Instead of watching election coverage, I am here, slogging away in my Victoria's Secret Pink jammiez (might I add that Bethenny Frenkel owns the exact pair, that she wore all the time while pregnant, womp) for all your reading pleasure.

We are all a bit superficial. But if your date is a terrible dresser -- looking like he or she ripped off a hobo or shopped exclusively at Modell's spandex section -- it's not the end of the world.
