The Glass Ceiling - as Bulletproof as Ever
by Susie Watson on May 31st, 2005
“When climbing the corporate ladder, knock politely when you reach
the glass ceiling but bring a sledgehammer just in case,” says Susie.
Barb and Susie begin with the June Vanity Fair article about the

“less gifted at science.” They scour the workplace, looking for signs
of equality. Unfortunately, the forecast is as bleak as ever.

by Susie Watson on May 17th, 2005
Although most professions hire employees who specialize in their

trust fund kids and daughters of socialites. No wonder we scratch our
heads when we see what is inside. They reflect a world not meant for
us, and yet they hold power and sway over teens and make the rest of
us feel like fashion failures. Fear not! Susie is happy to blow their
cover and make less socially endowed fashionistas free again.

Mr. Ed the Talking Horse? Seinfeld? There is only one way to find
out. Listen in! This is for you Janeane Garofalo!
