  • Here to answer the age-old question "How much boob is too much boob?" is Rachel Bloom, star of the TV show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. "Ladyboss" is a parody music video about being a woman at work and making it work, hosted by Vanity Fair. It delves into heavy-hitting topics like unsolicited opinions from men and being seen as a boss without being called a bitch. "Ladyboss" is similar in (hilarious) tone to Kristen Bell's recent "Pinksourcing" video, with a message that all women who work, especially in an office, can relate to. Revel in the entire video below. (See WiCipedia: The Women Helping Women Edition.)
