While a decent brunette or any lady-like princess would never tell too many drunken tales of swallowing countless Jaeger bombs or the tales of narrowly escaping the flea-bags that paid for them, I'd like to hand it to a simple concept that can turn evenings into pleasant thoughts and events. Oh, don't yawn yet. If more individuals attempted to limit their intake of coffee, booze, and/or other bad habits, then we might live in a more content and peaceful world (or we might all implode-hmmm...). Okay, I'll get to the point.
First there is Fat Tuesday, in which red bulls and vodka are pitched into martini glasses and women walk around wearing next to nothing or in other parts of the country it means drinks are served with Mardi Gras beads, take it as you like but Fat Tuesday has its deep spiritual roots in Christianity. Up next to bat, Ash Wednesday, Lent, purge yourself of sin for 40 days and nights. Not that reporters stick around the French quarter or take their recorders to T.G.I.F. to interview those drinking Hurricanes at midnight on Lent. The ancient tradition of fasting and sacrifice has never been an exciting subject for most. Yet, check this Brunette out, who in the midst of the race to the end.
Detox the mind, body, and soul. Let the chemicals and the substances that typically rule your life kick to the wayside. In my own quest for purification, I've made my journey a battle to not cuss and drink. 40 days and nights seems an eternity when you get cut off on the 405 freeway. During the first week, I stopped drinking. Not that I drink too much as it is, but since I was cut off from the joy of toxins, I found that I need something bad. What ever could that be? It turned out that despite all my kickboxing, yoga classes, and jaunts to the health club, I actually smoked a total of 5 cigarettes in the first week of Lent. I never smoke. So, I have added the additional item to my list: Smoking. No cheating, ladies and gentleman!
Detox doesn't have to work on a Christian calendar as any trip to the bookstore will point out. The health fads and our culture of beauty and perfection does indeed promote the concept of an annual detox. In this girl's opinion, March is that month between the forgotten New Year's resolutions and the desire to look good in a bathing suit for summer. Those that will be wearing the two piece suit and that will look hot on the sand won't be jumping to the gym at the last minute in order to get in shape. March is the time to rid yourself of built-up toxins and purify yourself. The March Book List is a compilation of worthy titles that can lead you on the path of healthy detoxification. One movie graces the list by genius Todd Haynes that will prevent you from going to the detox extreme.
Take care of your bodies and most likely you'll have some lovely little hottie wanting to take care of you (no promises if you ask the hot boy on the beach to rub suntan lotion on your back, that he will or that he is even straight). The March Book List Please:

Plot Summary
Genres: Thriller, Drama
Tagline: In the 21st century nobody will be...Safe.
Plot Synopsis: Safe has been described as a "horror movie of the soul", a description that director Todd Haynes relishes. California housewife Carol White seems to have it all in life: a wealthy husband and a beautiful house. The only thing she lacks is a strong personality: Carol seems timid and empty during all of her interactions with the world around her. At the beginning of the film, one would consider her to be more safe in life than just about anyone. That doesn't turn out to be the case. Starting with headaches and leading to a grand mal seizure, Carol becomes more and more sick, claiming that she's become sensitive to the common toxins in today's world: exhaust, fumes, aerosol spray. She pulls back from the sexual advances of her husband, and spends her nights alone by the TV, or wandering around the outside of her well-protected home like an animal in a cage. Her physician examines her, and can find nothing wrong. An allergist finds that she has an allergic reaction to milk, but explains that there is no treatment for that sort of allergic reaction. She sees a psychiatrist, who does nothing but make her nervous. In the hospital, Carol sees an infomercial for Wrenwood, a new-age retreat for those who are "environmentally ill", and leaves her husband and stepson to try and find salvation at this retreat: headed by a phony, grandstanding "sensitive individual" named Peter Dunning.
BC Remarks: I love things in a box!
