Please Allow Us to Reintroduce Ourselves
Hello. We’re The Root.
What's Your Favorite On-the-Go Stain Remover?
Listen, I know that not everyone has an issue with spilling pretty much everything they drink on themselves like I do, but don’t judge me. I just want to wear a white t-shirt in peace! On-the-go stain removers were a godsend when they first came out, but they’ve slowly lost their charm.

Don't Have a Halloween Costume? We're Here to Help
I love Halloween, I am committed to being good at it and I would like to see the rest of America do as I do. (Recent costumes–all homemade–include Tilikum the killer whale, Rainbow Fish and a flamingo.

Taylor Swift Replaces a Rabid Rat as NYC's New Welcome Ambassador
Courtesy the song "Welcome To New York," Taylor Swift has been named "NYC's Global Welcome Ambassador for Tourism," making one wonder if the song was just a super-genius Bloombergian scheme hatched by Swift and the tourism board to promote 1989 and also all those fugnacious condos they keep letting people build.

Your Least Favorite Children's Book
Since it's become acceptable for intelligent grown-ups to read and engage in young adult fiction, it was only a matter of time before we could start getting into children's books, as well.

What Stupidly Specific Kitchen Gadget Can't You Live Without?
Flipped through the William Sonoma catalog lately? It's basically a glossy, overproduced database of hilariously specific kitchen gadgets. Pans just for frittatas, garlic presses out the wazoo, ice-cream makers, this fucking handheld strawberry slicer. Then again, one person's dust-covered mistake is another's prized…
The Craziest Thing You've Ever Done to Get Laid
