  • Wish I Looked That Scary


    Well, devil temptress, thy name is Hanna, but I am standing my ground on Cindy McCain; well-exfoliated, yes, but love the upsweep. As for the color red, maybe it's on my mind because I recently had my once-a-decade consult with my friendly neighborhood (purple-haired, feminist) astrologer, whose VW is wearing one of my all-time favorite bumper stickers: "Isis, Isis, Rah, Rah, Rah!'' (The last time I went, in 1995, she correctly predicted what day I was going to conceive twins, so until lately I'd been scared to go back.) And you know what wisdom she had for me this time? "What are you, in the witness relocation program?'' she wanted to know. "You should wear more red.''
