Claire LaZebnikSome rules are good. For example, off the top of my head, let's say a stand-up comedian or a talk show host wearing a nice suit - as a ponderer, I grew up like, "Why don't they just go up there in their army jacket?

It's just nice to feel supported in that way, and it's what my live shows are about - just making women feel stronger, and better, and celebrating.

That became, apparently, one of his weapons against Shawn when he - in the corporate skirmishes that went on. It was a bad mistake on my part.

When you have accepted the negatives you can then focus on the positives, like, I have nice hair, nice eyes, great cheekbones.
