Cosmo Says the Darndest Things: July Edition

Happy July from Cosmo, er’body! To kick off the month, Cosmo had a fabulous tongue twister for me even before I could spread open the pages (hehe, Cosmo makes me feel so dirty). The first article title that popped by my hazy head on the cover was, ‘Your Breast Myths Busted.’ Whew, say that five times fast. Or six, if you’re extra ballsy. Trust me, you will have an insta-lisp.

After admiring Rihanna’s uncanny ability to show off (an un-flattering for everyone else) upper mid-drift, I learned something new in the ‘101 Things About Men’ section. Apparently, his anogenital length (that’s right, the distance between his poop-hole and his genitals) determines his fertility. If it’s longer than two inches – the more likely you’ll end up with a bun in your oven. The longer, the better people. Pull out that ATM card, ladies, and measure up! So that’s what those 16 & Pregnant girls are doing these days…

Anyhooker, I also learned that men crave the tender love and sex in the month of July. Why, you ask? Contrary to my popular belief, not because it’s my birthday month. Apparently come July – men become sluggish and slightly depressed. Really!? Is that the excuse we’re using nowadays? Yea, I get sluggish too – and my hair frizzes out to Texas. GIVE ME A HUG.

When I finally turned the page after staring at Justin Bieber’s new ad for perfume (which apparently makes people float and loudly sniff necks and breath),  I came across an article called Talking So He Will Listen.’ I have my own ideas for talking so he’ll listen (like while wearing a loin cloth or absentmindedly touching your boobs) but surprisingly, Cosmo had other ideas. Like, the simple things: assuming you share a brain, ignoring your body, speaking in code and essentially having an out of body experience whenever you converse with your man.

Later, an article had a body-language expert ruin six relationships as she analyzed pictures couples sent in (ones the couples were proud of) to see if they were going to last. In one photo she described the couple’s body language by saying, “She stands in front of him, demonstrating she likes to be the center of attention. There is definite tension here.” BOOM, relationship doubt, planted into the innocent minds of the couple together for five years.

That brings us to the article that get’s our popcorn poppin’ in bed, my favorite sexy-time nugget of glory: ‘The Sexiest Spots to Touch Him During Sex.” Because the spots you already touch him are…not sexy enough. I really hope Cosmo finds a cool way to incorporate erotic nostril touching into this…

Cosmo Says: Think of the base of his penis like your pubic mound.
Brittany Says: Woah. Woah. Woah. Wordage, Cosmo. WORDAGE. Pubic mound? This isn’t a construction zone.

Cosmo Says: Dart your tongue in and out like a snake, flicking it quickly. The fast movements will get him super hyped.
Brittany Says: And it will get YOU super hyped, too. Also, maybe if you do it fast enough you can start to smell things with your taste buds? Kind of like a rattle snake. Oh, how cool! I taste smells!

Cosmo Says: Press your lips together like you’re about to plant one on him, then place them directly over his P-spot and suck.
Brittany Says: First of all, how old are we? P-spot sounds like a naughty place in kindergarten you couldn’t go, or touch. Second of all, if this it the p-spot I’m thinking about, who wants to go anywhere near that with the same kissy face you come at your mother with? Muah!

Cosmo Says: Hand over your Cosmo with a flirty smile asking him to pinpoint the tips that sound fun. You’ll be able to see the kinds of touches he prefers.
Brittany Says: You’ll also find out if you guys should be together forever, or one more minute, “Hey honey, suck on my p-spot like Nemo.”

We’re done.

The Bachelorette: Either “Mission F*cking Accomplished” or 10 Reasons to NOT Date Ashley H.

Before I go into the boring details of the past week in Ashley Hebert’s life, let me start off with this: Bentley came back to re-dump Ashley on a canary yellow couch. And let me tell you, it is worth watching again, and again and again. Especially the part when Ashley says, “So this is our period. Be a man and admit that it’s a period. Put it there.” …yes they referred to their, wait for it, “relationship” in punctuations.

