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…
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.
Last night Jezebel celebrated the publication of The Book Of Jezebel at The Line and we got a little Picasso baby. You can see all of the portraits on DodgeandBurn's Facebook page.
[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…
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 names.…
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 film…
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…
Be still, hearts of America. The perennial bad-boy prince of Beverly Hills has been busy at a studio in Los Angeles. No, he's not doing voicework for an animated version of a certain '90s primetime soap (wish!). He recorded a holiday gift that money can't buy from AT&T: a customizable video message accompanied by…
Everyone likes ripping open presents around this time of year. But picking out a friend's glasses that they wear on their face every day is a daunting task. Warby Parker knows this, and is offering gift cards in denominations of $50, $95, $145 and $195 — and all holiday gift cards will arrive at your lucky pal's door…
Girls, Lena Dunham's little corner of the big old world became a must-watch situation for HBO earlier this year. Girls came, girls went, girls lost their pants and lost their shit. The adventures of Hannah, Jessa, Marnie, and Shoshanna (and their various bosses, parents, hookups, husbands, gynecologists, and the like)…
These days, not everyone's tied to an office. But if you're working from the road, it doesn't mean you can't get as much done as you would if you were sitting at a desk. In this, the last of our Business Casual series written in conjunction with the join.me crew, we'll look at the mobile office tools that can help…
If you are gainfully employed, it's likely that meetings are part of your life. And, no matter how much you protest, they're not going anywhere. Here in the Business Casual series, written in conjunction with the join.me crew, we covered your sweet work-from-home setup, and now we're going to address the dreaded…
Whether you have a lucrative gig blogging about coupons or your work-from-home status is merely temporary, laptop + jammies does not a home office make. Welcome to the Business Casual series, a triptych of posts about how to stay on task at work — whether you're onsite, offsite, or at home. Created in conjunction with …
Sometimes in this crazy world, it's hard to find a little inner peace (or outer peace, or any peace, really), which probably explains the proliferation of yoga in recent years. It seems as if just about everyone has a mat shoved in their closet, is practicing their pranayama, or has a very vocal opinion on the perfect…
Sophisticated getaways call for sophisticated services, which is why this post is dedicated to some of the best wellness and spa retreats out there. Exotic landscapes, nature-inspired architecture, exquisite spas and body-trembling massages — these are all elements that contribute to a memorable holiday experience. The …
A woman, feeling insecure, asks her husband if he thinks a girl is pretty. She asks accusingly, her open-too-wide eyes and higher-than-normal voice making it clear that "tell me the truth, I won't get mad" is a trap. So the husband lies. Then the wife gets mad anyway because of the lie, provoking him to backpedal and…
Fantastically good chocolate, chocolate that resonates all the way back to our primal roots, chocolate that feeds body, mind and soul: Patricia Tsai's stone-ground, minimally processed chocolate embodies a journey from Mexican cocoa farm to urban America, and from a corporate cubicle to her ChocoVivo storefront atelier …
We should all be so lucky to, like the man above, stride along a public beach wearing a basic brown banana-hammock, not giving one flying fig that his spare tire is gleaming in the late-summer sunshine, nor that his body hair creates a shimmering halo around his creatively toned muscles. All while rocking a pair of…
You know how we used the Intel-Inspired Ultrabook™ Shooting Challenge as an excuse to send photographer Steven Taylor to Paris to shoot a bunch of black-and-white city portraits? Well the man with the cam is back, and he brought along a ton of great photos of his pal Val glamming it up in fabulous France.
