My boyfriend in high school used to think he was really cool because he used Rough Rider condoms. Me, and my inexperience had no idea what the difference was between, say, Trojan and these other ones. But I did know that I would get really embarrassed on the rare occasion that he could convince me to go in and buy them for him. It just seemed so—dirty—to ask for Rough Riders.

Condom shopping now… is still slightly embarrassing, but a lot more fun. Those vibrating condoms I was talking about the other day? Who knew there were so many to choose from! I feel like my ignorance has cheated me out of a better sex life. There’s the Trojan Vibrating Ring ($9.95), the Lifestyles 4Play Vibe ($7.95), and the highest rated TPR The Pleasuring ($5.95). The vibrating ring lasts for up to 20 minutes, and hits us girls right in the money spot. Read More »

Yesterday was the first real day of sunshine and warmth that my college experienced since probably last August. The lawns were littered with tanning co-eds anxious to soak up those rays we missed so much during the long winter months. I did partake in the lawn relaxation session with some of my friends as well, and ran into an interesting situation.

A boy with a cute little terrier puppy passed us on the sidewalk and all of the girls oohed and awwed over the tiny creature. Upon hearing our reaction, he came over and let us pet and play with the puppy. While interacting with the dog, we also found out about him; what year he was, where he was from, where he lived, etc. and he asked about us. A great way to break the ice and possibly the easiest pick-up for guys. I watched Drama and Turtle use this tactic on last week’s entourage, and now have experienced it first hand.

But, it may not always be authentic. What if that dog wasn’t even his and it was just a sneaky ploy to talk to chicks? Well apparently some guy in D.C. saw the potential to make money on puppy pick-ups and offers his services for pay.

Johnny, Matt, George, Brad, Tobey, Shrek … You’re all going to make me a very happy and sat-is-fied girl this summer. I’ll be laughing, I’ll be lusting, I’ll be spending A LOT of time at the movie theater.

The line up of summer flicks is pretty awesome: Pirates of the Carribean 3, The Bourne Ultimatum, Ocean’s 13, Shrek the Third, Spiderman 3. Strangely, all of the ones I’m interested in seeing are third sequels. What’s up with that?

Which movie do you want to see the most?

Spring has sprung and summer is just around the corner. You know what this means girls? That’s right, its mini-skirt season. Whether it’s a skirt and flip flops for class, a bikini while laying out on your lawn, or shorts with heels for a night out, your bottom half will most likely start to make an appearance in some way after hibernating for the past couple months.

Ah! I know this may seem scary and sudden for some. I agree. After a bitter cold and snowy winter, I suddenly realized that I need to get my backside into tip top shape for this clothing season.

Well, luckily, our friends over at fitsugar.com have provided a fabulous workout just for that backside of yours. And, it’s only four minutes! No matter how stressed you are with finals and papers, you can squeeze four measly minutes into your day to do these exercises. Read More »

Anytime you get to dress up in college, it’s a big deal. Everyone is so used to rolling out of bed and going to class in sweats while hungover that we tend to forget that we all actually clean up quite nicely.

This past weekend, I had a formal event and it was the last big hurrah marking the end of our senior year… tear. We’ve been talking about it since february. Every girl wants to look perfect for these kinds of things … because we all know that pics will be up and tagged on facebook within 24 hours. So it’s very important to look your absolute best.

Well, out of nowhere last week, a zit popped up on my roommate’s forehead, right between her eyebrows. Not okay. She started stressing about what to do days before the big event. Another friend told her to use Visine on it the night before our formal. Visine? Yes, the stuff that is for dry, red, itchy eyes. It claims that it “gets the red” out, and apparently this works on pesky pimples too.

Let me tell you, it was a miracle. The morning of the formal, after applying Visine, her zit was pretty much gone.

Well, it’s post-Entourage Monday, and I definitely saw this one coming. No pun intended.

Vince’s storyline focuses on his already rocky relationship with his new agent, Amanda. What a beast. But it’s not that they don’t like each other. It’s that they reeeealllly do like each other. So much so that Amanda gives Vince quite the proposition.

After Vince tells Amanda she is “cute” in front of E, (which pisses him off and probably makes him jealous) she asks Vince if he thinks she is “hot” and if he wants to secretly sleep with her, get it out of the way so the sexual tension can be relieved, and then get on with their professional relationship.

