Cecil Castelluci author of Plain Janes, Beige, Boy Proof and Queen of Cool, read my post below about the David Sedaris essay and the Macy's elves getting it on together and being all men, and she emailed me to remind me that there are girl elves at Macy's.

Yes. It was just that the getting together in the Sedaris essay was all male elves.
Hopefully it is clear now.

How does Cecil know about the elves?
She was an elf! She was an elf at Macy's!
She did not get friendly with any other elves, she says.

Go read her books now.
