You’ve seen it a million times. Some emotionally vulnerable woman sits by the phone all night (weepy romantic movie playing in the background optional) just waiting for that cute guy to call. When’s he going to call? Why won’t he call? What’s wrong with me? What did I do to provoke him into being emotionally distant? I do this all the time, don’t I? WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?
2. Any Problem Can Be Fixed By Shopping
Just as your average hamster can be lulled into relaxation with a food pellet and a few laps on a tiny wheel, Chick Flicks imagine that women’s emotions are so puddle-shallow that a quick montage of dresses and shoes can fix everything. Break up? Big fight? Cancer diagnosis? Who’s up for the Galleria?
3. Any Problem That Can’t Be Fixed By Shopping, Can Be Fixed With a Make-Over
Your husband/boyfriend/stalkee is being mean? Well, it’s because you haven’t done your hair in forever! And what is that shade of eye shadow called, “Dump Me Now”? Ugh, girl. You need to spend obscene amounts of money on make-up you’ll never wear and a hairstyle that’ll become too hard to maintain hours after you leave the salon. And make sure to do so to an irritating Top 40 song.
4. If a Guy’s a Jerk, it’s Because Your Life is a Mess
Face it, girls, Chick Flicks have hit the bull’s eye when it comes to the key to holding onto a man. If some dude cheats on you, you have only one recourse: Go through your house and throw away EVERYTHING. Magazines, books, clothing, potential vices…scrub your life clean so that you won’t be such a cheat target anymore. Seriously, you don’t know this? Guys cheat because you smoke, eat cookies, and read Cosmo. Duh.
5. Guys are So Much More Important Than Friends, Jobs, or Family
He CALLED! Time to shove everything you’ve worked so hard to attain, every close friend who’s stood by you since high school, and all those family members who know you better than anyone aside and devote everything to stalking the one guy who deigns to acknowledge your existence. This is it. THIS COULD BE THE ONE!
6. Wait, You’re Over 30? Why Aren’t You Dead Yet?
Seriously.
7. No Guy Is Worth the Heartache…if He’s Not Rich
If a guy can afford to buy you a penthouse apartment with a 1,000-square-foot shoe closet, you are totally justified in sticking with him, even if he’s been a non-committal douche who smears your emotions on his shoe heel like dog shit and strings you along for 10 years. Sure, he’s made you spend the best years of your life in the grips of a needy, clingy, destructive shame cycle…BUT LOOK AT THAT CLOSET! Sorry, were we talking?
Ashley’s best friend Christi and her whimsical comedy team have a pretty cool show called The Really Cool Show. It looks like their third season is in the works. In this episode, Christi masks her pain with laughter after her threesome sex tape is leaked to the internet, stirring memories of her gang rape. Intriguing and captivating performances by all.
Who needs economists? With an insight that’s downright uncanny, designers worked both sides of the crash of 1929, turning out glittery flapper frocks (Alberta Ferretti, Aquilano.Rimondi) and faded sack dresses (Burberry, Bottega Veneta) in equal measure. On the one hand, Jil Sander’s Raf Simons fringed not just dresses but suits, too; on the other, Marc Jacobs found himself at home on the prairie.
This is the trend I’m most excited about this Spring. Why? Oh, because it’s already in my closet. My mother says I look like a bag lady. I always called it “Homeless Chic.” Style.com just published it before I did. ; )
There are various definitions of what a nation or a country means. The interesting question for us is this: What functions of a nation can be fulfilled by a virtual, online nation and what functions can not.
There are various benefits one receives by being the member of a nation, those that the government is usually providing – such as protection from criminals, an internationally recognized passport that enables you to travel, the management of the infrastructure of the nation, etc. etc, just to name a possible few. The list is endless and varies from “real” country to “real” country.
Also, there is the cultural aspect of being a member of a nation with all its implications.
Here I would like to start a conversation on this topic, with the intention of trying to define what a virtual nation such as Tituia could achieve and what is out of scope by definition.
So my question to you is this:
What do you expect from your country?
This is a very innovative way to research such a concept. I definitely suggest checking the site out, especially if you have an interest in politics, government or anthropology.
Of course, this can only go so far- The Republic of Titulia has no way of enforcing laws or propositions in it’s citizens, since it is an online nation with no physical territory. But look beyond that and this is a very exciting venture to be a part of. A study of a nation with no evil secrets or history… yet. : ) Maybe the person who created The Republic of Titulia set out to find such a nation and had no such luck. I dare you to try… or create your own.
