We just attended a baby shower in the hippie netheregions of Marin County, where guests were given red string bracelets and asked to wear them until the woman of honor goes into labor. Neither the mama-to-be or any of the guests are Jewish; it was more of a pagan, woman-solidarity thing. Nevertheless, we’ve been receiving plenty of wiseass Kabbalah cracks all week.
We know that the whole celebrity-slut red string thing is a heap of schlock, but if our friend’s baby bengel provides an extra shield from the kineahora, then more power to us.
