The Monk Bought Lunch: Food, clothing, shelter, domestic abuse

Food, clothing, shelter, domestic abuse

I was just reading the Onion and happened to read the featured personal in the sidebar. Meerabella has five things she can't live without:
"My friends, my family, a white wife beater, jeans and my Kiehl's clear lip gloss".
Now would that be a wife beater who happens to be white, or someone who only beats white wives? And why would it be so hard to live without one? A flying people eater who's purple, or do they eat flying purple people?
Also, what if someone decides they want her out of the picture for good? They take her lip gloss?

This person lives entirely within the sort of cultural pretension hitherto the domain of Alainis Morrisette, but now, seemingly, also that of a once funny midwestern satire. For a more cynical take, check the Baffler.
