Candy Dish: Black Friday Will Kill You

Seriously. Wal-mart shoppers trampled and killed an employee.

Michael Phelps bring his GF home to mama.

Carry your lunch in (super cute) style!

Make your hair look 10 years younger! 

Old people aren’t so safe about sex. 

Milo Ventimiglia is better than sweeter than pumpkin pie. 

Jessica Simpson is anti-bras, apparently.

He’s Just Not That Into You, the movie.

Creative ideas for downing those leftovers. 


The Weekly Wrap Up: We’re Stuffed Like a Turkey

tired_baby-whew.jpgWhat a week! Between Heidi and Spencer’s “spontaneous wedding,” the surfacing of some scary pro-anorexia support groups on Facebook, and the arrival of yet another frigid winter, we couldn’t wait for the weekend to come. And by “weekend” we mean Thanksgiving, only the best holiday of all time.

Upon arriving at home to a comfy bed, clean shower, and lots of home cookin’, we immediately headed out to the bar to enjoy the Biggest Bar Night of the Year. We are using the term “enjoy” loosely, of course, because the evening was really just a night of awkward conversation and not enough alcohol. (Funny, that sounds a lot like Thanksgiving dinner when our bf met our parents.)

We loaded up on the carbs at Thanksgiving dinner to prepare for today’s Black Friday shopping spree, and besides a few broken nails and a black eye (on that bitch who tried to grab the last Flip Cam),  things turned out OK.  We came home with the perfect gift for our roommates, got some hot new jeans, and a really cute scarf to cover the hickey our BF left on the most obvious part of our neck.

Now it’s time to enjoy the rest of the weekend…and all the Thanksgiving leftovers.


G.W.W.E.: Barack “Oh Baby” Obama

barack-obama.jpg(We’re back with another weekly installment of G.W.W.E [Guys We Want to Eff] and this week we are goin’ all the way to the top. Yes, ladies, we are takin’ it to the Oval Office, a place we have been fantasizing about for years. Barack Obama was a sexy law student, a sexy political organizer, a sexy senator, and now he is our sexy Presidente. His brains, bod and power are the perfect combination and make us wanna eff him on that big oak desk.)

I voted for Obama. Not because he was the hotter of the two candidates, but those pictures of him in a bathing suit didn’t hurt his cause. My love for Obama, however, runs deeper than simply his abilities to lead our country out of this current financial mess.

I think he’s hot. And if Michelle weren’t in the picture, I’d totally eff him.

He’s got everything I look for in a man. He’s smart (Harvard Law School grad), he’s a family man, he’s powerful, he can dance, he’s a great speaker, and he loves to play sports. He also happens to have some roots in the midwest, which just makes him a perfectly effable catch.

And he looks damn good in a suit.

Barack Obama has inspired people worldwide with his message of change and proved that anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it.

Is it so bad that turns me on? And that while he may be a bit busy at the moment (dealing with the American Automaker crisis and nominating people like Rob Namors, Peter Orszag and Hillary Clinton to his cabinet) I still wouldn’t mind sneaking into his office for a little eff sesh between meetings?

What? His time management skills are just another reason I want to eff him.


The Perfect Gift for the Man (or Men) in Your Life!

vagina-hero-boxart.jpgThey say it is better to give than to receive, but what about giving in order to receive? Yeah, yeah; that goes against the spirit of the holidays, but as long as you are giving there is nothing wrong with gettin’ a little something in return, is there?

Like this game, which, unlike Guitar Hero, teaches boys an actually useful skill: pleasuring a woman.

Giving this is a gift is a total win/win. Your guy – who is obsessed with video games – gets a new toy to play with and a girlfriend who encourages him to do so. You get some much needed satisfaction in the bedroom.

Ok, so it’s not real, but how amazing would it be if it were? Just imagine coming home from class to find your guy and his friends playing in the living room; who cares if he just wasted six hours playing the game? He’s practicing for you! And instead of some dumb game where he lives out his fantasies of being a rock star, your man would be spending his time practicing a skill that is actually necessary in his day to day life!

Guys need some help when it comes to our nether regions; guiding them doesn’t seem to work and watching porn just makes everything worse. An instructional (and entertaining) video game seems like the best solution. This is definitely on my wish list this season.


Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Katie Holmes Mom Haircut leads her to Mom Website, Leads her to Fabulous Find.

katie_holmes1.jpg[Every week our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities are spending $5,000 on an ensemble, you don’t have to.

All you have to do is click on the goods and - boom - you can buy the entire ensemble. Yes, we know; there is a spot for her in heaven.]

Lately, Katie holmes style has been reminding me of a mixture between my brothers and my mom…circa 1992. Baggie Jeans, a mom haircut – I’m sort of on the fence about it all. And by on the fence, I obviously mean never buying into the trend. Ever.

But, every now and again, I find myself loving a piece of hers, writing it off as “in my dreams,” or “when I win the lottery.” Between her paychecks from Dawson’s Creek syndication and her husband being – um – Tom Cruise, the girl has a budget of Loubitons and lavish meals, whereas I am stuck with Target finds and Ramen Noodles.

That is, until People.com revealed this jacket is only $75.00. Yes, you read that right. SEVENTY FIVE! This little slice of info made my weekly Celebrity Chic on the Cheap more like Celebrity’s Cheap and Chic finds, giving yours truly some extra time to sleep in this Thanksgiving Weekend.

So I bring you this weeks’ Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Katie Holmes’ Mom Haircut leads her to Mom Website, Leads her to Fabulous Find. Read More »


Friday WTF: Keyboard for Blondes?

keyboard.jpg

It’s pink. The delete key exclaims “Oops!” when pressed, the number keys are musical notes and dollar sign makes a “Cha Ching!” sound when you use it. The space bar is re-named the “I need my space” bar, and there are even keys for “OMG,” and “LOL.” (Because they are so hard to type out!)

Did we mention it’s pink? And that it’s $50? And that it is real!? Yes, you can really buy this for those dumb blondes in your life.

We don’t know who came up with this, but we have one question: WTF?!


The Britney Come Back Tour Continues.

Britney performed last night at the German Bambi Awards and she didn’t look drugged/scary/totally out of shape, which is a huge improvement over her last live performance at the 2007 VMAs.

You were probably chowing down on some turkey while Brit was doin’ her thang, so watch this video and let us know what you think.

Is Britney back?


The CC Weekly Weigh In: Welcome to Holiday Season!

Happy Black Friday! Are you out soaking up the sales and bitchy soccer moms Christmas Spirit at the mall? Or are you home attempting to digest the 6 pounds of food you ate last night? Maybe you are spending the day with family and friends.

Whatever you are doing, welcome to holiday season!

And the general good mood of everyone around you. We, like everyone else, loooove this time of year…and we don’t even celebrate Christmas!

What is your favorite thing about the holiday season? We asked our writers and here is what they had to say: Read More »

College Candy’s TURKEY Thursday Playlist

turkey-list.jpgIn lieu of my regular Thursday pre-game playlist, I decided to try something a little different.

Odds are most of you are relaxing at home with the fam, digesting some delicious dishes and avoiding the scale in Mom and Dad’s b-room at all costs. What goes better with relaxation and digestion than some slow Thanksgiving tunes? Lord knows you can’t jam out to this mix with Gramms and Gramps by your side.

So this playlist is a little slower and family friendly. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it with a little wine…and leftovers (or even play it during dinner!)

Enjoy the music, the food and the holiday; just make sure to take the time to really be thankful for everything you’ve got today. We are all pretty damn fortunate.

Check out the easy listening here.
