Who's the bitch now?

women_4.jpg The Women (1939)"There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in high society, outside of a kennel."

I've been told on too many occasions and in too many variations, "You're so nice, you couldn't be a bitch if you tried." I usually smile or shrug, but deep down, I take it as the insult it probably sometimes is. And I sometimes think that maybe I should "try" a little harder...I actually do have a quite vocal inner bitch and she's got multiple personality disorder. Depending on the situation, she is:

  • Dorothy Parker

  • Paloma - the alpha bitch

  • Peaches

  • Any big-haired, loud-mouthed Jersey girl

  • Victoria Stilwell

  • One or more of The Donnas

  • Dianne Feinstein

  • Paquita la del barrio - ¿Me estás oyendo, inútil?

  • My mom, whose particular brand of bitchiness could be so subtle, but always didactic

  • Nora - I conjure up her middle finger rising to my defense as it has so many times behind the heads of my offenders

  • Mike, who can make the bitchiest of comments by merely lowering his chin and raising one eyebrow


This list will be updated. By me. Comments not considered.
