What Men Really Think About You in the Club

Men will consider sleeping with the trashy looking girl, but will never bring her home to mama.

Stripping: The Smart Gal's Path to Success

Man, I should’ve been a stripper. Diablo Cody, the Oscar-winning Juno screenwriter, popped into the news the other day after having given birth to a healthy baby boy.  Along with attaining gobs of wealth, publishing success and Hollywood kudos, the former stripper is also happily married now with child.
