  1. Don’t drink alone in bars (even if you’re reading a Difficult Novel)
  2. Don’t wear cowboy boots with denim shorts (AKA the Britney dictum)
  3. Don’t buy wine, baby oil and boy shorts on the same shopping trip (even if those items are truly unrelated)
  4. Don’t wave. don’t even raise your hand above your shoulders. not even if there’s a bee on it. in fact, don’t move your appendages at all if you can help it
  5. Don’t wear hoop earrings
  6. Don’t do anything those old whores from Sex And The City might do (e.g., drink cosmos, call anyone Mr. Big)
  7. Don’t hang out by the Merida airport after 10 pm
  8. Don’t wear your bikini to the table
  9. Don’t keep the company of men who wear purple hats
  10. Don’t trade sex for pesos, no matter how good the exchange rate
