Tory Burch Becomes A Billionaire

Fashion designer Tory Burch is everywhere. Her patterns, simplicity, preppiness mixed with bohemian styles and ballet flats take up house in the closets of privileged girls everywhere.

Her success is huge and should be recognized, especially since her line launched a few short years ago, in 2004, from her own home’s kitchen. It has just been announced that Tory Burch is set to make the 2013 Forbes World’s Billionaires list in March.

Tory Burch, who is just 46 years old, is now the second youngest self-made female billionaire in America. The success is due, mainly in part, to her best-known product, the Reva ballet flats.

It’s Your P*ssy, You Can Do What You Want With It

I, like many curious teenage girls, used to flip mischievously through the pages of Cosmo, exhilarated, as if it were a build up to the centerfold of Playboy (which, incidentally, I also flipped through). I followed the bold headlines to the articles lined with numbers on how to please your man, how to change your [...]
