Jessica Simpson:
A Real Case of Holding Out Till Marriage, Sincerely

Hailing from a Southern Baptist background, Jessica married Nick Lachey and reportedly saved it for thee wedding night. Whatdya' mean you haven't heard the story? Unless you've been living under a rock---or you've wizened up and have learned to avoid current mainstream pop culture--you can't have not heard of the chaste Jessica.

Yup. She did it. She wins the Crown for subjecting herself to an angst-ridden adolescence of agony--we're so sure. All kidding aside, it's kinda' refreshing to consider the example she's set. Now, we're not exactly claiming to share any beliefs that are formed by a background of religious guilt or promoting abstinence as an effective or rational form of birth control, but, we just want to give nods where they are due for having some conviction.

Yes, that's right. Having the faith in yourself and discipline to make a decision and just stick to it -- well, it's commendable. Who cares if she's slutting her wares around town, now? She's made her point. She's paid her dues. And she's cute as a button, too.
