and cafes to set up with her other houses she has collected over the past couple of years. It does make me feel better to know that my son loves to play with them as well, especially the lego people because they are more realistic looking.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455742835051764953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-26827917505805957392013-03-24T19:55:44.623-05:002013-03-24T19:55:44.623-05:00I was reading the wrap up about your concerned &qu...I was reading the wrap up about your concerned "friend" who was essentially rearing her ugly ovaries about every thing she CANNOT do when I stumbled upon this blog. Holy sweet, tiny baby Jesus I almost lost my mind. I played with Hot Wheels when I was little; because I grew up with a buncha boys and playing with Barbie wasn't cool. Breaking bones and being put into wrestling moves were MUCH cooler. Hot Wheels sucked then and they suck now...and really who does their marketing? Here's the thing, if I were a Mom invited to Mattel for some man to "teach" me how to play with cars. I would sure as shit begin a dissertation in Biology beginning with puberty and run it through menopause for those lovely gents. I would most assuredly focus on the part in the middle when I EFFING gave birth before I told them in no uncertain terms to kiss my ass. My son has never wanted a freakin' Hot Wheels car and not because I don't know how to play with them. It's because as a toy they blow and he would prefer something a little more stimulating. But shit, I'm just a girl, what the hell do I know?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820972377373227467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-40743770861446793082013-03-19T18:10:27.196-05:002013-03-19T18:10:27.196-05:00I just read about this earlier today & then sa...I just read about this earlier today & then saw you blogged about it. I read a few articles & found out the company that makes it, Eurostar, is based in Dubai. That explains it! Not saying that some men here in the Western world don't think that way, but middle-easterners still tend to think that women are inferior. They bring that attitude with them when they move here & expect it to be the same. I live in Michigan where our local school district has 27 different languages spoken & the schools are about 90% middle-eastern kids. It makes me sick that the women are still treated as just a cook & baby-making machine.Moonrayvennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254803252513819562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-69383200204883645872013-03-19T15:36:37.017-05:002013-03-19T15:36:37.017-05:00Ha. Kind of like the "Be. Wine" company ...Ha. Kind of like the "Be. Wine" company that created a whole brand of wines for women - because, and I quote, "wine categories can be intimidating" for women and women have a hard time deciphering the label to understand what it tastes like and we don't have time for that. We need wine names like (as the example they used) "mommy wines" and critter label wines (no I'm not kidding). So, they came up with wine names such as "Be.Flirty" - and I'm including this next line directly from the press release: <br />"Be unforgettable. Be playful. Be Flirty!” advises the back of the pink moscato bottle, describing the wine as a "mischievous Moscato” that is "made to be enjoyed with a wink and a smile.”<br /><br />You know us women! We just can't understand all that hard wine terminology and need something like "flirty" and "mischievous" to make us understand how a wine tastes! I mean, when they say it can be enjoyed w/ "a wink and a smile" that just TOTALLY cleared up any confusion I had on what the wine tastes like!
