Mid-Week Reads: Work, Education, Appearance

Appearance

Ten rules for fat girls.

Loved this post (hat tip: Aishwarya) because it's kind of along the lines of my own outlook towards clothes. I love clothes, don't get me wrong, but unbrushed hair, frayed shorts and faded t-shirts are my uniform, especially as I work from home as much or more than from office. But I do have a beautiful purple top.  

Work

And in some of the best news I've read recently, the University of Pune is planning courses for sex workers.
