Even the Dumbest Us Weekly Headlines Look Great In New Yorker Font

We Have CNN and Volvo to Thank for Today's Eclipse
One of the more amusing things about cable news—and contemporary media in general—is its insatiable appetite for branding major (and occasionally minor) news events as overly designed cross-platform content packages. These are most often seen during moments of extreme tragedy (terrorist attacks, war) or extreme…
Jezebel's Summer Reading List!
Summer is officially here, and with any luck, that means you’ll have a little more free time to spend catching up on all those books stacking up on your bedside table!

How It Really Feels to Be the Only Man at Jezebel
I realized being a man at Jezebel, a feminist blog, would be tough on my first day. After arriving to work in a new outfit, holding a latte from the coffee shop where I looked forward to becoming a regular, the site’s editor-in-chief, Emma Carmichael, led me past the red-stained floor of Jezebel’s pod inside Gawker…
The Simpsons Mocks Jezebel; We Are Truly #Blessed
Jezebel got a gentle ribbing on The Simpsons this evening (along with our friends at Defamer and our casual party frenemies at Perez Hilton). I believe I speak for all of us cranky lesbos on staff when I say that this is the best day of our lives.

I'm Anna Holmes, Founder of Jezebel, and This Is How I Work
Anna Holmes launched Jezebel in 2007, sparking a movement of new online content for women. Its distinct blend of smarts and snark gained an immediate following that hasn't slowed down since. In 2010, Anna stepped down as editor in chief to focus on, among many things, bringing Jezebel to life in book form. The newly…
Costumers Ask, "What are Women?"
There is some serious cognitive dissonance between costume companies desire to sell costumes to women, and their understanding of what women are - their understanding of fictional women at least.
How to Be a Great Wingwoman
[Ed. note: The whole wingwoman sitch can be difficult to navigate. Yeah, you love your girls, but no, you aren't willing to hop up on a banquette with them every time Ri-Ri comes on. Sure, you want to help your friend meet a guy, but not just any guy. Yes, you want everyone to feel pretty, but maybe they should…
The New Warby Parkers Will Have You Running from the Paparazzi in No Time
It's obvious that you're what's hot right now. Producers blowing up your phone, agents fighting over you (publicly, too; how embarrassing — for them), maître d's practically mauling themselves on strategically-placed fici (plural of ficus) to get you the best table at restaurants with the word "bungalow" in their…
How to Dress Your Man Like the Nerd of Your Dreams
Gone are the sand-in-the-face days when being considered a nerd was a bad thing. Now, it seems like every Hollywood actor desperate for a career makeover is hiking up his pants, pulling on a cardigan, and ditching his contacts for a set of plastic frames — because nothing says, "Hire me for your massive comic book…
How to Transform into a Total Nerd-Babe
Though the inimitable Dorothy Parker once claimed, "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses," times, they have changed. These days there is nary a fella out there who would balk at putting the moves on some bespectacled nerd-babe. In fact, it's pretty much safe to safe to say, that being "adorkable" is now…
