Marie Claire: Didn't Happen? Doesn't Matter!

You know, we sometimes suspect that the women who write fashion magazines exist in a completely separate universe from the one we inhabit, but it’s not often we get proof.  Thanks to Marie Claire’s “Body of Evidence,” January, we now realize our hunch was correct.

Results [of a dermatological exam] are kept confidential, although one celeb who aced it appeared on Dancing with the Stars and is famous for his tan (another clue: he shares a surname with the president on the $10 bill).

See, in our world, Alexander Hamilton (whose visage appears on the $10) never served as president.

But, on second thought, why spend our lives governed by actual facts? 

Really, we ought to eschew the shackles of truth and instead congratulate Marie Claire for demonstrating the theoretical power of the female electorate.  Apparently, MC staffers have the ability to elect a man president more than two hundred years after his death—just imagine what could happen if every woman across the country took part in these totally imaginary elections.  Now that’s a world we’d like to live in!
