What color hair do you have?

Bergdorf Brunette
Dear Bergdorf Brunette,
I think this is a trick question. By revealing my hair color I would be revealing one of my features. I plead the fifth on this one.

Dear Gossip Girl,
I am so embarrassed. Like I want to hide under my sheets for the rest of my life and never come out until graduation in four years. I did this dumb thing at a party and now I’m afraid the entire world knows about it. How can I make everyone forget about it as well as show my face again?
Sincerely,
Mortified Mary
Dear Mortified Mary,
People will forgive but they will never forget. Trust me. If you want to be part of this world people will talk. You just need to learn to accept it. If you can’t play with the sharks then get out of the water. You need to stand tall with your head high and face the UES. For better or worse.
Sincerely,
