Normally I wouldn’t report on paparazzi goings-on, but this Margaret Cho piece is too funny not to post.
In case you’re unaware, some photos (that I refuse to link to) began circulating of Britney’s “discoloured” underpants and as a result there was a whole lot of “I guess she’s not pregnant” and “ewww” as a response. But the best response? How about “Let She Who Is Without Period Stains Throw The First Tampon:”
I am the worst when it comes to period stains. That is why I never move because my mattress is so so so so stained that whenever I change the sheets it just looks like a murder scene. I’m serious. Somebody should put crime scene ‘do not cross’ tape up. It’s awful! I can’t understand any woman who hasn’t had some kind of hot menses mess. Those women are weird and probably perfect, and always get a pap smear every six months, and have never had a weight problem or worried about sitting on a white couch - and they are no friends of mine!
Did I mention I love Margaret Cho? Check out this piece on Cho in a back issue of Shameless Magazine.

Reading what Cho has to say made me feel relieved. Sometimes when the world takes a particularly gruesome turn (I think we need to admit that circulating photos of a woman's menstruation is a new low) it's nice to read that we're not completely batty or alone when we feel horrified.
What Cho says after the quote SMF posted is pretty great too - both funny and a really fantastic way of thinking about periodating:
"Every month my body completely purges everything it has been holding onto. My periods are heavy, long, arduous – old furniture and books and records come out. Gold coins and anchors and treasures and lace and shoes. It’s like a big clearance sale. Everything must go!"
