It’s kind of funny that Liz Gilbert has taken up so much of this blog since none of us liked her or her book very much, but then again, women are always talking most about women they want to trash…so more talk!

Eat, Flirt, Self-Congratulate…

(the dude in the vid above hates Liz Gilbert more than I do!)I did a bit of preliminary research before opening up Eat, Pray, Love. Its author (Elizabeth Gilbert) is a hip thirty-something living in Manhattan. She grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Connecticut and attended NYU before establishing [...]
