I'd hail a pink taxi!

I love Latin America. I love the adventure.  But, I don't love skeevy taxi drivers that I have often encountered there.  Well a Mexican entrepeneur has solved that problem--she has started a fleet of taxis that are driven by women and that only picks up women! I love it.  Although women's rights advocates (presumeably Anglo) call this a bandaid that doesn't address core social problems, I think (having being a gringa travelling alone in the region) this is a fabulous idea that will hopefully spread.  Read for yourself :)

Plus....aren't these taxis way cuter than that beat up one with the dents and duck tape...

Hey, it's a recession!

So for anyone who knows me, knows that I'm frugal...okay I'm just cheap.  So imagine my happiness to discover Wise Bread, a blog who's tag line is living large on a small budget.  I dig it, I mean I live in DC a city for the grown and sexy, but I am not grown enough for shelling out the cash necessary to keep it moving in this city. 

Also, thanks to Wise Bread I got a free pair of Pink undies from Victoria's Secret and a 12-oz beverage at 7-11.  I also got some advice from the site regarding what it would take to make Poplitics a blog of household recognition a la Perez Hilton.

Bottom line: Check out Wise Bread for free stuff, funny stuff, and overall utility.

Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips....

The new Hellen Keller statue was debuted today at the Capitol! What do you think?
