Make a sex tape. Get a TV show. Get a book deal.

There are so many great female writers out there, that just can’t catch a break, writers with something to say, writers that can actually write. Many of these writers will never be published, some may publish but will never garner any media attention, and therefore will get relegated to the $1 book section at a garage sale.

Meanwhile, the Tila Tequilas, Paris Hiltons, and Kim Kardashians of the world not only get book deals, but they get the publicity necessary to make their books sell. Three women primarily famous for prancing around in next to nothing for a national TV audience get to have books with prime spots at every book store across the country.

And what are these books about, you ask? What gems of wisdom, what secrets of success do these women have to impart to young girls everywhere? I actually skimmed  Tila's book at the airport, in shock that such a book existed. Here’s an excerpt:

Tila on dating: "I've had sex on the first date, and it did end up developing into something amazing. The sex was so good the guy was like, "Holy shit! You're fucking awesome!" It can work. But if you do have sex on the first date, it will have to be the best EVER."

On romance: "You can never go wrong with candles. ... or just leave the TV on if you don't have candles. That's like the poor man's mood lighting."

This makes me sad. Sad, indeed.
