Lesson learned: three things you should never say in the fitting room of a clothing store:

My belly is quite unsubtle now, enough so that neighbours and casual acquaintances at...
5. Bad marketing ideas # 207 Did you see this bit about the NHL coming out with pink hockey jerseys? The NHL, which is more concerned with improving profits than improving hockey, is targeting what they estimate are the 40 per cent of hockey fans who are women. Apparently there are a lot of women out...
