Latest

It would appear that a full third of women in the U.S. are really, really into mason-jar D.I.Y. projects and inspirational quotes overlaid onto stock photos. Because according to the latest numbers, 33 percent of American women who bother using the Internet at all are now on Pinterest.

That little tidbit is courtesy of Mashable, which plucked it out of the latest Pew Research numbers. That’s compared to 8 percent of American men online and 21 percent of American adults total, based on a survey of 1,1445 Internet users.

Bonus benefit: Everyone see you doing it. It’s like Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion without having to lie about Post-It notes.
