On the radio recently they had a list of “Things women shouldn’t do after 30.” Some I thought were silly- who cares if a 35 year old wants to keep her cell phone in a Hello Kitty case? And others I don’t think a woman should be doing at any age- like getting into a fist fight with another woman over a guy (really, ladies, is he worth all that pulled hair??).

The ones I remember… Things A Woman Shouldn’t Do After 30:
– Shop in the Juniors Department because it still fits
– Wear pigtails (I guess Nicolette Sheridan hasn’t heard this one)
– Get into a fight with another woman (over a guy)
– Swear in front of children
– Keep cell phone in Hello Kitty case
– Have stuffed animals
– Pass out drunk in a restroom stall (I guess by 30 you should know to pass out after you get home)
– Have muffin tops from their low rise jeans
– Wear tongue ring or other facial piercings

So what do you all think? Agree? Disagree? Have any no-nos you’d like to add to the list? What fashion trends really get on your nerves? I think it could be funny for a future heroine to have to somehow confront a list like this, and decide to defy it just to make a point. Of course, that would be when she meets the hero…

My publisher, Kensington, was very generous last week, and I am swimming in ARCs (Advanced Reviewer Copies) for my October Brava, You Don’t Know Jack. I’ll choose a random winner to receive an ARC from those who comment. Thanks for your thoughts!

    I don’t like seeing a woman’s thong when she’s wearing low-riding pants.

    Big congrats Patty!

    I bet you will have a lot of fun with Erin’s book. I discovered her books just recently, due to some really good recommendations at the RT and I love her books

    As I am (slowly) approaching my 50th year I should really stop doing it but I can’t resist!! I collect stuffed toys, most of which are really cute animals 🙂 Personally I have always been of the opinion that age is a matter of attitude and not how long you have been on earth. Mind I have never got into afight with another woman over a guy – guys aren’t worth the effort. As to the other things most of them shouldn’t be done regardless of age or gender (especially the swearing in front of kids or showing off of tummy podge *eeeww*)
