Superwoman, She-Ra and My Search for Perfection

There is a video of me as a little girl where I am pretending to be She-Ra.
Of course, my sister had already done her She-Ra skit but I wanted to be just like her, so I put on the plastic dress and the plastic mask, ran out onto my grandparents porch and said “For the […]

Making the LDR Work

As I write this I am sitting at my boyfriends house, hanging out with his roommates dog and watching Weeds onDemand while he is in class. I’m also wearing his sweatpants.
This wouldn’t be such an uncommon scenario if he didn’t live 1,000 miles away, if kissing him didn’t cost two hundred dollars and seeing him […]

Hollywood’s Most Unlikely Sex Symbols

We all fall in love with the dorky character. Usually the Hollywood “dorks” are along the looks line of Adam Brody or Penn Badgley (who, FYI, is playing another nerdy persona as Dan Humphrey in Gossip Girl this fall).
If all the nerdy guys looked like that, you’d be hard pressed to find a dork without […]

Fall Fashion Lust List: Shoes

Got Weed? Shout It From the Rooftops!

Green Fashion for the Eco Chic

New York Fashion Week is here. Parties, skinny models: I’m pretty sure the champagne and nicotine is free flowing in Bryant Park.
But while designers are fending off PETA protests in between showing their new spring lines and partying till dawn, the rest of us are trying to keep our heads above water with school starting […]

Women Find Kissing Important, Guys Not So Much

I’m sitting here reading this article about kissing and it is making me really wish my boyfriend wasn’t 1,000 miles away so I could just make out with him.
Like, a full on seventh grade make-out sesh.
I love to kiss. Which, I suppose, why a poll of 1,000 college students at a New York City school, […]

Fall Fashion Lust List: Jackets

With New York Fashion Week beginning tomorrow, the fashion world is gearing up for next spring.
But the rest of us, the small lowly peons who lust after the goods and then stockpile cheaper offers, are still attempting the seasonal transition from summer to fall.
I have been staring at the fall trends since the last Fashion […]
