Letter from the Editors:

Greetings, Salties!

This week's newsletter is brought to you by the letter "G" for Golden, the symbol "=" for equal pay and the cone shape for, well, ice cream! Get your mind out of the gutter. OK, it's for Madonna's cone-bra, too. You know us too well!

Did you miss equal pay day? No worries, according to Stephen Colbert's positive spin on the is-this-really-still-happening? unequal pay problem, women need to work three extra months to make what their male counterparts make in one year. So you may be 32-years-old but you're only 23, financially.

If that doesn't make you feel better, this week's Golden Nuggets from 'The Girls' will surely perk up your pantyhose. Welcome to the G-Spot.

Pointedly yours,
Team Saltie

We Want.

We Love.

WTF?

Dear Kate

Named after inspiring women in history, Dear Kate's collection of adorable, sexy and leak-free undergarments are definitely on our WANT list. Kiss your "period panties" goodbye.

BAM

Part of BAM's Eat, Drink & Be Literary series, short fiction phenom, Meg Wolitzer will be present on May 28th for dinner, drinks, dessert, live music, a book reading and discussion about the creative process. Sounds like the most perfect date, ever! Tix and info here.

Not OK

Using "her story changed" seems it shouldn't be an excuse for police to drag their feet, especially when it's a 13-year-old girl needing aid in a group sexual assault case. The process needs to change now.
