So I think we all know what this post is going to be about.

On Sunday I sat down with my plate of nachos to watch the opening of the best commercials of the year the Super Bowl, only to find Christina Aguilera messing up the words to the national anthem. I had a good chuckle, and then went to get some potato skins. By half time, I was over it. But the rest of the world, apparently, was not. So I’m just going to say what needs to be said.

LEAVE. THE. GIRL. ALONE. AND. GET. OVER. IT.

Christina is not the first public figure to mess up the Star Spangled Banner, and she won’t be the last, either. In 1990 at a Padres’ game, Roseann spit and grabbed her crotch as she sang. R. Kelly butchered this sacred song at a boxing match. And in 2003 at Fenway Park, Michael Bolton actually stopped singing to consult his notes during the very same part that Christina messed up.

I have cried more times in the bra aisle than any human ever should. You name the store, I’ve probably been reduced to tears: H&M, Target, Victoria’s Secret (this could go on for a while). I’ve spent years trying to understand why all the beautiful bras halt at a size B.

I still can’t figure out why a store like Victoria’s Secret, who base all their advertising on women with luscious big breasts, doesn’t carry most lingerie in their stores above a C. Am I missing something here?

It’s all routed in a vicious cycle of girls wanting what they can’t have. I’ve always heard my smaller-chested friends whining about wanting bigger boobs when I and my more endowed friends begged for smaller ones. And I’m not even one of those poor girls that has to shop above the A-D range (bless your heavy-chested hearts), so why has it always been so hard? Well, thanks to online shopping and places like BareNecessities.com, we can find beautiful bras, like this one from Felina, for a fantastic price in a wide range of sizes, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Honestly, the first thing I noticed about this bra was the price. Almost half of what Victoria’s Secret charges for their bras and the sizes range from a B-DDD. Am I the only one who didn’t know a triple D existed? Things get a little fuzzy for me after the D mark, but this bra is perfect if you hover around that size. And for a bonus – if the size you picked doesn’t fit just right, the site will pay for your shipping to exchange it. Both ways. Read More »

Guess marijuana DOES have some bad effects

I think it’s safe to assume that after a few years of sexual activity, most people have a few “oh god” stories of bedroom disasters. These are the ones that make it into the “it doesn’t count” category. You know, when something happens that, you know, just shouldn’t have happened.

When you throw two naked and probably a little awkward (or drunk) young adults into a bed together, hilarity and embarrassing moments are sure to ensue. We’ve all experienced it, hell, we may have even been the perpetrators of some unappealing bedroom behavior.

So here it is, a list of the most frequently committed bedroom faux pas to be avoided by everyone. We all know accidents can happen, but let’s do our best to avoid them, shall we? Read More »

Spring break is a single gal’s sport. Seriously. Look at any “What Not to Bring on Spring Break” list ever created and “boyfriend” will be at the top of that list, just below homework, and right above clothes. Instead, this is a week that should be spent with your gal pals. With your BFFs. You should spend it sipping fruity drinks you’ve never heard of by the pool, and wearing impractical heels at the hotel bar. You should spend it with your friends.

Just, maybe not of your friends.

You love them to death (sort of), but there are just some girls you really rather not spend the week with. It’s not so much that they’ll ruin your break, as it is that they will ruin your break.

When it comes time for Spring Break, leave these girls at home.

Dear Dude,

I’m in my first year of college, and there’s this one guy in one of my classes that I like. We aren’t what I’d call friends yet, but I’m working on the whole ‘getting to know him’ thing. So one night last week, he, I, and a couple of friends from the class went for a drink. We were discussing hair, and I was recounting a bad haircut received in my earlier youth. He replied ‘well, your hair looks really great now; you’re one of the most attractive girls on our course.’

…WTF, Dude!? I nearly choked on my drink! It literally came out of nowhere. I figured I’d just continue the becoming friends process, with few flirtations here and there. I must admit, however, I am completely terrible at flirting (I have never consciously flirted with somebody, let ALONE had a boyfriend) but I tried my best, and I thought I was getting some positive feedback…. He calls me sweetheart, I thought there was a bit of the eye contact flirty thing going on, there’s been a few more compliments, and he’s invited me to a few places. (Although with friends.)

A few days ago, we went out to a club, and I thought here was where something could potentially happen if we were all drinking. (That’s the way we all do it, right?)  Alcohol flowing through my veins, I attempted once more to be friendly, and sorta danced with him…. and…..nada. He didn’t reel back in horror, but I didn’t get the reaction I was hoping for. Same sorta thing as before, but nothing incredibly obvious. Disheartened, I tried to cover myself the day after, and blamed the alcohol.

Have I completely jumped the gun here? Because in my book (however limited) guys don’t tell girls they’re the most attractive girl in their class (which isn’t true, we have a professional model in or midst for goodness sake!) unless they’re into them.

I’ve asked my guy and girl friends for advice, and opinions on the matter are firmly divided. Some think he in into me, others think he was just paying me a friendly compliment. (Even when we weren’t really friends!) So…what should I do? Am I reading too much into this? Is he into me? What the heck is going on in this boy’s head?!

Sincerely,
Mindf*cked Read More »

[Check out the first motivational kicks in the ass for a Kick Ass Valentine's Day right here and here.]

Whether you are single or taken, it all plays out the same: in disappointment that someone else has let you down yet again.  Why not get down to what Valentine’s Day is really about – love – and instead of waiting for someone else to make you happy, why not do it yourself?  What do you LOVE to do?  What makes you happy?  You know what your needs are, you know how they need to be met, so go ahead and be your own attentive little date and take care of yourself.

Jenny Jen from Blonde Bronzed Twenty-something thinks this is the approach we should all take. And if others want to do something kind and generous for us all-too worthy ladies too, then that’s just the icing on the Valentine’s Day cake. Read More »

We are all aware of Tom Cruise’s involvement with the Church of Scientology. We are also all aware of how weird that is. I bet you’re not aware of just how weird it really is.

For those of you who are not Scientology experts, here’s a quick rundown of what they believe:

1) You’re an immortal being. Like vampires. Just not as cool.

2) In order to be a part of this church, you have to make bank. Because it costs mucho dinero to be ‘religiously connected.’

3) While you’re also an immortal being, you’ve also been reincarnated several times now. Plus, your past souls or lives have lived on other planets. Like Mars. Read More »

[Sarabeth here, back with some more jams to add to your iTunes library! Every Wednesday, I'm bringing you music suggestions - could be something new, old, hugely popular or fairly unknown -  to awesome-ify your  collection.]

To be honest, I’ve always been a little torn about Valentine’s Day. For me it’s kind of like communism; while great in theory, it almost never works in the execution. Considering last year I got two Snickers bars from my now-ex (gee, I wonder why), I don’t have high hopes for Valentine’s Day, but I’m not a complete Cupid-hater either. I’m still a sucker for love.

So for those who are like me, or for those of you who have plans with a significant other, this week’s album is for you: Belle and Sebastian Write About Love.

About the Band:
Belle and Sebastian is an indie pop band from Scotland who got their name from a French children’s book. While a lot of people think they’re a duet, it’s actually a seven member band consisting of Stuart Murdoch, Stevie Jackson, Chris Geddes, Richard Colburn, Sarah Martin, Mick Cooke, and Bobby Kildea.
