I am kinda a fashion guru, a style ninja, if you will so if there is a book on fashion to be had I have it.  That statement is a complete fabrication, and I have no idea why I have this book.  It was probably on sale, and I liked the photographs of women at some point.

Flipping through it now, I am horrified by a picture of a model sticking her head in an oven and a woman, laying on the outskirts of a city, with her throat slit multiple times.  I hate shit like that.  T took it and will be using it for psychology of women.  At least some good will come out of it, I suppose.

This book is pretty hilarious.  When I was growing up, my own mother was collecting snippets from various old magazines and books to make something very similar to this about the treatment of women.  You would not believe some of the stuff she uncovered!

In this book, there are ads encouraging women to wash their nipples with boric acid before nursing, to use laxatives with the whole family to give them more energy, and to keep their baby's bowels warm.  It is worth a looksee.
