Woman-cave

It's a trend for men to make "man-caves" (places in their home with lots of electronic equipment, a Lay-Z-Boy, and easy access to beer). These are supposedly places of retreat where no woman is allowed.

Well, today my fiance mentioned that the stock market is starting to go down again, and I thought, "I need a woman-cave to hide in when he and my dad start shrieking about the economy." So, what should I put in my woman-cave?

I'll definitely need lots of chocolate and books - pretty much everything by Jane Austen, plus some of my favorite Dumas titles (The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers). What else? Maybe some manicure/pedicure equipment: nail file, toe separators, and nail polish. Also some pillows and blankets so I can curl up as I read. I think an iPod, loaded with classical music, would not go amiss.

Any recommendations?
