We Can Teach You

I am beyond excited to announce a new guest post series on Slice of Pink.

As you probably know, I am studying for the California Bar Exam this summer, a real nightmare of an exam requiring endless hours of studying and memorizing, studying and memorizing. Since I will not be having any fun adventures for the next two months, I am officially instituting Pink University. Inspired by these I Can Teach You badges, I asked some bloggers and friends what they could teach us. And, you know? They had some fantastic responses.

This summer, while I learn the mind-numbing intricacies of parol evidence and joint liability and who can sue who for what where, you are going to get a far lovelier education in a random assortment of fabulous and wonderful things.

You are going to learn new skills and get lessons in etiquette, language, and style. You are going to learn how to make the perfect gin fizz and how to hit a baseball. You are going to learn the difference between lie/lay and how to use chopsticks. You'll do artsy projects and become aware about things happening in the world around us. You are going to make a cake with booze.

Your professors include some of the world's finest bloggers, Slice of Pink readers, and favorite friends. They specialize in the fabulous, the fantastic, and the phenomenal (really, you should see their amazing resumes!) and they have each agreed to teach us something (maybe you have something to teach, too?).

Those of you who stick with us will graduate and receive your very own Slice of Pink diploma, which I will be sending out promptly after I take the bar, eat a lot of booze cake, sleep for several days, pack up my apartment, and move to the beach.

Ready to get educated, pink-style? We've got a lot to learn (with even more coming soon)! Enroll in the comments and I'll process your application quickly--no prerequisites required, no tuition fees which, let's face it, is a pretty damn good deal considering how awesome a Bachelor in Pink is going to look on your resume.

This will give me something to show for my last college summer other than far too many photos of me drinking far too many daiquiris! I can't wait!

You're so clever. Consider me part of the class of 2010. Any chance there can be a class on settling in to your first home?

[Leslie]

Please do count me in. Been out of town and sans computer for a couple of weeks. Wouldn't miss this for the the world. If I can think of something clever to teach, I'd gladly help, too!
