Hexy guest blogging is GO!
Hello, Feministe readers! I’m hexy, of Hexpletive.com. I’ll be one of your guest bloggers for the next two weeks. And I absolutely despise writing introductions.

I have a dirty, dirty confession to make. I have a sick love of reality TV shows. Specifically: Project Runway, So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, Hells Kitchen, and Top Chef. I know I shouldn’t support the Fox shows, but it is such a guilty pleasure. Yup…I even pay [...]
