Nice girls don't wear cha-cha heels.

I am all for any excuse to watch scary movies, and in October it's tradition. I'm trying to decide what's going on the list for this year. Some I've seen before, some will be all new to me. - any suggestions would be both appreciated and strongly considered. Here's what I've got so far: Director's cut, natch provided I can find it by then I need your help! What new(ish) movies do you suggest?

  I feel like I could write forever about this book. There is so much to love about it. The Vagina Bible reads to me like one doctor's attempt to subvert the reality that the modern world continues to hold fast to the concept that there is something inherently gross, shameful, or just plain bad about the female body.    Here's the synopsis: Instant New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller Does eating sugar cause yeast infections? Does pubic hair have a function? Should you have a vulvovaginal care regimen? Will your vagina shrivel up if you go without sex? What's the truth about the HPV vaccine?    So many important questions, so much convincing, confusing, contradictory mis information. In this age of click bait, pseudoscience, and celebrity-endorsed products, it's easy to be overwhelmed--whether it's websites, advice from well-meaning friends, uneducated partners, and even healthcare providers. So how

Form Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. They give me no money, nor do they in any way influence my thoughts - those are 100% my own for better or worse. Ali Wong is a stand-up comedian, actress, writer and producer. She is so incredibly funny that I knew as soon as I saw it on Net Galley, I just had to read this book. Baby Cobra is one of the funniest stand-up specials I've ever seen (It's like Eddie Murphy's Raw levels of funny - I laugh cried more than once. And sometimes just cried cuz the entire notion of pregnancy/childbirth horrifies me that much). This book  is more than just incredibly funny, though (although it definitely is laugh out loud funny). It is also sweet, and honest, and occasionally brutal. In short, it's all the things that Wong's fans love about her. Written as a series of letters to her two young daughters, Dear Girls covers the way their parents met (as well

  Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters is the story of Nancy Astley, and the trials and tribulations she must face on the journey to self discovery and finding (not to mention holding on to) love as a young lesbian living in Victorian-era England. We follow her through a string of life experiences both good and bad, as well as a string of lovers both good and bad. Life at that time couldn't have been terribly easy to begin with, but being a "masher" (Victorian slang for a male impersonator), a "tom" (a boyish-dressing lesbian), and at one point a "renter" (prostitute), Nan didn't have much chance to have anything easy. I have no earthly idea why I hadn't read this book until now. I've been aware of its existence for many years. I knew it was hugely popular, and I knew that it had spawned a television mini-series (which I've also never seen - sad face). I just never got around to it - kind of like Anna Karenina which I only rece

  I'm reviewing a textbook, and I don't even care. In the many, many long years I've been in college (no, I'm not Tommy Boy-ing it, I went for an associates in business [boooo] and then decided to go back and get a bachelor's in English/Writing [yaaaay]) I've had to read a lot of heinously expensive, dry and boring textbooks. This was one but not the other.  It was a very interesting book, and I feel like I learned a lot, but do I feel like I learned $175 worth of information from it that I absolutely couldn't have learned elsewhere (cuz I just looked at my order receipt, and that's how much I paid for it. ugggggggghhhhhhhh.)? Fuckin' nope.  When I originally reviewed this book on Goodreads, I gave it 4 stars. Now that I re-discovered the price I paid for it via my school's B&N bookstore, I want to burn everything. College is tantamount to highway robbery where the vagabonds teach you a few things before they rob you of every pen
