No one survives on caviar and champaign alone. Every now and again even the best feminist succumbs to silly pop-culture fare. For some it’s fashion mags, for others it’s rom-coms … My weakness is a little show on TLC called What Not to Wear. And I’m not the only one, apparently. (Remember local environmentalist Tara…
So let’s talk about the Erin Andrews thing, shall we? In case you didn’t hear, ESPN sports-journalist Erin Andrews was the victim of video voyeurism — in which the perpetrator(s) video-taped her while she was undressed in her hotel room.
