Laramie Dunaway's Women On Top

Blue Erhart is a normal high school biology teacher in her early 30's, living a normal life until her past comes back to haunt her.  Her biological parents (Bonnie and Clyde) are soon getting out of prison after almost 20 years. Being the only family tie to the once most sought after armed robber couple America has ever known, Blue becomes an overnight celebrity with the media persistently following her every step and writing and gossiping about the her - 'baby robber'.

(Her parents would rob a series of banks within 30 minutes and one hour later, news from various charity organizations countrywide thanking an anonymous philanthropist who just deposited a handsome amount of cash into their account would drop.  And of course, no bank would dare ask a charity organization to return the money).

Blue is forced to take time off school and later finds it hard to continue teaching after parents start filing complaints regarding her style of teaching.  

An excerpt  from one of her Biology classes regarding the Origin of Lipstick:

"In 1900’s, lipstick was made from crushed and dried insect corpses for colouring, beeswax for stiffness and olive oil for texture.

Today, the main ingredient for lipstick is acid.  The acid begins as an orange colour, but when it’s smeared across the lips, it literally sizzles into the skin, dyeing it red.  And some castor oil so it can spread smoothly, heavy petroleum bay wax to shape it into a stick, perfume to smother the castor oil, and food preservatives’ so it doesn’t go rancid.  And of course, to get that moist glistering effect: fish scales!  They buy fish scales left-over’s from commercial fish packers, soak them into ammonia then dump them in the mixture.

That’s all it takes to make a woman’s lips look like a wet vagina."

Similarly to this is What's In Your Cup of Coffee:

"About 150,000,000 million years ago, there were these tiny marine creatures that floated on the water.  When they died, their bodies sank to the bottom of the sea where it was shallow enough.  Dinosaurs stomped them to pump.  

Eventually, they were covered over lime mud where they continued to dissolve into separate little molecules.  The water used in your coffee traveled through these various geological layers, sweeping along with it some of these microscopic fragments.  

When the water is heated, the body fragments come out of suspension and start to stick together again.  It's not forming life, just patching odds and ends of skeleton bits into misshapen lumps.  That's what you drink, the skeletal remains of creatures 150,000,000 years of age."

Fun Fact about Women on Top:  The book is written by a man; Raymond Obstfeld who used Laramie Dunaway as his Pseudonym because there's no way editors, publishers and readers would be interested in a book written by a man telling a woman's story.
