Being Bad has never felt so Good

Only 7 more sleeps until the newest Dixie Chicks CD is released. I am already in line to grab a copy :-) I'm guessing that these Chicks know how to throw a good party! They are three gals who refuse to take crap from anyone and are ready to stand up for what they believe. The first single (which has played on my computer many, many times since this Grrrl pointed it out) is an anthem to standing firm when your beliefs are challenged and not saying sorry for having an opinion.

In honor of the imminent release, here's a couple of fun excerpts from The Bad Girl's Guide home page and let your inner bad girl shine.

Things to do with....Self-Help Books:
  • Throw an Accept Yourself Party and invite all your equally dysfunctional pals over for mojitos and a self-help bonfire.
  • Drill holes through hardcovers, stick them on the ends of a broomstick, soak in cold water, and then do arm curls and bench presses.
  • Tear pages into strips to make Bad Girl pom-poms.
  • Press those gorgeous "wildflowers" that you find in people's gardens.
  • Keep a copy or two on your night stand to throw at unwanted intruders.

Things to do with....Duct Tape:

  • Repair a cracked engine hose.
  • Hog-tie a misbehaving hitchhiker.
  • Temporarily conceal license plate numbers.
  • Two words: Strapless Bra.

I have no problem with the Dixie Chicks expressing an opinion. My problem is with them whining about the results of expressing said opinion. Anything you do in the public sphere will have consequences, and you had better be prepared to live with them...
