Does anyone else find the Old Navy Booty Reader concept totally disturbing?
You're supposed to upload a picture of your butt to the Old Navy website, and ON in turn will tell you what cut of jeans you should buy.
Creepy.

Peep toes?
It seems to be a raging debate in the legal blogosphere these days - Is it or isn't it acceptable to wear peep toes?
All I can say is a) this is freakin' pathetic and b) people who frown at peep-toed shoes clearly do not have enough going on in their life to fill their days.
My opinion? I lived in Austin for twelve years. The motto is "Keep Austin Weird" and flip-flops are acceptable at most companies on a Friday, so keep that in mind.
Anyway...WEAR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO WEAR AND WHAT MAKES *YOU* FEEL COMFORTABLE.
If someone judges you for flippin' peep-toes consider it their problem, not yours. If you're competent and have work that stands behind you, people SHOULD NOT be obsessing over your shoes, hair, skirt v. slack, dangle earrings, etc.
If you're of the flip-flop culture (Ana raises hand and waves it wildly) you probably don't want to work in an office where people whisper in the corner over PEEP-TOED shoes. Again, these people need to get a frickin' life. I SO could not and cannot tolerate these types of personalities. I'd rather work at McDonald's even if that is the only other option. SERIOUSLY.
WHY OH WHY are there legal blogs that discuss legal issues and then there are legal blogs that discuss "WOMEN'S ISSUES" the bulk of which seem to revolve around shoes, attire, children, stay-at-home dads, etc? Really, WTF? Stop being a victim and wear what you want to wear! Grab equality by the balls and own it...and ladies, stop nit-picking on other women. I mean, do guys even notice this stuff? Does a dude even know what a peep-toe is?!?!?
FULL DISCLOSURE: I work in both a male-dominated company and industry, and I wore the below peep-toe shoes (with accompanying plastic flower!) to work today.... I got tons of compliments and most of my office thought I was dressed up. Why yes, that is a leopard print and lizard skin sandwiched amongst the other patterns. Don't be afraid ladies.

Notes From Lunch...
You know those little warnings that appear next to the ingredients list on food packages that say things like, Allergy Alert! This product produced in a factory that processes nut items…?
Yeah, well, do you think it’s really necessary to put such wording on a bag of PEANUTS!?!?
It totally reminds me of the tag on the hair dryer that says, Do not operate in the shower or while sleeping.
Oh, America.
