I love those deals you get from Amazon's used books! They help out my pocketbook, but don't help the author keep up with the superstars...

That would be because society is still fundamentally sexist. We don't admit it as such, but collective behaviors like these betray the truth. Visiting from Michele's. As always, you've provoked excellent thought.

Um, not all of them. There are some that are not so good looking, but they are good atheletes and that's what pays the bills! LOL Thanks for stopping by today.

I am not sure that it is really different for males. What ugly males have lucrative marketing deals?
