Another International Women's Day has Come and Gone



In honor of the occasion I had a few of the girls over. We read selections from Eve Ensler's (author of The vagina Monologues) latest and watched The View and then Oprah. I served various salads, a passion fruit wine cooler, triple fudge decadence cheesecake, and later we discussed empowerment, the vagina, Oprah and the empowerment of Oprah's vagina. (you go girl!!).
It occurred to me that Spring Break coincides annually with Intn'l Women's Day and that this fortuitous confluence of events says much about the advances women have made over the decades. Indeed, Spring Break as observed in North America by the youth of today affords young coeds with a unique yearly opportunity to strut their stuff and assert their own sexuality in ways that their predecessors in the women's movement could hardly have dreamed of. This is a cause that is well worth it and one that The Blob has championed since the very inception of the site.
Throughout the month of March young people will be streaming south to the resort citites of Florida, Mexico, and the Caribbean. For many this will be a rite of passage and perhaps the most important step on that tortuous road to adulthood. Here at The Blob, and for a limited time only, I'll be making available a fabulous new product line from Grrrlz Inc. aimed specifically at young women embarking on this voyage. For many this will provide just the self-esteem boost needed to get right into the action:
''FunBaggz'' protective aircushion will take the edge off of a drunken fall from a hotel balcony (caution: max. 3 floors, will not work on fat chicks). This form fitting and discreet undergarment lends just the right touch of added security to a night of raucous binge drinking.
"The SafeKini" is a must have. You've spent hundreds of dollars on the sexiest, skimpiest swimwear only to have it ruined after a week of Spring Break festivities. The SafeKini is resistant to oil, jello, dessert toppings, vomit,and most puddings and it's velcro fastening system will help maintain the integrity of the fabric during even the most spirited bout of substance wrestling. You'll be a big hit with the guys in a Safekini!!!
"L'il T's" pre-moistened T shirt (pictured below) is another indispensable item that just screams Girl Power. This is not your Mother's wet T shirt!!
So there you have it....our public service outreach program to 19-23 year old coeds continues. Remember, here at The Blob.... we care!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to technical difficulties, Blob will be unavailable to its loyal readership of seven for an indeterminate period of time...
Faithful Followers; Please entertain yourselves in more traditionl ways for the interim. Read a book , watch television, maybe take in a movie or cuddle a loved one while fully clothed, just to play it safe. We dont want any pregnancy occuring as a result of this temporary blackout. history buffs can all remember the baby boom in the fall of 73' after that power outage 9 months earlier!!

I'm arriving in montreal tomorrow to see if I can be of any assistance to Blob's artistic director,CEO and financial advisor.
Yours in faith, Phyllis
