Bea Yourself
In yet another celebrity fragrance launch, Bea Arthur, post-female icon, is introducing her signature scent, Bea-yotch. According to Arthur:
"I'm fascinated by the movement in our culture that has turned sexual taboos on their head. Years ago, the women we celebrate now would have been labeled "whores", "tramps", "sluts", or "harlots". Not you have the Mariah Careys and Paris Hiltons of the world, who women admire. Fine. I'll throw my lot in with them. I'll be your hoochie matron. I'll market incontinence thongs. I hope you're happy. This is as beneath me as it is beneath you."Obviously, Ms. Arthur is "between publicists".
Author's note: Ms. Arthur's comments have been slightly edited. Her actual remarks, in their entirety, are " ". In other words, I made them up. Again. I know it's wrong, and I should be stopped. I am shaming my ancestors.

Miss Kendra,
I've just addded an author's note.
FYI: When I want to pretend I'm a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man, I channel the voice of Bea Arthur. I'm hoping to have my meds adjusted -- soon.
FYI, Part 2 - I'm not pretending about the being a man part.

As soon as I saw that Bea was in the title on my RSS reader I knew Miss Arthur would be involved... She always seemed different since she talked about anal sex on comedy central.