Other than that exciting 20 minute reality t.v. break up, the rest of the hour and 40 minute show was just one dull date after another. Well, with the exception of Constantine and Ben F. dressing up in red robes chanting “idiot” in Chinese  while losing in a dragon boat race.  Other important details you ask? Lucas and JP both got one-on-one dates, apparently JP’s name is Jordan Paul (what?!), Mickey left (literally peaced out before the rose ceremony) and Ash sent Blake home. I’m not going to lie to you, I was kind of excited to see the awkward dentist go home after he cornered Ashley during the cocktail party and attacked her for falling for Bentley. (Yes, I know I do that every week…but I’m not trying to date her.) Read More »


Body Blog: Beautiful Booty

Whether you want one as big as Kim Kardashian’s or something more subtle like J-Lo’s (ok, it’s not that subtle, but in comparison…) I have the perfect plan for you. While squats and lunges are my quick go-to favorite, they can get a little boring. Here are some easy ways to spice up your workout routine.

College Candy is on Tumblr!

As you probably know, loyal reader, College Candy likes to stay on top of all the latest trends. For better or worse, we’ve dared to strut our much-accentuated food babies stuff in high-waisted pants, we’ve risked cutting our circulation off for the love of Silly Bandz and, God help us, there may have been a brief minute with Shape-Ups. And while we (somehow) let each of those things fall by the wayside, we’ve jumped on a new trend that just might actually have some staying power.

Brace yourselves, because College Candy is now on Tumblr. (And by College Candy, we mean the behind-the-scenes goodness that we can’t really show you here.)

Feel like getting to know the CC editors and staff on a TMI level? Wonder what our inboxes look like? Need a brilliant and quick answer to any one of life’s burning questions? Psh, sure you do!

So don’t wait around, follow College Candy on tumblr! Like a good date, we might just return the favor…

6 Fictional Universities I Wish I Attended

College is awesome. But every now and then I turn on the TV and catch a glimpse of a fictional one that just looks better. Non-stop parties, non-stop drama and perfect weather dominate my TV screen while I slip into the world of pseudo-college. These kids never seem to do any actual learning (but that’s clearly besides the point) and I can’t help but imagine my life frolicking around these campuses. The grass is always greener and I bet their cheep beer tastes better, too.

This Blog Will Change Your Life: Week 3

[There comes a time in every girl’s life, (usually after a third or fourth martini), when she realizes “Damn, I need to do something… travel to Europe, take up Chinese, get married…someeeething! I need to change my life.” Finding myself in one such rut and without the cash-flow for a capricious jet-set to France, I decided to live by the book, take the plunge, and tackle the Benrik challenge. If you have never heard of Benrik’s This Book Will Change Your Life, crawl out from under the rock you have been living under, wipe the tired crust from your eyes, and listen up.]

Week 3- Task 1

Day 37 – Eat and Run

Let me preface this one by saying, I am a good person.  I swerve to avoid hitting animals. I give a few dollars to the homeless whenever I can. I even send over a bunch of toys for underprivileged children at Christmas! I am a good person, and even though the waitress I ran out on may say otherwise, I stand behind that statement. Now before you all judge me, let me say that I didn’t do this at a five star gourmet restaurant.  It was “Half-Off Night” at the local dive bar and my bill was only $2.00.  I found out later that my friend actually ended up paying for my drink and I paid him back the following day. So please, don’t fret. No waitresses were harmed in the completion of this task. Read More »


Versatile Style: Citizens of Humanity Angie Super Flare Jeans

I’ve yet to recommend a pair of jeans on Versatile Style, so that became my mission this week. Most people think of jeans as super versatile items, when in fact, they’re not. The fit, wash and details on a pair of jeans are actually extremely restrictive and more often than not, clump them into a “casual” category. It’s pretty hard to pull off a pair of severely ripped jeans in a light wash at a classy bar, right? Anyways, with the big flare trend coming back for denim, I decided to find a classic pair that will wear for years and suit your every purpose. Enter Citizens of Humanity Angie Super Flare!
