Respect Rx Hits Whateverlife.com
We've partnered up with the super popular Whateverlife.com and Respect Rx is now the self-respect advice column on the site (which gets 7 million monthly visitors and 60 million page views!). Also, stay tuned for unique Respect Rx MySpace layouts from Whateverlife.com for all you girls. We are thrilled to promote this because the creator of Whateverlife is the amazing young woman Ashley Qualls who started the site when she was 14 years old! This girl is living proof that age does not matter because when you are doing what you enjoy, great things come out of it.
