It's....interesting, to say the least.

I'd bid for Katha Pollitt, but it's too fucking scary.
I want Katha Pollitt to edit my dissertation!
I think someone told me that she has an MA in my field, too (classics). And my thesis is about gender and agency -- so really I think it was meant to be. Too bad I'm broke.
And her editing is limited to five pages.
George Micheals' old band is having an auction? Who knew they were still together?
(Hey, someone had to go there...)

Hey, don't forget you can also win an original Mikhaela cartoon!
