Web Spy: Bake It in a Cake

DO NOT LICK YOUR SCREEN!

[There are over 100 million sites on the Internet. 100 million! You might think you know about all the important ones (CollegeCandy, Gmail, Google, Facebook…), but there are thousands of other sweet sites out there (like College Daybreak, iConcertCal and RescueTime) 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.]

At almost any given time of day, you can turn on the TV and find a show about cake. Whether it’s Cupcake Wars, Ace of Cakes, D.C. Cupcakes or Cake Boss, all these cake-themed shows only add to our society’s reputation of being obsessed with food.

The internet is just another outlet to fuel this obsession. There are literally thousands of websites about food out there, ranging from recipe databases and cooking tutorials to sites dedicated to a particular type of food. One of my new favorite sites, Bake it in A Cake, falls into the latter category.

Sex in the News: Debunking The ‘Lesbian Until Graduation’ Myth

The Kiss – probably one of the most popular posters for college guys. I’m referring to the picture, taken by Tanya Chalkin, of two girls, lying in bed in their underwear, kissing. Yes, the one I’m sure everyone has seen at one point or another during their college career. This picture, which is said to represent the freedom and experimentation during college, is one big, fat lie.

A study by the Center of Disease Control showed that it is actually women without high school diplomas that are more likely to have same-sex experiences than women in college. Sorry boys, but 10 percent of women aged 22 to 44 with a college degree reported to having a same-sex experience as opposed to 15 percent of women lacking a high school diploma. In addition, the numbers show that the numbers are rising for women with lower educational achievements.

Can you hear that? It’s the sound of college boys’ dreams shattering into teeny, tiny bits.

This study comes years after New York Magazine released a story called “Bi for Now,” which introduced the world to the idea and allegedly budding trend of ‘lesbians until graduation’ (or as they called them, ‘hasbians’). The idea was fun, exciting and controversial so, naturally, it caught on, and soon everyone was talking about it. Before long, girl on girl experimentation was thought of as just another college expectation, like final exams or getting really drunk on your 21st birthday. Read More »

He Said/She Said: Decoding Text Messages

[He Said/She Said is a new series designed to help all our wonderfully confused readers figure out what he’s really thinking. So every week we’ll be throwing out a topic for debate…and unlike our fave dude, these guys won’t be sugar coating anything for you. But before you jump into their heads (which seriously will make you feel like you need to shower), check out what we think!]

Whenever I ask a guy for guy advice, he always says one of two things:

1. “Stop worrying about guys and just hook up with a girl….so I can watch.”
2. “Guys are not that complex. They say what they mean.”

I want to believe that (the second one; I usually just completely disregard the first one…after I smack him). I mean, he’s a guy so he should know, right? But hard as I try to take a guy’s word at face value, it’s impossible. They’re just so vague. And confusing. And what the f**k does, “whatever” mean?!?!

And that’s especially true when it comes to text messages. Read More »


Watch the One Man Disney Show

Do you love Disney movies? What about cute boys? Are you bored? Procrastinating? Desperately looking for something to do other than your poli sci homework? Well, we have something to you. Kill some time watching Nick Pitera’s Disney medley, in which he plays the heroine, the hero, the villain, and three other parts.

Once you get past the fact that this guy has a lot of time on his hands, it’s actually really cool. I promise.

Tuffy Luv Sez: Take Your Time and Just Date!

Ask Tuffy Luv. You know, unless you’re scared or something. TuffyLuv@collegecandy.com

Dear Tuffy Luv,

I’m a sophomore in college and I’ve recently started, um, “seeing” this guy. I don’t use “seeing” to coyly imply hooking up. What I mean is, we’ve been going on sort-of dates for the last three weeks and I have NO idea where we are.

Let me back up. The guy, who we’ll call Hunter, plays on the same intramural team as me, and I met him riiiight at the very very end of spring semester last year, where we hit it off, but then parted ways for the summer. I’ve had a mild crush on him since then, but never really had an opportunity to spend time with him since then. Then this semester, I started spending more time partying in his suite, because I’m really good buddies with one of his suite-mates. We always end up gravitating toward each other at these parties and spending hours talking one on one – over all the music and everything. We came up with this goofy plan to line up on opposite ends of campus and race to the middle for a running high five and then get coffee on Monday. Which we did, and it was awesome, and we talked for hours.

So I asked him to a movie… and he said no. That he was busy. Enter, my confusion and insecurity. But that weekend, at yet another party, we ended up staying up until 4 AM, long after the party was over, talking. And he asked me to dinner. So last week, we had dinner after practice — like, sober! Again! It wasn’t just drunken happenstance, we had TWO daytime hang outs over food. And he said we should do it again. And then our team had a cabin trip, and I was kind of hoping something would happen there, but the cabin was so small and full of people it would have been awkward, so we just kind of held hands a little bit and talked more, and he gave me his shirt to keep warm.

So now we have another date and I’m totally at a loss. Hunter is a really smart, funny, gorgeous guy who I’m really into, but I also know that he has never had a girlfriend. And that he’s not the type to make moves, ever, which is part of why he hasn’t had a girlfriend. And it’s not because he’s a player, because he doesn’t fool around with girls either. So do I ask him? How do I even broach the subject without sounding like a crazy person? Am I totally crazy and reading into everything way too much right now? I mean, he asked me to dinner, right? How do I go from sitting around a table talking to kissing/watching movies/snuggling/all the good stuff?

The World Map of Penises

You know how people are always making generalizations about men and their sexual prowess based entirely on cultural stereotypes? Well, someone finally got tired of it. In what I can only assume was an attempt to put all those rumors to rest (or a very interesting way to procrastinate doing real work), someone actually did a study to determine which nations were the most well endowed.

Ladies, I present to you The World Map of Penises. You can see the map here or head on over to the original site of this discovery for a larger version.  The U.S. falls somewhere right in the mid range, but China falling is short . (Haha.) And as for which country is the most well endowed? Well… Read More »


Glamour Says the Darndest Things: April Edition

Damn, girl!

Wow. Kate Winslet looks absolutely stunning on this month’s cover of Glamour. Her hair, her pose, her Top Model fierce expression (insert three Tyra snaps here…) I thought she she was the pinnacle of perfection when she was in Titanic, but she keep reaching new heights of gorgeousness.

Silly me, I thought that by having such an elegant cover model, Glamour was trying to class it up this issue. But I was so wrong. Between a photo spread of stars in nude-colored bodysuits (my eyes still hurt) and a quiz entitled “What’s Your Guy Type” (um, I thought I was reading a grown up mag, not Seventeen), I quickly realized this issue was going to be as tacky and inane as the rest. However, I totally think Glamour gave me a subtle shout out. Remember a few months ago when I hated on tantric sex? In this month’s “Hey, It’s Ok” section, one of the things that it’s okay to do is “think tantric sex sounds kind of…boring.” Coincidence? Highly unlikely.

But anyway, returning to Glamour…have I ever talked about how dull their style section is? So predictable and uninspiring. Their cover story on “sexy hair”? Four styles – straight, kind of wavy, moderately wavy, and super wavy. So titillating. The makeup tips are usually things I read in fashion blogs…six months ago. And don’t even get me started on their ideas of what fashion on a budget entails (hint: it’s not unusual to see $100 shirts…that’s like two weeks of groceries, yo). Read More »
