Big Changes, New Beginnings

Well, guys, we've got some pretty big news: We're moving. Or rather, Jezebel has been acquired by CondeNet, the online arm of publishing giant Conde Nast (Vogue, Glamour, Conde Nast Traveler, The New Yorker). We'd heard rumors last week that there were discussions going on between CondeNet and Gawker Media regarding Jezebel, and those rumors continued on over the weekend. Then, last night, I got word that there would be an announcement of some sorts today, and now it's official: As of this morning, Jezebel is part of the Conde Nast stable of online properties (which include Style.com, Concierge.com and Epicurious.com). We're not quite sure how to feel about this (although the acquisition has no doubt made our boss, Nick Denton, a much wealthier man) and even more unsure how exactly it will affect us, but we do know that the site will be welcoming an editorial consultant and some new staffers in the (very) near future. After the jump, we've got a copy of the press release with some more details. More »

Requiem For A Vulgarity: RIP Vajayjay

Some vulgarities, like fuck or cunt stay with us for centuries, while others, like quim (thanks Cheast!), appear and then fade into obscurity — sometimes from overuse. And, thus, despite your votes and our love of the only remaining awesome character on Grey's Anatomy, we sadly bring you the slow, painful death of vajayjay. From Miranda Bailey to Oprah to The New York Times to Tyra and finally to Michael Smerconish of The Philadelphia Daily News, who declared his passion for the word because vagina "refuses to roll easily off the tongue," [Heh, roll off the tongue, heh heh. —Ed] vajayjay is suffering mightily from overexposure and it needs a long, deep slumber. For those who need to call female genitalia something giggle-worthy, may we suggest either the Gawker-approved "catbag" or the Tina Fey favorite "cooter"? It can give us all time to heal.
