    I refuse to hire anyone who doesn't know the recipe for a Gimlet. It's GIN, gentle reader. GIN. GIN. GIN. If you say "Vodka" you will be removed by HR.

    @smithhimself: Gimlet = gin + Rose's lime juice. Barkeeps who make vodka gimlets have never read Raymond Chandler, and as such, are worthless in my view.

    I don't think the Twilight condition is unreasonable. I won't hire anyone who hasn't seen The Warriors. Can you dig it?

    Erm, what is our society saying when the god-awful Twilight is the barometer for which usefulness in life is measured? I've seen Transformers 2: The Rise of Shit Michael Bay Creates To Call Us Suckers and I don't see that stopping the end of days.

    @Spirit Fingers: What's worse is that Mrs. Teen Vogue editor appears unaware that "Twilight" was first a book. You know, like, a thingie with words printed on paper? Just like her magazine? If you've read it but have not seen the movie based on it, you still can't work at Teen Vogue.

    @snugbug: Then I assume that would lend her to believe a J.K.Rowling is a butterscotch candy...like a Werthers, and Harry Potter was created by striped, be-scarfed fashionistas who have a penchant for spectacles and Alan Rickman impersonations.

    My absolutely favorite paragraph:

    "It does help to have connections, as Ms. Brecher is the daughter of The Wall Street Journal wine columnists Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher; and Hope Brimelow, another intern, met Teen Vogue editors in Paris while her mother, a producer on "60 Minutes," was filming a profile of Anna Wintour. But Ms. Astley said that connections are not required at a publication that employs as many as 40 interns at a time."

    So in other words, even though everyone who gets a job there actually has connections, theoretically it's not necessary...

    Inbreeding is also what killed the Romanov dynasty. Hopefully that will also happen here.

    @naugahydeinplainsight:

    Even if a few escaped, this would explain the dearth of modern Romanov seed:

    "On August 28, 2009, a Swedish public news outlet reported that Romanov family jewelry, found in 2008 in the archives of the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, was returned. The jewelry was allegedly turned over to the Swedish embassy in St. Petersburg in November 1918 by Duchess Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin to keep it safe. The jewelry's worth was estimated to 20 million SEK."

    I've always found men who simply bathe regularly and wear clean clothing are more appealing than men of the cologne-drenched variety. Just an observation.

    If pheromones is the key to banging hot chicks then why not just slap on some balls-sweat aftershave? THAT'S a New York Times expose I'd love to read. Put on the blindfolds, ladies, it's time to test this theory.

    Smell. Sex.

    Normally I would have no thoughts on this matter, but a few months ago I attended a baby shower for a work friend. The hostess was pregnant, of course, and had invited three other pregnant friends from her Lamaze class.

    Smithhimself is definitely not a GQ model and I have a list of highly annoying habits (such as referring to myself in the third person). But that afternoon, I was catnip to the unattached women at the party.

    What smell attracts women? The smell of pregnant women in the area...

    @smithhimself: When you are pregnant your sense of smell is doglike in its intensity (in ten cities!). The ladies were getting a good whiff of eau de smithhim and digging it.

    Darling, *ahem*, I'm not in that way as you know the shop is closed, but further research might be needed...
