I wouldn’t exactly say it’s a coincidence that these new Camelflage panties came out just as the number of camel toes seems to be rising at an exponential rate. They’re everywhere! At the MTV movie awards, standing next to me on the subway – heck, at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw a few on the soccer field at the World Cup this Saturday.

And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what’s to blame for all this camel toe chaos. It’s those freakin’ rompers and jumpsuits everyone seems to love so much! One could easily take a cheap shot at Lady Gaga and blame her for popularizing these vag-hugging-suits that are now plaguing Miley, Xtina, Rihanna, Katy Perry etc. but I will do no such thing! I think everyone’s forgetting the days of Britney’s red catsuit from the “Oops I Did it Again” video. Why not point a finger in that pleathery direction?

After spending the last 45 minutes of my life looking at pictures of celebrity’s camel toes, it’s really starting to make me self-conscious. Does the plastic jumpsuit I keep in my closet for those very special occasions (read: Halloween and weddings) similarly reveal a definable outline of my lady parts? Or how about those jeggings I throw on when I can’t seem to fit into my skinny jeans? Do they too expose a frontal wedgie (A.K.A. a fredgie)?

Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to invest in a pair of camelflaging panties. And while I’m at it, perhaps I should pick up a few pairs for these revealing Hollywood ladies. I’m pretty sure I’d get some sort of Nobel Prize for my contribution to society. Read More »

The casting call reads, “Holler if you’re blue collar!”

In a move that could only come from the minds behind Jersey Shore, TMZ is reporting that a new series featuring the best in beer bellies, jorts, and John Deere hats will be coming to a television near you.  You’ve heard me right; Party Down South (they need to work on that title) is looking for twelve lucky rednecks to wave the rebel flag and disgrace the South in all ways possible.

Jersey Shore brought us new, orange-tinted reality stars that left us asking why they were suddenly famous (not to mention the advent of poofs, fist pumps, hair gel, spray tans, and senseless nicknames).  Am I alone in wondering what this new crop of southern imports will bring to prime time television?  Excuse me while I allow my mind to drift to all the horrors about to beset “normal” society…

1.  Just how many racist jokes can one audience handle before these new stars’ trailer homes get torched? I know it’s going to happen, you know it’s going to happen.  Someone will bring a white hood and suddenly the guy who punched Snooki looks like a saint.  It’s a sad, pathetic fact, but if it’s rednecks these casting people want, it’s rednecks they’ll get.

I’m not gonna lie, I’m in a funk today. After last night’s epic Glee finale, I just don’t know how to go on. I could barely get out of bed this morning and I’ve already eaten half a bag of Sun Chips (why is the new bag so loud?!) and a Twix bar. And on top of that, my best friend’s boyfriend of four years kicked her to the curb.

The kicker? I’m friends with him, too.

Spending the evening crying with her and trying to understand what the eff that boy was thinking and then spending this morning with him crying to me on the phone, I started thinking about breakups and how difficult they are for everyone involved. Sure, to many there’s nothing worse than getting dumped, but what about breaking someone else’s heart? That can’t be a walk in the park.

So I want to see what you have to say about all this:

Would you rather be the dumper or the dumpee? Read More »

I think I blinked three times during the entire 147 minute showcase of Sex and the City 2.  I didn’t want to miss a single drool-worthy second of high fashion, I couldn’t stop fathoming how well Aiden had aged and I didn’t want to miss any of Carrie’s one-liner snippets of advice. And while soaking it all in, I noticed something else.

As we all know, each woman in SATC is incredibly different. You’ve got Samantha the sex-fiend, Miranda the serious one, Charlotte the traditionalist, and Carrie the un-traditionalist. They’re opposing forces, but they come together to make something wonderful and long lasting.

Without the extreme diversity of each woman, would the friendships embedded in Sex and the City be as interesting and strong? What if the show was based off of four friends like Samantha? Besides there being lots of ‘she-banging’ would it work?

Nope.

Think about your group of friends. If it’s anything like mine, you are all very different from one another. And that’s why you love them. We need diversity in our friendships because everyone brings a little somethin’ different to the table and you take a little from every single one. Knowing what every college girl needs in her life, I’ve compiled a list of the 6 friends every girl needs to keep around for the long haul: Read More »

Who or what inspires your style? Many of us use Hollywood A-listers (like Diablo Cody) or movie characters (like Annie Hall) as style inspiration, even though, most of the time, they are being dressed from head to toe by the best stylists.

Which we don’t have.

And sometimes it’s damn near impossible to work their Hollywood looks into our not-so-Hollywood lives. I’ve made it my mission to tap into the mind of a fashion stylist and show you how to take your style inspiration – whatever it may be – and make it more you!

Sometimes in this (awesome) summer heat, the last thing on our minds isn’t what else we can add to an outfit to showcase our style, but how many layers we can remove without flashing too much skin or, worse, a nipple. And if I had to name one person who balances this all out perfectly, it’s Sanoe Lake.

