Let’s Put An End To These Fashion Faux Pas!
By now, we’re all familiar with the fashion atrocities committed by the male population. No, sweaty dude, that mesh tank top does not look good on you. Or anyone, really. But women are not free from errors – actually, considering our traditional involvement with fashion, we make rather more mistakes.
I Heart Saved By The Bell
When I was in elementary school, life was simple. I spent my time divided between the playground at school and my living room couch. Yeah, there might have been some school involved, but nothing was important as my shows: Step By Step, Family Matters, Full House, and Saved By The Bell.

The Fat Camp Chronicles: If You’re Not Sore, You’re Not Working Hard Enough
Having now survived a full week of fat camp, I think I can safely say that I probably have never worked as hard in my life as I have since I got here. I’m incredibly out of shape (which adds to the difficulty), and it’s been a big change for me. It’s been a good change, however; I needed to get out of my comfort zone.
The Doctor Is In: OMG, Am I Preggers?
Q: My period is irregular every month. Sometimes it comes 6 weeks apart and other times it can be up to 9. I am not on birth control (can’t handle the side effects) and practice safe sex with my boyfriend. The problem is that I get freaked out every month that I’m pregnant.
Three is Most Definitely a Crowd
There’s a reason kids on tricycles get their asses kicked; no one likes a third wheel. Yet time and time again, as coupled people attempt to prove that they have not fallen victim to the anti-social-eat-Chinese-food-while-cuddling-on-the-couch behavior long associated with relationships, you somehow end up third-wheeling it up night after night.
That’s It. The World Is Doomed.
After a ragin’ CollegeCandy party last night, at which I stopped counting my drinks after my fifth Mojito (or was that #6..), I woke up this morning feeling like I was run over by a truck. Turns out, it wasn’t a truck that hit me, but a revolving door. When I walked into it. With my face.
Go Ahead, Be A Negative Nancy!
Lately, it seems like the whole freakin’ world has been on a self-help kick. In recent years, the $11 billion dollar industry has flourished. It’s provided us with “miracle” books like The Secret and an array of self-proclaimed internet self-help gurus (or trust fund babies with pink hair and Daddy’s cash?) like Gala Darling.

Makeup 101: Prepare for the Transition into Fall
Usually I hate when things happen ahead of season, like when Halloween stuff starts popping up in August, or when Christmas decorations are everywhere in September. In general it is just plain wrong. I don’t need a blow up outdoor Santa snow globe before Halloween has even passed. Actually, I don’t need one of those at all. Ever.
Candy Dish: Kanye West Is Douchier Than We Thought
• What’s the latest out of his mouth?
• Oh, Mel Gibson. What happened to you?
• Wanna get fat? Eat this.
• Well, that’s one way to get out of church…
• Jessica Simpson sticks her stiletto in her mouth.
• You ready for some Kristen Cavillari??
Sexy Time: Condoms and Commitment
Whatever happened to “no glove, no love”? These days, forgoing condoms is practically considered proof of love … but intentionally unprotected sex isn’t merely a practice exclusive to the betrothed or married.
Candy Dish: Everyone Hates Megan Fox!
• Do guys hate her, too?!
• We hate you, Tiffani Thiessen.
• Blue M&Ms could save your life.
• Jessica Simpson gets (skinny) revenge!
• Is your workout killing the environment?
• Cute neon. For cheap.
The Rival Rundown: Harvard vs. Yale
Welcome to a brand-new College Candy feature: The Rival Rundown! We’ll be taking a look at the oldest, fiercest, and even funniest rivalries between colleges and universities all over the country. We’re going to be examining everything from mascots to mess halls to the most obnoxious traditions, all with the intent of determining which schools are ballin’ out of control.
Sure, They May Look Hot…
Let’s be honest, there is no one hotter in Hollywood right now than Adrian Grenier, Robert Pattinson (droooool), Gerard Butler and Jeremy Piven. Seeing these guys on screen makes my heart hurt, because I know deep down that never in my life will I have the chance to meet them, let alone see them in the buff.
