A celebration of the brave, drunken pioneers who built our civilization one seemingly bad decision at a time, A Brief History of Vice explores a side of the past that mainstream history books prefer to hide. History has never been more fun--or more intoxicating.

Guns, germs, and steel might have transformed us from hunter-gatherers into modern man, but booze, sex, trash talk, and tripping built our civilization. Cracked editor Robert Evans brings his signature dogged research and lively insight to uncover the many and magnificent ways vice has influenced history, from the prostitute-turned-empress who scored a major victory for women's rights to the beer that helped create--and destroy--South America's first empire. And Evans goes deeper than simply writing about ancient debauchery; he recreates some of history's most enjoyable (and most painful) vices and includes guides so you can follow along at home.

You'll learn how to:

- Trip like a Greek philosopher.
- Rave like your Stone Age ancestors.
- Get drunk like a Sumerian.
- Smoke a nose pipe like a pre-Columbian Native American.

"Mixing science, humor, and grossly irresponsible self-experimentation, Evans paints a vivid picture of how bad habits built the world we know and love."--David Wong, author of John Dies at the End

In LOVE
I have had so many issues finding bras that will fit. I'm picky with sensitive skin and a general hate for having to wear bras of any kind. I also I struggle with body dysmorphia and go between tolerance/hate of my tatas. Being a 40DDD is not fun with these issues, but I've found that wearing minimizer bras vs trying to bind to hide has been better for my overall self image (and way more comfortable). So I have looked high and low for different bras that support me, are attractive, and don't break the bank. This is IT. It's very sexy while working as an everyday bra and my partner LOVES the sheer and little strappy detailing. It supports just how I need it and has honestly given me some confidence back. I can't wait to keep coming back for this bra. Please keep this in stock lol. Sum up of the details that win me over: The overall look is sexy, its very soft, the banding is wide and does not dig into me (also has like 4 hooks?), the underwire is near perfect in that it supports and doesn't tend to dig unless it works its way up some, and it gives me a lovely shape that I don't normally have with how low I tend to hang, I fully fit in the cups (bell shaped, wide set) with no spillage.

Not very comfortable
Color: Black, Size: 42D
Just okay. Provides support but doesn’t particularly minimize and isn’t very comfortable.

Gorgeous!
Color: 01.Heart Cut, Style: 04. April (Diamond)
I love this necklace! I wanted something that represented my birthstone, but did not cost a fortune and could be easily replaced if it’s ever lost. I have very sensitive skin. Seriously, I’m even allergic to gold unless it’s pure. This necklace is perfect. The chain hasn’t bothered the skin on my neck since I put it on. The size is perfect for me. It sits exactly where I want it to. The pendant is a true Goldilocks - not too big, not too small, but just right! I love the way it looks in the sun! Sparkles, sparkles, sparkles! This is definitely going to be my go to, everyday piece. I highly recommend this to anyone who is even a little bit interested in buying it. You won’t be disappointed. It makes a wonderful gift for ladies and girls of all ages, or simply as a treat to yourself! Choose your birthstone or your favorite color! In fact, I’m considering which color to purchase next. Can’t say enough how much I am in love with this amazing piece!