Not familiar with her? Well, this part-surfer part-actress is part-Japanese, part-English and part-Hawaiian, the perfect combo for her breakout role in Blue Crush. (Which, like to admit it or not, you know you stop to watch when it’s on TNT on a Saturday.) In the movie, you don’t get to see much of Sanoe’s style as she’s either wearing a hotel maid uniform or rocking her bathing suits (and the occasional board-short).  But off the movie set, Sanoe takes her cool, laid-back surfer style with her, which makes for some pretty gnarly (in a good way) style. She’s a surfer girl from the waves to the street, and she does it well. Read More »

Christina Aguilera is used to applause. A performer since childhood, Aguilera has sold nearly 50 million albums worldwide and won four Grammys — one for each of her three studio albums and a group performance prize for her participation in the hit ‘Lady Marmalade.’

Of late, however, Aguilera has been the subject of some rather vicious criticism. Her fourth album, ‘Bionic,’ hit store yesterday, and the record and Aguilera’s promotion of it have put the 29-year-old singer in the media cross-hairs. It seems she can’t do much of anything right; early reviews for ‘Bionic’ have been mostly tepid, her first single tanked and she can’t even get dressed without being accused of ripping off other artists — Lady Gaga and Madonna, in particular.

(While media critics aren’t too keen on it, fans who have already heard the album are giving it a 7.6 rating out of 10 on Metacritic.) Read More »

It took every fiber of my being not to fall asleep during last night’s episode of The Hills. And not because I only slept for four hours on Monday night after an outdoor beer pong tournament went a little longer than expected. That sh*t was just boring. Boooooring. I swear, an 8am Bio lecture would have been more riveting than whatever happened (or did not happen) on The Hills.

Not that I shouldn’t have expected it. When the show started with Kristin and Stacy talking in a salon while two random stylists just sorta moved their hair around, I should have known I was in for a snoozer.

Now that Speidi’s out of the picture (and busy with their “divorce”), MTV’s really scraping the bottom of the drama barrel. You know you’ve got problems when the return of Justin Bobby and his combat boots is the most exciting thing going on. It seems those producers searched high and low for an exciting storyline to round out the final season…. And then gave up. I can only imagine what that production meeting was like. Read More »

[There are over 100 million sites on the Internet. 100 million! You might think you know about all the important ones (CollegeCandy, Gmail, Google, TFLN…), but there are thousands of other sweet sites out there (like Any Clip, Live Mocha, and ThredUP) and more showing up every day! We get it – it’s not easy or fun sifting through the crap and porn to find those gems, so we’re gonna bring the gems to you. Just sit back, kick up those feet and allow us to introduce you to the diamonds in the internet rough.]

I’ve always dreamed of having my own personal shopper or stylist.  Don’t get me wrong, I loooove to shop, but searching through racks and racks of clothes to find something I like can get exhausting, especially with those overly perky sales people breathing down my neck. And it might be nice to sometimes have things picked out for me by somebody else.  Too bad that dream is unlikely to ever become a reality (that is, unless I win the lottery).  Or, at least that’s what I thought before I found out about Covet, a free site that works as your very own online personal shopper.

How does it work?

The first step is the Stylyzer™.  You are shown a series of two pictures of celebrity looks at a time, and you simply choose which is closer to your individual style for each pair.  Once you’ve answered quite a few of these questions, you can continue on to create your style profile.  You can also choose to answer more questions regarding your clothing and shoe sizes, brands you love and hate, and your price range for each product category.  There’s even the option to specify specific types, colors, or patterns of clothing you don’t like so that you won’t get those suggested to you.

Which Hollywood heartthrob got naughty at Elle?

18 super women you should get to know.

The Kristen Stewart lesbian rumors begin to swirl.

There are some things women should never forgive.

Everyone’s goin’ neon with the nails this season.

A few ways to eat yourself beautiful.

I have a confession: I cannot cook to save my life.  If someone was to ask me what my specialty dishes were, my answer would be cereal and half-burnt toast.  I know I’m not the only one out there who suffers from “I’d rather just call for take out” disease.  But despite my kitchen (er….top-of-my-mini-fridge) shortcomings, I’m 100% obsessed with The Food Network.

Some people say it’s because it’s edited like porn (which makes me feel a bit dirty), but I just can’t get enough. There’s just always something to watch and drool over. And you never have to know what happened on a previous episode of Giada to enjoy whatever she’s cooking up this time (like homemade churros? OMG.) Whether its an episode of Mario Batali and his perfect gnocchi between classes, or a full day Food Network Challenge marathon – sugar showpieces, anyone? – The Food Network is my TV go-to. And now that it’s summer and all my favorite network TV shows are over for the year (until Jersey Shore starts in July…), I’m ever so grateful for my BFFs at TFN. They’re cooking up some delicious summer TV, which means I’ll have plenty to do on rainy days and too-sunburnt-t0-move nights. Read More »
