World Unfamiliar

The incoming e-mail had the subject line "Bravangelism,"--was it about Brad and Angelina, a new car, or apocalyptic fiction?--so I clicked on it out of curiosity.

The pictures and subject matter were perfectly fine--"G"-rated by Bay Area standards--but I did wince at the attempted contraction of bra and evangelism.

I've been on the Title Nine mailing list ever since I made an online purchase a couple of Christmases ago (no, the purchase wasn't for moi). Their sales pitches are replete with images of athletic, fun-loving, but not model-thin women. It's a window to a world with which I am unfamiliar.

By all reports T9 is a successful, growing business, but "bravangelism"?--get me rewrite!
