oh naughty girls - Etiquette guide offers sleaze tips for posh girls...
'LONDON (Reuters) - For hundreds of years, Debrett's has guided Britain's aristocracy through the niceties of meeting royalty, going to the races or eating soup in the correct way.

Now the publishers of the bible of blue-blooded behavior are straying into previously unmentionable areas of the life of a modern girl -- with a new book offering guidance on adultery, toplessness and celebrity gossip.

The first edition of Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage -- known in Britain as the "toff's bible" was published in 1769, and its tome on manners, Debrett's Correct Form, has guided high society for decades.

But according to its editor, Jo Aitchison, the new book "Etiquette for Girls" is a sign that the traditional arbiters of civility are catching up with the times.

"It's a nod to the modern day," she told Reuters. "We're pulling Debrett's out of Victorian times and trying to make it relevant to today." The book's advice ranges from how to conduct a sleaze-free office fling or a disease-free one night stand, to how to smoke at social occasions and what to do when you meet a celebrity.

"Avoid dark-alley gropery and unladylike fumbling in the back of a cab," :spray: the guide says on the subject of one night stands. "Discuss the necessaries to avoid planting any love children or disease, and you're away."'

2. It's about time etiquette books started discussing stuff people really
care about.

Ugh...I feel dirty now. The bad kind though. The "I interacted with a crazy woman in GD" kind of dirty.

ignore list that I had wiped clean a couple months ago.

8. She's the lone person on my ignore list.
As for the PBR, I actually think it's not bad for a cheap beer. I may drink expensive tequila, but it's just as likely that I'll have a 12-pack of PBR in the fridge, too. I don't trust whatever that Snappy Tom is. Just like I know never to trust Mad Cock.

14. Honestly, I don't understand why.
I mean, if no one sees you groping in a dark-alley, can it really be bad etiquette?

I wonder if I'll learn anything new by reading an etiquette guide that offers sleaze tips for :shrug: posh girls.
Guess I'll have to work on becoming posh first.

28. I wrote a song for you:
Haruka,
When you come into a room it's like a nuke-aaaaah
You're the bomb
As the kiddies say, and you do it with aplomb
You're the most
Where's my toast?
We'll have 'splosions on the East Coast!!

*bows* :D
