Ginger Snap: a wintertime gender-blender.

Call her L'Eggy Pop, the David Bowie look-alike who did more to demolish the panythose industry in "Michael Clayton" than Katie Couric ever did with her fake-baked and much flaunted stems.  (Seriously.  Did you see the movie?  Women of a certain age ran screaming from the theatre, clawing at their shiny legs.  Tragedy struck in a small town in Georgia when a woman, attempting to surreptitiously slink out of her stockings suffered the dread Pantyhose Roll mid-thigh; the subsequent loss of oxygen caused her to pass out and fall to the floor whereupon she was trampled by the above-mentioned hordes of sisters in shame.)  Tilda, according to the NY Times, is Oscar-bait once again for her turn as the mother of a Columbine-type killer in "Something About Kevin." 

And thus a toast tonight to the bi-tilting Tilda, her newly reddish locks and her utter fearlessness in all things fashion.   This recipe from the website Delish will also, conveniently, allow you to use the rest of your holiday eggnog:

Ginger Snap
3/4 oz. Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum
1/2 oz. Ginger Brandy
4 oz. egg nog

Add ingredients to your blender and blend to desired consistency.  Pour into glass and garnish with a ginger snap cookie.  Be daring and dunk.  Tilda would.
