Project Runway Rundown: I Got Clothes In Different Area Codes
Much like my relationship with pie (love the pie…hate the 3 hours I spend in the gym after eating it), I am experiencing a bit of a love/hate with Irina. On the one hand, she’s a Jew (and a proud one, flaunting it in all its blingin’ glory) and we Jews gotta stick together. If we don’t support our own people, who will?
Candy Dish: Jessica Simpson’s Got a New Man
• Who is Jessica Simpson dating now?
• Are women getting shorter and plumper?
• Well, that’s gonna be one gorgeous little girl.
• Jessica and Justin – are they or aren’t they??
• Jimmy Choo is finally coming to H&M.
• Madonna loves Glee as much as we do.

Coupled. Where Do We Go From Here?
I came into college with a well thought-out plan of what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to go to film school, live in Los Angeles, be a writer for television and maybe one day direct movies.
I never figured a boyfriend into my whole equation.
Fashion Porn: Hat Orgy
The leaves are starting to change and the temperature is starting to drop, bringing in the season of hot- cocoa-and-tv-nights and cute, cozy clothes. While layering sweaters and scarves might seem like a no-brainer, there is another way to ensure you stay warm. And chic.
With a hat.
Some Idiot’s Bright Idea: Let’s Cancel Summer
A US Senator, Lamar Alexander (yes, please send him nasty letters and kick him on the street), stated in a recent Newsweek Article that “an educational schedule of 3 months of summer is not relevant in today’s world and [college] students should take more credit hours and graduate in 3 years, saving 25% in tuition costs.”
The Doctor Is In: I’m a Hairy Beast
Q: A few months ago I was sitting with my BF and he thought I had something on my cheek. He went to pull it off and…it was a long, dark hair….growing out of my face. I was mortified, but figured it was a one-time deal. But now I’m finding these hairs popping up more often. They are dark and big and show up on my cheek and neck. Do I have too much testosterone or something? Is this fixable??
Take The Fat Out of Fast Food
It is my firmest belief that fast-food restaurants should be listed as one of America’s deadliest sins. But because I can’t say no to a good drive-thru, I decided to figure out the healthiest options to order in hopes of keeping obesity at bay. And it’s surprisingly not that hard to find healthy options at grease pits these days.

Celebrity Alcohol: Makes Me Sick Twice as Quick
Here’s an analogy for you, try to channel those SAT study sheets. (Ew I know, worst memory ever.) Intellectual is to Bookstore as College Student is to __________.
Yes, the answer is liquor store.
Makeup 101: Save Your Skin from Winter Weather
The cool days are officially starting, and here at Syracuse that means the cold days are just around the corner. I can just feel the winter depression setting in, and my skin feels the same way. My hands are already dry and eczema is surfacing. Yeah, I think that definitely makes someone wanna hold my hand…if that someone also happens to have winter lizardy skin.
Candy Dish: Uh Oh, Lil Wayne!
• Lil Wayne’s going to the big house.
• Chris Brown hits the road.
• Wanna get rid of those cramps?
• John Mayer just wants to get stoned.
• What has MTV done for women?
• Entourage goes XXX? Sign me up!
Sexy Time: Make a Move!
My roommate has recently become obsessed with the new Weezer song and she’s constantly shouting, “Girl, If you’re wondering if I want you to, I want you to,  so make a move, (Make a move) ‘cos I ain’t got all night.” This has led me to some contemplation on how hard it actually is to make a move on someone, and how annoying and awkward it can be while you’re waiting for them to make a move on you.
Candy Dish: Is Britney Getting Married?
• Brit Brit might be taking another walk down the aisle.
• Everyone wants Kate Gosselin deets.
• The anatomy of a cocktail ring.
• Bachelor Jason Mesnick finally makes his choice.
• Subtle hints that guys just don’t get.
• Is Rosie O’Donnell a single lady?
The Rival Rundown: Florida vs. Florida State
I live in NY, where it has gotten really. effing. cold. Naturally I’ve been dreaming of what life would have been like had I gone to school in a more temperate climate where you can tailgate in flip flops. Such is the way things go in the Sunshine State, where the University of Florida and Florida State University have, quite literally, one of the hottest rivalries around.
Ask A Dude: Can I Call Him?
Hey Dude, Could you clue me into “boy world”? I have been told (thank you He’s Just Not That Into You and pretty much every romance book and movie out there) that the guy needs to do the asking. So we very impatient girls need to give out our numbers and take theirs and then not call them.
Forget Sugar – White Wine Will Rot Your Teeth
White wine is actually worse for your teeth than red. White wine is high in acid, and that can wear away tooth enamel and intensify the stains left by the double espresso you slammed at the library the night before.
You Can Recycle More Than Just Beer Cans
We live in a world of disposable everything. Cups, plastic bags, razors, boyfriends; you name it, you can find it in a disposable form. And although this makes our lives terribly easy, it also makes our landfills terribly full. By just being a tad more conscious of your recycling options, you can make a huge difference with relatively minimal effort.
