"I'm a bigot, but it's okay, because I'm a bigot for the left."
"It's not where you're from, it's where you're at."

Amanda Congdon. Nigella Lawson. Good spellers. Someone that use the right relative pronoun. Women who can shuck oysters and wrench. People who read the New York Times but don't believe everything in it. Women who are fit, but don't know it. People who don't like (too much) cream and peas in their carbonara. Anyone who knows the difference between an em dash, en dash, and hyphen. Those in touch with their inner deity but who don't have a god complex. She who comes in colors. People who really are as cool as their lists would have you believe. Someone to sip Cristal Krug and take high tea with. Transcendence.
