Loading ...Antidepressants are supposed to make us happier—but are they actually doing the opposite? According to researcher Helen Fisher, Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil and other antidepressants may alter brain chemistry in a way that zaps desire to find a mate and dulls the euphoria felt when people fall in love—a process that Fisher calls “temporary insanity.”

Comments (0) Faking It: Fat Lashes
August 6, 2007 - 12:00 pm
My name is Diana, and I’m a mascara junkie. In addition to touching up my Almay retractable eyeliner numerous times a day, my purse always holds an eyelash curler and a tube of my mascara-of-the-month.
I am not one of those classic Maybelline Great Lash girls. When I shop for a new mascara, I pick up […]

Are you an animal lover?
Or perhaps an animal lover with commitment issues stemming from your relationship with your mother that you’re working out in therapy right now?
Well lucky for you, now pets—like most things in life (cars, homes, a warm body to spend the night with)—can be rented.

Comments (1) Mannequins to Gain Freshman 15
August 3, 2007 - 10:30 am
Shopping for me is a pain at best, and traumatizing at worst. Unflattering lighting, three-way mirrors, and those damn stick-figure mannequins that seems to be modeled after the Olsens. It’s one thing to be jealous of impossibly thin celebrities—it’s quite another to envy the figure of a plastic, headless doll.
Well, it seems that I’m not […]

Nothing ruins my morning quite like hearing a leering stranger mutter his commentary on my appearance under this breath. If you’re a woman who’s ever walked a block or two in a city, you can probably relate.
Trading stories of street harassment with friends, I learned that it doesn’t stop at lewd mumbled comments. I have […]

If your supply of Cucumber Melon Nair suspiciously starts going missing, blame your boyfriend. If designers like Prada have their way, men will start taking fashion cues from the runways and start wearing shorts that look like they came out of your closet.

Comments (23) Your Nipples are Inadequate
July 29, 2007 - 12:16 pm
As much as I admire women who just roll out of bed and go, I’m not one of them. I wouldn’t call myself high-maintenance, but I do shave, pluck, wax, color, and lotion unapologetically on a regular basis. It seems, however, that I’ve been leaving out something in my primping routine—nipple tinting.

Comments (1) Music Review: “The Con” - Tegan and Sara
July 27, 2007 - 9:50 am
I’ve been seriously girl-crushing on Canadian singing duo Tegan and Sara ever since listening to “I Won’t Be Left” on repeat after a bad breakup. Ever since then, these girls have been the soundtrack to my love life, and their fifth album, The Con is the perfect addition.
The Quin twins, who established themselves as key […]
