INTRODUCTION: YOU AS A HUMAN PERSON
As far as we know, there are THREE facets of your humanity that make you YOU.

INTELLIGENCE 
Have you ever heard the phrase “she’s got a good head on her shoulders”? This isn’t alluding to your competitively priced dandruff-controlling shampoo. Among all the attributes one can present, being the sharpest acrylic toenail on the foot is the most select. In the real world, outwitting another is the equivalent of creeping up to their ear and whispering, “I am inherently better than you.”

Don’t sleep with people who don’t read!” Truthfully, you don’t know where they keep their books, so this advice is fairly incomplete. In the summer, I keep my books in my refrigerator next to my AAA batteries and my watermelon SKYY vodka. Also: Owning books doesn’t make someone intelligent. Reading books doesn’t even make someone intelligent. You’re reading a book right now and you’re dumb as hell.

That’s where I met Tara, a gorgeous young stylist with glowing skin, bright eyes, and supernaturally blond hair. She had a baby-doll voice and long charcoal lashes.

After her client consults, however, I would watch Tara bubble into the color room, pull out her glasses, and transition into a talented chemist. She could double-, triple-process colors and buzz out a couple ultraprecise men’s cuts in between. After performing dazzling feats of beauty, she would leave every client feeling like they just had lunch with a Playboy Bunny. Tara the not-s…
