Study Shows Men are Still Out-earning Women
It’s 2011, right? Um, so can anyone tell me why women are STILL getting paid less than men for equal work? Because, as a newly minted college grad looking to jump start my career (and pay off my loans), I’d really like to know.
In Our Makeup Bag: Kahina Giving Beauty Toning Mist
Luxe skincare products are always a fun way to switch up your routine. Every time I use one, I feel like I’m pampering myself! And we all know the importance of effective skincare; if you’re skin isn’t in tip-top shape, it will show, regardless of how much makeup you slather on.

This Post-Grad Life: Grown-Up Sleepovers
When I graduated from college, I told myself that I was never going to behave the way I had for the past four years. Especially since I was no longer going to be attending Thirsty Thursdays, Wasted Wednesdays and Tipsy Tuesdays, and there weren’t horny boys lurking around every corner. Essentially, ‘hooking up,’ in all of its glory, was taking a gracious bow out of my life.
The Celebrities With the Craziest Fans
There are a lot of perks to being a celebrity. Fame, fortune and all that good stuff are a given, and it’s the reason why so many people would do just about anything to make it big themselves. But as a society I think we often get so caught up in the perks of being famous that we forget about some of the cons; the cons that we as fans who want to know all about these people contribute to.
Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Rachel Bilson is Foxy in Leather
I can’t gush about Rachel Bilson’s style enough (I’ve written about her twice before. She’s so dynamic and committed to being on-trend while still letting her own personality shine through.

Glee-cap: You’ll Be Free If You Truly Wish To Be.
This week’s episode of Glee is tragic for several reasons: the first (and most important) tragedy? Sue’s sister, Jean (the Downs Syndrome patient who we’ve visited in a nursing home every time we need to be reassured of the existence of Sue’s heart) passed away. The death is sudden, and it set the stage for many of the issues that were tackled in “Funeral.”

Web Spy: Mint.com
Does this situation sound familiar to you? Your BFF asks you if want to go out to dinner with her, and you’re about to tell her yes, when you decide to check your bank statement quickly online before you answer — and discover you don’t have anywhere close to enough for a night out.

Looks Like There’s Life After the Real Housewives
And the future of New Jersey housewife/sex tape star/crazy ass, Danielle Staub? Well, this isn’t surprising at all.
8 Under $20: Colorblocking
Colorblocking is one of the hottest trends this year, and I, for one, am thrilled about it. I love bright colors, but they can be a little intimidating to wear. Colorblocked clothing makes wearing brights simple by pairing multiple coordinating and/or contrasting brights together with neutrals. You don’t even need to do anything but put that ish on!
Sex in the News: Fantasies, Friend or Foe?
“Oh! Oh my God! I’m about to… Oh God, Gerard!”
OH. MY. GOD. Did I really just say that? Did I really just call my boyfriend of nine months Gerard Butler? What was I thinking?
How to Prevent Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is one of the oldest crimes in the book and it’s one that often seems to go unpunished. In today’s R-rated, “sex sells” culture, sexual harassment can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. And it does. All too often.
He Said/She Said: Why Our Undergarments Shouldn’t Matter
I can vividly remember buying my first thong. I was at the mall with my BFFs and they were going on and on about how much guys love them and “OMG, they are SO comfortable!” I started thinking about my crush Joey (aren’t all high school crushes named Joey?) and how he’d fall madly in love with me once he saw me bend over and my hot pink thong peek out over the top of my low-rise jeans.
Tuffy Luv Luvs Your Honesty With Guyz
Dear Tuffy Luv,
I’ve never wanted a relationship. I mean, I’m 19 years old, why should I? Now, dating, that’s where it’s at. But I keep finding myself in sticky situations. I’ll be seeing a guy and he’ll bring up the “exclusive” conversation when, wait a second, weren’t we diggin’ this whole casual thing two dates ago?
We’re Already Excited for the New Fall TV Lineup
Last night, after going for a run in such intense wind that I was basically running in place for 45 minutes, I was exhausted. My legs hurt, my face hurt (windburn is a real thing, yo!), and I could barely get up to pour myself a bowl of cereal let alone do anything remotely productive (like go to the bathroom). So what did I do? I brought a box of cereal to the couch and settled in for a night of TV.
