Or - How To Enjoy Yourself Without A Man.

I know that divorce is a serious business. For many, it's a soul-destroying, confidence-wrecking experience. However, this lens isn't about the ins and outs of divorce; why it happens, how it affects you or how you go about rebuilding your life. No.

Instead, it's an irreverent look at life after divorce and without a man. It's dedicated to the women who have been through divorce, come out the other side and become stronger for it. It's also for those women going through it right now who at times need to laugh instead of cry.

I make no apologies for the fact this lens is completely biased - like many, I've been there, done that. It's supposed to be a bit tongue-in-cheek. Guys, if you don't like it, give us a lens with an alternative view!

Enjoy!
