Sexy anything that includes fishnets and/or high socks
8) A locked, bolted and welded shut safe of all pictures taken during what all women refer to as the notorious “rough patch” which occurs generally between 6th-9th grade. The rough patch may or may not include:
- Braces
- Crimped hair
- Pictures edited on Picnik
- Feather extensions
- Lower-than-low jeans
- Uggs
- Purple eye liner
- Juicy sweat pants
- An unhealthy obsession with sexting a.k.a telling a guy how hot he is on a scale of 1-10
- And last- but most importantly -a darkness filled with angst and confusion that can really only be compared with the inside of a Hollister store
9) Tweezers to pluck the occasional hair on your chin that make you question all of your femininity
10) An infinite chalkboard that has one line for every time a woman has used the word “like” in a sentence
11) Tampon
