A few links sent in by Bitchery readers for your fun and amusement. We’re not just romance, we’re a random news aggregate too!
In the inverse of, “No, this time I’m telling the truth!” we have James Frey’s new book deal, filed under, “No, this time I am really making ALL of it up! I’m REALLY lying this time!” Bitchery reader DesertWillow sent me a link to this Yahoo:News story about the buzz surrounding Frey’s new deal with HarperCollins: “Bright Shiny Morning,” [will be] a “kaleidoscopic” portrait of modern Los Angeles. His first deal was seven figures, according to the article. Holy Cow.
And, should you be looking for a costume to promote your new book or just collect a crapload of free mini candybars next month, Lucinda Betts is here to help you out. They’re not Storm Troopers - they’re FemTroopers! Seems women have stormed the gender barrier of trooper land, but honestly? Those outfits look a little chafe-y to me.
I have to just point out that those uniforms have a serious safety design flaw.
She doesn’t look any different from the rest of them, but may I point out that the Tower of London now has a female Beefeater? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20573184/
Damn...I just spent $6000 for breast augmentation and I could have just bought one of those Fem-trooper breast plates!
oh funny--my spaminator word: increase22
“They’re not Storm Troopers - they’re FemTroopers!”
Um, Fembots? ;-)

Personally, I’m glad women Star Wars fans no longer have to wear cinnamon buns on the side of our heads or be chained in Jabba’s dungeon to dress in true Star Wars fashion. Of course, the down side is that we have to work for the dark side!
Or maybe that isn’t so bad...hehehe

There is no god.
They’re not Storm Troopers - they’re FemTroopers!
And unclear on the concept of just what a Stormtrooper is (hello, can we all say clone together?).
Now I know what to be for Halloween!
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice? I don’t fucking think so, weasel-boy.
Those stormtrooper costumes might chafe, but my geeky husband tells me if I put up with the pain he’ll make me feel better.
Only
In
America.
If they make a femtrooper suit in a 22W 40DD I amd SO there.
Trust me, it WILL terrify the rebels right off the battlefield.
Teh Suxx0r armor. I can hear the Jedi shouting, Aim for her pierced navel! Bah!
A website that reviews romance novels from a couple of smart bitches who will always give it to you straight. No bullshit. No gushing--unless the author really deserves it.
Interesting take on Twilight, considering how much of it is Meyer’s constant exhortations to NOT HAVE SEX, OMG. The New York Times review I read today picked up on that and claimed it made Edward boring. But you can’t have…

If you can’t find it on YouTube, google Stephen Colbert and you should be able to retrieve it one way or the other. I watched this last week and nearly died laughing. I love this man.
It tells me the video is no longer available.
(Although someone else should check because it could be just not available in Korea. It’s happened before).
I think I may have to get a pair - the magical words “custom made” are what got me. I bought mittens like this once...and the half gloves completely covered my pinkie and left at most my nail exposed on…
From Fun Gift Ideas
I’m with Leah. There are some people you canNOT critique. If your friend is gonna get butthurt/insulted, or hate you, or ignore you, do not waste your time. The letter writer’s friend sounds like one of ‘em.
Examples…
