The older I get, the less I care about the sociological implications of my shoe fetish . . . [or] how much "anti-stress" articles stress me out . . . or the fact that sometimes meditation makes me angrier!" -Teresa Roberts Logan * Teresa Roberts Logan, cartoonist and nationally touring standup comic, brings the funny back to being female after opening for Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen DeGeneres, Drew Carey, and more. For each of the 3.1 billion females in this world, there will come a time when gravity is no longer a friend. Thankfully, as comedian and author Teresa Roberts Logan points out, with this realization-and substantive amounts of chocolate and caffeine-also comes the freedom to care less about the quirky neuroses and habitual hang-ups that riddle our feminine existence. Logan presents pithy insights into the female psyche-each accompanied by a full-color illustration humorously depicting exactly those things we care less about. From snotty waiters and memory loss to trying to be one of those thong-butt babes.

She claims her therapist is nuttier than she is so she refuses to listen to him, but continues to pay him.
