Obligatory ‘Miley Cyrus Topless’ Post

You’d hate me if I didn’t do this one. Show of hands: Anybody want to see @MileyCyrus topless? Anybody? pic.twitter.com/mxOmYsTI0w No? I didn't think so. — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) September 25, 2013 The piercings, the tattoos, the butch haircut — if you find that look attractive, seek professional psychiatric help immediately.

Complementarity vs. Androgyny

“If Americans can be divorced for ‘incompatibility of temper’ I cannot conceive why they are not all divorced. I have known many happy marriages, but never a compatible one.
