Where's The Best Place For A Tattoo?
If you work a corporate job and want something that can be displayed when appropriate and hidden when necessary, where do you ink? The Fashion Mailbag is here to help.

I'm a woman in my mid-twenties. I have a somewhat serious job where I can't look too edgy, but I have wanted a tattoo for a long time and I'm finally ready to go for it. There's no way it's going on my lower back or other cliché area. So where is the best place to get it?
Side boob. Well, side boob once removed — that area just to the side of your boob. (Like under the armpit, kinda.) Think about it: it's the one area of a woman's body that is probably always concealed at the office, business casual or otherwise. But when you're out on the weekend you can wear the shirt with the big armholes and let it loose!
You're probably thinking this is a terrible idea. But I believe I can present a compelling case for the side boob tat (appropriately, one letter away from, well, you know). So first: what kind of tattoo-getter are you? In analyzing your issue, I have identified two primary kinds of tattoo people, which are easily illustrated with celebrities.
1. The non-committal type. These are the people who seem like they want a tattoo for the sake of having a tattoo, more than for the sake of permanently wearing a symbol that means something to them, or because they want to make tattoos a big part of their look, stylistically. The non-committal tattoo-getters go for innocuous generic shapes in places no one cares about. These are the people who get itsy bitsy tiny stars on, like, the top of their feet or behind their ear — a speck that may as well not be there.
Models often go for this kind of tattoo. I assume it's because they have to be blank slates for the people who hire them, and therefore can't usually get away with a unicorn jumping over a rainbow across their entire backs. Gisele is one example:
She has two tattoos — one on her left wrist of a star, and one on her inner right ankle of a crescent moon and stars.
Victoria's Secret hottie Alessandra Ambrosio also has a very tiny crescent moon-and-star tattoo on her lower back.

A User's Guide To Qat, The Grossest Drug In The World
Who wants to look like an obese chipmunk with a mouth full of green, slobbery cancer? No wonder there's a movement afoot in Yemen to end this rather off-putting practice.
Qat (pronounced "cut"), also known a Khat or Gat, is a plant that's been chewed for centuries in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Penninsula.
(Reuters / MOHAMED AL-SAYAGHI)
Qat is a stimulant with amphetimine-like properties that can induce hyperactivity and euphoria.
(Reuters / Ahmed Jadallah)
Although Qat can lead to dependency and abuse, it is not considered as addictive as alcohol or nicotine.
(Reuters / MOHAMED AL-SAYAGHI)
Qat is best chewed fresh from the farm. Dried Qat isn't nearly as powerful. Vendors will sell Qat with peanuts or bubble gum to make chewing the raw leaves and stems more palatable.

Sarah Silverman admits she watches "The Bachelor," and says it's more offensive than anything she says in her standup:
Jane Fonda says she finally feels "whole" at 74, but had to get divorced to reach that point:

Lyrics
We traded Wallace away
And then let Matt Carroll play
Bismack Biyombo won't say
Why he's not returning my calls
Jordan hasn't paid me in months
Seven wins is the dumps
Stern called me a mump
And he won't return my calls
Charlotte's a hellhole
Gerald plays like Jello
I'd give an arm for Melo

Hey, I hate Tyrus
And Diop's lazy
I'd go anywhere else
So hire me maybe!
I know we suck but
Have you seen my players?
I'd coach in the D-League
Just hire me maybe!
Sacramento, baby
Washington, oh hey guys
You can pay me in pretzels
Please hire me maybe!
I won't lie to you
Nobody seems to want me
But it's Kemba's fault
Just hire me maybe!
