Intro to Cooking: Chipotle Mayonnaise
Chipotle has become one of those super hip ingredients you find in everything it seems, right up there with pomegranate, and for very good reason: it’s frickin delicious. Smoky and hot, it adds a killer flavor to anything it touches, and this spread is no exception. It’s magical.
Summer Fashion Trend: Nude Skirts
Nude is one of the hottest colors of this summer. The nude skirt is definitely an “it” item, as seen in the collections of designers like Phillip Lim (left, Style.com), Brian Reyes (center, Style.com), and Catherine Holstein (right, for sale at Saks.com). But where can you find this trend?

Sock Dreams: A Sexy Sock Shop for You
Want something hot to spice up your boring old outfits? I have just the thing for you: socks. Wait a second, now; just hear me out. Shoes have traditionally taken first prize in the category of coveted women’s footwear, but take a gander at Sock Dreams and tell me that socks aren’t far behind.
Beach Bums: Lose The Speedos, Dudes
The beach is wonderful. It is the symbol of summer. In fact, most of my childhood memories of that glorious 3-month-long stretch of nothingness are of living in my swimsuit and being constantly covered in sand with wet hair. Ah, the good ‘ole days (except when that pesky salt water got in my eyes)…
Saturday Read: Hot House Flower and the Nine Plants of Desire by Margot Berwin
I recently received this book from Wiley publishers and, admittedly, was drawn to it because of the spectacular cover art. Beautiful flowers, bright colors – how could I resist! I then read the reviews and learned that Julia Roberts just bought the movie rights and, needless to say, “Hot House Flower” jumped to the top of my reading list.

The Weekly Wrap Up: Bring On July!
It’s been a busy week of jumping through puddles and praying that the sun will come out tomorrow. Or, I don’t know, yesterday? But a new month starts next week, and so does a new fresh start to the beloved season.

The Booty Call I Won’t Call
A few months ago, while visiting the parentals for break, I hooked up with a friend of a friend. And it was awesome. He was hot, he was funny, and he had a visible six-pack. Yes, that was the first visible six-pack I’d ever boom boomed with, so it was pretty magical.
G.W.W.E.: Robert “Bite Me” Pattinson
adies, do you like a good nibble during a makeout sesh? Do you get off on the idea of escaping from the perils of public life into seclusion with your hunk? Do you get hot for precariously messy coifs? If you said ‘yes!’ to all of these questions, and can stand the sight of blood without fainting, Robert Pattinson may be the boy-toy for you.
Will Work (It) For Fritos
Sue Smith a 36-year-old woman from Oklahoma, agreed to accept a box of Frito-Lay chips in exchange for oral sex. John Faron Johnson, a Frito-Lay employee who participated in this trade, didn’t have money but she agreed to do the deed anyway, as long as she got her hands on those chips.
Budget Stylista: Fourth of July FAB
The 4th of July. An excuse to drink beer, dress up in festive clothes and eat late-night salty munchies… all day. Sounds like a typical college weekend and it is oh-so-welcomed after 2 months of spending our weekend nights at home with our parents playing Scrabble. But what to wear?
WTF Friday: Perez Hilton Is An A-Hole
Ok, so it’s no surprise that Perez is a dick, but this is just too much. It’s one thing to claim celebs have drug problems – it’s quite another to speak this way about such a serious topic. If you didn’t want to punch Perez in the face before, what do you think now?
Celebretard Showdown: Mariah Carey vs. Jennifer Lopez
Everyone loves a diva. Well, not really. They just think that everyone loves them, despite having no real talent or anything to offer to society. When you say “diva,” two women jump to mind – Mariah Carey and Jenifer Lopez. The glitz, the glamor, the bad acting and the attitude (ohhh the attitude) define who they are.
