Wow! Apparently I need to ask you all to write blogs for me more often. I got such an overwhelming and thought-provoking response to my query for the essential things that every modern woman needs (from both women and men – thanks, Joe Roth!) that what was going to be a top 10 list could have easily been a top 50 list. I did some editing, did some tweaking, and now, without further adieu, present to you (in no particular order) the Top 40 Essentials Every Twenty-Something Woman Should Have:
1. At least two close friends nearby.
2. Vibrator (Like I even need to explain this one.)
3. An education
4. A pair of fuck-me boots
5. The Pill
6. A place of your own/the experience of living on your own
7. One shirt that makes your tits look great, and one pair of pants/shorts that make your ass look great
8. A sassy gay friend
9. The ability to look at yourself in the mirror, and be happy with what you see
10. A flask (Because whiskey ain’t cheap, yo.)
11. A purse that you don’t care how dirty and destroyed it gets (For crazy bar nights)
12. One friend who will always tell you the truth
