Comments for Yoga Babe

Yoga Babe: 08/14/08

"Yoga Babe" by Lauren Henderson follows a unnamed woman through her yoga class. If you believe her, she's a babe and deserving of any extra perks in life that may come from it.

"Yoga Babe" is the first story in American Girls About Town that I have genuinely hated. I don't care how perfect she is. I don't care how imperfect her yoga partner is. I don't care about how important it is to be seen at the yoga class or what clothes one should or shouldn't wear. I don't care how smooth her legs are or how stubbly her partner's legs are. I just don't care!

If you enjoy stories about shallow, self absorbed characters, then by all means enjoy "Yoga Babe." I, though, want my ten minutes back.