And – here’s the shocker -Vince agrees! Can you believe it? He agrees to have pure, unadulterated Sexy Time! And the show ends as Vince slyly slips away from the boys to meet up with his lucky lady. Read More »

I graduate in a couple weeks. Yes, I have come to terms with this and my emotional breakdowns have decreased to only once a week. Instead of wistfully reminiscing about each of my crazy college years and dispensing advice, I am now starting to look to the future as a mature adult…or something like that.

Facebook has been one topic of discussion lately for my graduating peers, and I still have not reached any conclusion yet. After college, is it considered weird to still be on facebook all the time? Should I switch to a more grown-up social networking site? Not that I know of any certain ones that exist, but it seems like the word, facebook, equals college in many minds. Would creating a myspace account take care of this issue? For some reason, myspace makes me think of creepy old men stalking the profiles of thirteen year old girls.

When I really think about deactivating my precious facebook account in hopes of gaining a real life, my heart starts to race and I get nervous that I will lose touch with all of my 508 ‘friends’.

The bro and I are both busy students. We don’t talk often, and when we do, it’s usually something like:

“Mom told me to call you.”

“Cool.”

“What are you doing?”

“Cooking chicken on my Foreman Grill.”

“Cool.”

Admittedly, not very interesting. But every once in a while, we get into discussions over the trusty AIM, when both of us are either too exhausted to work or too stressed out to type another academic sentence, that go above and beyond my brother’s grilling expertise. He’s a good liaison into the male mind and often has straightforward things to say…that is, when he’s not playing computer games…or eating…or watching the Cartoon Network.

Today’s discussion? Porn.

(21:42:)Me: why do dudes like Girls Gone Wild? What’s the allure?

(21:43:) The Bro: normal men don’t because normal, smart men realize pornography is free

(21:43:) Me: but how did it become so famous?

(21:43:) The Bro: …its not as famous as it projects itself

(21:43:) Me: why would someone watch a girl with most of her clothes on when he could watch a totally naked chick? Read More »

Between studying for finals and watching episodes of Entourage this weekend, I took a little trip outside to catch some rays and noticed that the world was finally turning green! But the trees and the flowers aren’t the only things going green these days. It seems that people are getting a little greener too.

And they should be; after all, Sunday was Earth Day. To you, it may have seemed like nothing more than one day closer to the doom that is final exam week, but for many people (like Al Gore…and me), Sunday was another great excuse to talk about the current state of our planet and everything that lives on it.

Since my friends are really sick of me listing off reasons and ways to conserve energy and save the planet, I will share my list with you. And you will listen. Why? Because if you don’t, the future will hold extreme damage from hurricanes, many uber hot days, and the end of many adorable species of animals (like these cuties).

Saving the world isn’t even hard. Even the littlest changes can have a huge impact. Simply start with these 5 easy steps and we will be well on our way to a cleaner and happier planet:

1. Rent “An Inconvenient Truth”: Forget what you know about boring documentaries and Al Gore and put this bad boy on your Netflix queue. The film is packed full of years of research on global warming and really forces you to put your impact on the world in perspective. It also happens to be extremely interesting.

2. Switch your lightbulbs: Yes, those 60 watt bulbs from Home Depot are super cheap and really do the trick, but they also waste a ton of energy. Oh, and they don’t last too long. These new guys use 2/3 less energy and last 10 times longer! (Bonus: These bulbs are more natural, so they are perfect for makeup application!) Read More »

We’ve all heard about Asshole McPerv’s recent legal snafus, and apparently, he’s paying for them—with jail time.

All the money in the world couldn’t save Joe ‘Douchbag’ Francis from spending the first part of spring cooped up in a cell, and I guess the orange jumpsuit life isn’t suiting him at all.

“He can’t sleep. He hasn’t eaten properly. He’s prone to anxiety attacks” claims Francis’s laywer, “He came back to his cell from a (lawyer) visit (this past week) and was told that he wouldn’t get his Xanax pill because he’d missed the medication cart that day. He went into a full-blown anxiety attack.”

May I be the first one to start laughing hysterically? Guess Mr. ‘Girls Gone Wild’ isn’t as cool as everybody thought. Guess Mr. ‘Girls Gone Wild’ is just as prissy as the chicks he feeds alcohol to until they undress themselves for a camera. He must have been so busy making poor man’s porn that he missed the memo that clearly explains how jail is not a vacation.

I’m sure he’ll get out too early and pay his way into a quick trial, but for every day he’s behind bars, I smile a little wider. Let this be a lesson to assholes everywhere: eventually, it’s all gonna catch up to you, and when it does, ain’t nothin’ gonna save your butt from feeling the burn of Karma’s payback.
