Somehow I missed this article last fall, but I happened upon it recently. Written back in October by Nora Zelevansky at Salon, it refers to the new trend in divorces--how publicly they are announced, even celebrated. She mentions how couples often seem so supportive of one another that, "All the saccharine sentiments, however well intentioned, make one yearn for a few good ole exclamations of 'bastard' and 'bitch.'"I do think this is what happens, though it used to happen a bit more privately! But if you're going to celebrate, why not go all the way? Divorce parties definitely have gotten more popular recently, and if you need a favor to share, there's always Dirty Bastard. I have gotten more comments about this lip balm than any other product I have. People just laugh when they see it, and as author Jill Connor Browne says, "The parts in life that aren't funny are the parts we need to laugh at most." I couldn't agree more!
