Dear Cosmo Magazine Editor,



Attached please find a copy of a self-assessment quiz I constructed for inclusion in the upcoming April edition of your magazine. This is my 23rd attempt and probably my last. Especially if you continue to ignore my emails.


Best,

1) You have a date tonight with your cutie crush, Ethan from Accounting (that shaggy brown mane, those dimples!), and you’ve paired your favorite Manolo pumps with a brand-new Juicy Couture skirt (you know“”the one that shows off just the riiiiight amount of leg). You look:



A) Fabulous! Looks like that skirt just got you a one-way ticket to Makeoutsville“”population, 2!

C) Like a two-bit whore.

D) Like my mom, telling me to find a job.




2) If you were a message t-shirt, you would read:

A) “Laundry instructions: Separate colors, cold-water rinse, FABULOUS MACHINE ONLY.”

B) “I’m Like 10,000 Spoons, When All You Need is a Knife” (you luuuv a good ironic tee)

C) “I slept with 13 dirty Mexicans on Spring Break and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. God I am such a slut.”
