"Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this 'hard work', time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right. "

re:Read: Does This Make My Assets Look Fat?

A lady keeps her ass tight, and her assets tighter. Are you in great financial shape?

Just like your favorite teacher in school, Susan Hirshman understands that humor is an excellent educational tool. “Let’s face it, finance can be boring and it can be hard to keep people’s attention,” she says sagely, “People learn when they are relaxed and when they can relate to the subject matter.” We’re taking this as a cue to make 2011 the year when we stop yakking and start investing. Because, as they say, talk is cheap. AMEN!

Where do you fall into Hirshman’s painfully accurate category breakdown of irresponsible female behavior?

Princess: Believes that someone else will take care of them.

Polly Anna: shops till she drops and still thinks it will all work out in the end.

Pauper: Believes that her financial situation is hopeless anyway, so why bother.

Procrastinator: Feels like she’s already stretched so thin and has no time to focus now.

Perfectionist: Feels that finance is too intimidating to learn, and since she thinks she won’t be good at it she avoids it altogether.

Rising Revolt

2010-12-20T11:41:00.000-08:00

Inspired by the woman’s empowerment movement during the 1940’s when war forced housewives to hang up their aprons and enter the male dominated workforce, PLUTOCRACY’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection “Rising Revolt” represents the modern corporate rebel... The woman who knows she can look sexy and professional at the same time. The woman who refuses to blend in with the suits she is surrounded by. The woman who won’t take “no” for an answer and wears the clothes that show she means it. The corporate rebel uses her sense of style to show her state of mind and is stirring up the masses in a Rising Revolt...

Strikingly similar features and expressions. Note how each is serving up the same stealthy dosage of sensuality. To think Joyce painted her hair with radiator paint, how FRESH is that????

The Sex and the City Paradox
" 'You are simultaneously totally objectified and more empowered than you used to be.' Objectified because we're prostrating our bodies on some pedestal of misogynistic, almost pedophiliac-like desire, creating a false kind of perfect woman whose beauty and polish can be attained only after hours and weeks of personal grooming and high-end hygiene. Empowered because it's all marketed to us as some sort of self-improvement."
