Perhaps my favorite part of any Glamour magazine is the collage of pictures on the last page called “dos and don’ts.” There is a different theme each month and each picture (most of them of real, unsuspecting people) features a woman doing something that is either fashion forward or a huge fashion faux pas.

Do start slowly, lend money, convince converts that God's work is incomplete and, finally, that doomsday is coming and Jesus has arrived to complete that work. Don't tell them until they are firm believers that the new Jesus will destroy the Great Red Dragon, which in the Bible represents Satan but to Lightning represents China. And if anybody asks why the "all-powerful" new Jesus must hide from...
