And basically, they are protected by not being allowed to be attractive.

And I always thought St. Paul was bad...

Maybe they can make lip covers now.

My husband hates lips gloss but I love to wear it! Maybe I need savage love advice to kick my lip gloss addiction.

straight guys, help me out here.

Gives new meaning to "read my lips." Or did I miss something?

As for the rubber heeled shoes, I'm hoping it, like the lack of flashy makeup, is just one more step towards making minorities totally invisible, neither seen nor heard! Good trick, eh?

There's a McDonald's and a market where women in shorts and t-shirts sell tasty grilled chicken. I learned how to make curried chicken from a guy in his house.

Just 2 hours away by bus and boat are the Perhentian Islands, where you'll find incredible snorkeling, a perpetual $8 BBQ fish dinner (warning: service is slow), and topless sunbathing Europeans.

Perhaps we should adopt a similar legal standard here, creating harsh laws for adultry and homosexuality that apply only to Christian fundamentalists. Let the youth pastors suffer the punishments they've longed for!

Oh wait, walking by myself is asking for it ... better stay home.
