SLUT, SLOB OR SLEAZE BAG: INSIDE EVERY WOMAN LURKS THE SECRET SHAME OF BADNESS. NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO COME CLEAN.

Last month's lurid tales of love gone wrong got us thinking about a parallel area of humiliation: not what was done unto you, but what you have done unto others -- or however that goes. You get the picture: We want to hear about the WORST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE. We know you're usually Snow White, but wasn't there a time when you were the Evil Queen? It's time to confess the rattiest thing you've done to another person. Such as ...

Did you leave your baby in a shopping cart at the supermarket while you distractedly drove off to get your nails done?
Did you deflate your ex-lover's tires while he piously toiled away at work?
Did you sandwich an Oreo with chewed gum and give it to an unsuspecting playmate?
Did you steal money from your best friend's purse while she wasn't looking?
Go on -- tell us what you did. You'll feel better if you do. At least we'll feel better if you do. All submissions should be sent to dramaqueen@salonmagazine.com by Wednesday, April 29.
Meanwhile, enjoy the strange fruit of love's labors lost and check out our new queen of lame lovers.
