Saturday Read: My Name is Memory (Plus an Interview with Author, Ann Brashares!)
I’ve been a fan of Ann Brashares for a decade. “The Sisterhood” series is one of my favorites and practically defines my young adolescence. So, when the opportunity to interview Ann Brashares and review her new book “My Name is Memory” came up, I jumped at the chance! I’m still in shock that I had an actual conversation with one of my favorite authors.
From CollegeFashion: How To Get Beach Babe Hair
A beach babe can’t be beachy without rocking wavy hair! As much as I would love to hit the beach every day (and therefore get beachy-wavy hair), most of us, myself included, don’t have the resources or time to do so! So here are some tips to help you create perfect beach waves without a trip to the seashore.

Gossip Cheat Sheet: Weddings and Photos and… Kidnappings?!
Yikes! It’s been a crazy week! We had a wedding, some engagements, and a divorce (with some possible cheating in the forecast). Plus, Perez is in trouble and a fallen star was kidnapped?? It wouldn’t be Hollywood if it didn’t keep us entertained!
Single. Not Needy
Needy. Ugh. That one word can make any guy run for miles, and being labeled as such is every girl’s worst nightmare. It’s funny in the movies; we can all ROTFL when a character leaves a guy seventeen voicemails in a row (“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”) or assumes that an invite to a party is a declaration of love (“He’s Just Not That Into You”), but the reason it is so funny is because it’s based in some very real, very painful truth.
The Nick Lachey Effect
You know it’s true: there’s always that one guy at school who’s so hot you think he was some secret Brad Pitt/Angelina love child. Where did he come from? How is he so perfect? Does he have a single brother? Wait, WHAT? THAT’S HIS BROTHER?! How is that even possible? How are they related? Do they have different dads?
Budget Stylista: Tote Your Stuff in Style
Summer means beach. Beach means sunscreen, snacks, beach reads, magazines, a towel, a wallet, two pairs of sunglasses (you need some smaller ones so you don’t get those ridonk tan lines), a change of clothes, more snacks… Basically, a whole lot of crap.
WTF Friday: Joe Barton Loves Oil, Hates the Planet
OK, so here’s the scoop. There’s a massive oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico right now. It’s wreaking havoc on the planet, on the economy, and harming really cute birds and turtles and other things that live in the ocean. And BP has thus far been unable to stop it.

The Internet is Making Me Angry: My 5 Online Pet Peeves
While I love the Internet for giving us Facebook, AIM and the ninja way of downloading music without getting caught, there are still some things about going online and the web that I could do without. I’ve noticed that since I’ve been going on the web 24/7 for work and internships, I’ve been getting angry.
The CC Weekly Weigh In: Awkward Work Moments
This past Halloween my friends and I decided to put on our costumes early and head over to a bar to watch some college football. Fast forward to 3pm: I’m drunk, dressed up as Rainbow Bright and smoking cigarettes on the street while my male friend jokingly shoved his hand up my skirt. Nothing too out of the ordinary…until a business associate happened to walk by. And recognize me.

Duke It Out: Porn
Having gone to a liberal arts college in NYC, it really wasn’t any big surprise to me that a) there were exactly four straight males in my entire school b) there were a lot of “angry feminist” types hanging around in any class even vaguely related to gender or romance. As such, I got to sit through a lot of empowering vs degrading arguments about everything from Voltaire to Batman, and you wanna know what topic comes up the most often? Porn.

Coupled. And Making The World A Better Place
About 3 weeks ago, David and I were laying in bed on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, nursing epic hangovers from a Happy Hour that lasted far too many hours. After eating an entire pizza and deciding we were too lazy even to go rent a movie, we channel surfed, trying to find something we could both agree on. Naturally we settled on a marathon of Flip This House (can anyone ever get enough of Armando Montelongo? C’mon, just saying his name puts me in a great mood).
Fashion Porn: Black and White Get it On!
With so many summer colors and patterns to choose from this year, it’s hard to know what to pair them with. While you could pair the bright yellows, pretty pastels or the super popular turquoise with denim, khaki or another solid neutral, the bold black and white prints available this season are a more interesting way to go.
10 A-List Celebrity Dating Shows That Need to Happen Now
The Bachelor’s been on so long that it’s starting to look more dated and more scripted than the always-classy Blind Date series of the ’90s. Dating shows in general have become boring and stale. Because, let’s be honest, no one wants to watch one more good-looking-average-Joe go on dates. No, we want to watch full-fledged A-list celebrities who spend more time in tabloids than in the movies and on stage find true love.
