It's International Women's day and it is time to celebrate. Who and what are you raising a glass to tonight? And what are you drinking? And is it any good and can one buy it for less than ten dollars? (Asking for a friend!) (Actually, I just sent my mom a bouquet of flowers and now I'm broke, so I'm really asking for…
4-year-old Mayhem has returned with Oscar looks for your viewing pleasure. It seems that she and her mother have been busy in their workshop creating the latest academy awards fashions—Lupita! Jennifer! Jada! They're all here!—for eager viewers and skeptics alike.
If you've ever thought that the numbers on the back of fortune cookie messages—22,13,44,57...in bed—were useless, think again and get your take-out menus ready; a 75-year-old woman who played her fortune cookie's lucky numbers just won two million dollars. (Which means she can now rent a studio in Manhattan.) (Or San…
Police have launched an investigation of a Philadelphia-area mother (whose name has been withheld) after a video of the woman nodding out on the bus went viral yesterday. And while video evidence of the mother's behavior is likely going to be something that the police and social workers take into consideration, it's…
In an entry on her personal blog, former Miss Kentucky and Miss America contestant Djuan Keila Trent declared, "I am queer." Quite a few media outlets picked up the story, and inevitably there was a barrage of comments on the articles asking why we should even care or why coming out was even necessary. Should she have…
How much do you wish you were at SXSW right now, watching the Veronica Mars movie and asking questions about the film and the cast? Well, luckily we've obtained pictures of the cast chilling after the film and they're looking fantastic. (Kristin Bel's flower-power top: Yay or nay?)
There's a lot going on in China, so it may come as a surprise that when the country's two highest governing boards met in Beijing last week, the hottest topic of discussion wasn't the recent terrorist attack that left 33 dead or the country's economy; it was a South Korean soap opera that's been sweeping the nation and …
You guys, I can't stop and I won't stop flicking my hands and stomping on the floor until I look exactly like Beyonce when I am dancing to "Flawless." I don't care how many times the neighbors hit their ceiling with a broom, I won't rest until you can't tell me apart from Queen Bey when you see us dancing. ("Who is that…
I first read about fighting fire with fire in an old Tin-Tin comic I had borrowed from the library in the hopes that I would one day be interested in adventure (no. It's the napping life for me). In the comic, Tin Tin sets some grass on fire to put out another fire that is coming towards him and his merry band of…
Last month, Congress passed a bill that would reduce federal spending by $8.6 billion over the next decade, and it's pretty atrocious. You might be saying to yourself: isn't saving money a good thing? Well, you haven't heard about the (not in any way) surprising catch: in order to do so, the bill basically completely…
When the retirement community in which Evelyn lives got rid of the bus that took its members to the grocery store, her friend Joyce was dismayed and afraid that she would be moved. She didn't want to go anywhere else and she didn't have to, because Evelyn stepped up and obtained a license, making sure that Joyce could…
I love women. And as I get older, my life is becoming increasingly about them. I dance with women, I speak with women, I am coached, sponsored by, and counseled by women. I meet them for coffee. I talk to them about sex. I ask them for advice. I hold them while they cry. I love the deep feelings. And the competition. The struggle to be seen and held. The intimacy. The complication. The ability to heal.
Comedian Jenny Collier shared the above email to her Twitter on Friday, inciting a wave of fury (or at least moderate irritation) at the unknown venue owners who had Collier axed from a show because they didn't want too many women on stage in one evening. I don't know if they thought too many women would ruin the…
Sheryl Sandberg! is speaking out about the gendered nature of the word "bossy"—the way that men get to be the boss (competent, powerful, in control), while women are coded as bossy (nagging, domineering, stepping out of their place). Sandberg, along with Condoleezza Rice and Girl Scouts CEO Anna Maria Chávez, is leading a …
It's Saturday, and I'm at Six Flags, waiting in line for the Tatsu. I've been in line for over an hour, my feet hurt, my back hurts, and I'm absolutely terrified. I love roller coasters, and I'm not afraid of the speed or heights. I'm afraid of getting in the seat and pulling down the restraint. Will I fit, or will it…
Graphic designer Fernando Sosa has created the most interesting sex toy prototype yet, a 3D-printed Vladimir Putin butt plug that's not quite ready for prime-time use but is an intriguing piece of protest art just the same.
If you haven't already heard—and it's impossible not to have heard at this point—Game of Thrones is returning for a new season on April 6th. In order to prepare you for the inevitable bloodbath (and incest), artists have been hard at work creating every iteration of the series you could think of including a full…
If you've been waiting for Blue Ivy's big debut, new video has surfaced of the tiniest Carter singing the word "surfboart" and telling her mommy that she loves her during Beyonce's dress rehearsal for the Grammys.
I don't know who's the bigger problem here, the tattoo artist who surprised his dog with ink during her spleen surgery, or the unnamed veterinarian who allegedly allowed the inking. Either way, this is bad news all around, and the worst news is this: It's not yet illegal to tattoo your animal in New York.
The Olympics may be over, but the inseparable and unstoppable duo of Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski are not done providing commentary on figure skating everywhere. (Please never be done, you guys. You are amazing.)
