At the risk of my blog beginning to resemble the NY Times Obituary column, I feel compelled to pay tribute to David Rakoff and Helen Gurley Brown, both of whom shined a spotlights on Sex - Sex and the Single Girl and Sex and the Single Gay Guy.
I will truly miss hearing David's very droll voice on Saturday mornings on This American Life. His observations and word-smithing were unparalleled and never failed to make me LOL. His recently aired story that combined the dilemma of Kafka's Gregor Samsa changing into a cock roach in the Metamophosis with medical advise from Dr. Seuss was nothing short of brilliant.
You can listen to him here: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/blog/2012/08/our-friend-david-rakoff
And where would we single girls be without Helen Gurley Brown? Cosmo taught me everything! When she died she was 90 and still working - and workin' "it." She will always be an inspiration!
