Farewell and good luck to a fantastic role model.

April 8th, 2009

I’m watching Helen Clark giving her valedictory statement to Parliament right now and shedding a couple of quiet tears. It was a huge deal to have her as our first elected female prime minister, and have her be such a staunch feminist and believer in human rights. Luckily our loss is the world’s gain now she’s off to the UN.

If my room wasn’t so messy, I would be wearing this badge right now (and secretly to work every day). You can buy these badges at Madame Fancy Pants, I do believe.

Remember how Torrid had gold Obama necklaces, and silver McCain ones? They were totally right. But if you need to stock up on a Halloween costume. how about this Palin Posse tshirt? It’s 75% off! Or maybe you need some Boob Lube by SaveĀ The Ta-TasĀ to go with your Man Junk? Apparently it’s for breast examinations, and 20% of profits go to Breast Cancer Research, but mostly I just love the name.

Oh yeah, and clearence is currently 50% at Torrid, but with the NZ$ at .59 of the US$, I’d be very very careful if I were you.

Oh and also, if you’re a New Zealander, please vote tomorrow. And please vote for a party that you think will do good things for women. The Hand Mirror has done an excellent job of asking candidates questions about issues that concern women, and they make for some important reading before you make your decision.

As a fat chick who likes to wear nice clothes suitable for her age that make her feel sexy instead of dressing like a frumpy grandma, I am all about ordering from Torrid, especially when they’re having a 50% off clearance sale as they are right now (I got a pair of velour track pants (I know, I am so OC housewife, but they look coooomfy), a smocked pink hoodie, a pair of flats with dangling skulls, a short-sleeved jacket, a pair of awesome lime green panties and the cutest denim halterneck dress ever for just $80 US + $43 for shipping), but another reason why I’m giving them mad love today is because I saw that they’re selling Team Barack and Team McCain necklaces. Why do I like it so much? Because anti-women’s-rights old McCain comes in second-place silver, while Barack gets the gold. Huzzah!
