And, when I get there, I always say to myself, “What the heck was I thinking?” Listen: Samuel L. Jackson narrates "Go the Fuck to Sleep" Author Adam Mansbach, after repeated struggles to get his two-year-old daughter to fall asleep, once sent out a jokey Facebook post reading: "Look out for my forthcoming children's book, 'Go the Fuck to Sleep.'" The one-liner amused many of his Facebook friends, and the next thing you know, Mansbach had assembled some verses, and bootleg PDF copies of the profanity-laced opus were suddenly going viral. The thirty-two-page Go the Fuck to Sleep was picked up by a small Brooklyn publishing house, and even reached number one on Amazon's bestseller list ahead of memoirs by Tina Fey and Steven Tyler, well before its official publication date, which was yesterday. So this children's book for adults is now a full-blown phenomenon, and has weathered a little controversy, as New Zealand Christian group Family First has lobbied New Zealand's booksellers not to sell the book. This all makes for an amusing story, but it gets better.

To start, I chose a dark base.

How to Tie a Scarf: Easy Parisian Knots by Christina Gregoire Chic women need to know some simple ways to wrap or tie long, rectangular scarves. If you live in a cold climate or you have visited Paris, you already understand the value of a scarf, and you probably lust after all long, thin scarves (with wonderful drape) in your best colors. Scarves in Paris Fortunately, little Gigi had a mentor who showed her how to tie her sinfully lightweight cashmere scarves when she was a four-year-old. Unfortunately, I was raised by Huns who didn’t know the difference between silk and polyester … or the difference between handmade and machine made.
