Surely someone has angered you in the past few months, whether it is an individual such as Lindsay Lohan or a company like Sprint. An open letter will allow you to get your rage out and share it with a wider audience. When you use an open letter to start a dialogue, the best part is that you got to go first and get it all out there, uninterrupted.
If you are reading this web site, you have probably searched on a term like “6 month old activities”, “dream feed”, or “hospital packing list” so I will jump to the conclusion that you are hormonally imbalanced. You may have even searched on “what the fuck does my newborn want from me at 3 am she just ate at 2 am.” I know that’s what I’ll be googling later tonight. With all that craziness running through your pregnant or postpartum body, you surely have an open letter that needs to be written. Need to inform Shannen Doherty why you just cannot watch anymore 90210 reruns? Are you disappointed in Target’s summer fashions? Want to convey your position on Windows to Bill Gates? Did Continental Airlines treat you bad just one too many times?
Here’s mine, directed at Mimi Maternity. If you blog yours, please paste the URL here so we can all enjoy! Who will be the target of your wrath?

Whitney, hope you’re enjoying maternity leave, and please don’t let this frighten you next time we run into each other at the playground.
I could write to the woman who not only stole my parking spot, but almost rammed into my car in the process. Then proceeded to try and make small talk with me.
Or the homeless woman who insulted my friend, then proceeded to insult me, telling me to “get back in my SUV and drive back to China” (I don’t drive an SUV and I’m Korean, not Chinese).
But instead, here is my letter to Gelateria Naia.
