This book explores these topics with intellectual essays like "I'm Moving to the Woods to Live in a Nightmare Shack" and "Please Try Our Irresponsibly Expensive Make-up Stick." It also features some incredibly important guides like, "How to Tell if Your Underwear is Expensive Enough" and "Do You Want a Snack or Are You Just Horny?"
