Bossy McBossypants

"...by the time i got to the interview I was sweating my roommate's BO out of the suit.  The stench of every drink and every cigarette she'd had the last time she wore it filled the high-end office in which I interviewed.  Between the suit, its booze cloud, and my thick virgin eyebrows, I was deemed unfit to answer phones in plain view.  I was turning out to be college educated and unemployable in even the most basic way" (69).

Teaser Tuesday...Gettin' Bossy

This week's teaser comes from a book that I've been wanting to read since it first came out, Tina Fey's Bossypants .  There are multiple reasons for this desire to read her book:  she's hilarious...and I really like the cover ;) "The stylists like to figure out a few looks before hair and makeup begins, so you will try on twenty or thirty things.  Somebody will put up a makeshift wall by holding a full-length mirror next to an open loft window, and you will strip down naked.  You must not look in the mirror at your doughy legs and flat feet, for today is about dreams and illusions, and unfiltered natural light is the enemy of dreams" (148). Oh my!  How embarrassing!  This sounds like such a funny read.
