Single Girl Society – Get Over Guilt
Not a day goes by that there isn’t something that triggers a pang of guilt in my life. If it’s not my mother telling me to eat more because there are starving children in India (true, but I don’t see you wrapping up the leftovers and sending it to them), then it’s my accounting textbook staring me down, practically scolding me for having yet to crack it open for my test that week. There’s just something about being a girl that makes us unreasonably prone to feeling guilty at any point.

Welcome Back, Dane Cook
Who else was mad when Dane Cook didn’t get nominated for an Oscar for Employee of the Month? I wasn’t mad either. When Dane Cook first stepped into the limelight, I’ll admit that I thought he was funny. Then something happened. I would watch one of his specials on TV, and then the next day in class I would feel like I was watching it over and over again. Every fratty bro felt the need to repeat Dane Cook quotes over and over and over and over.
Budget Stylista – Dressing Up Sportswear
This is one of the things that I love about fashion. Designers can be “inspired” by something, and then channel it in a way that is on an entirely different planet than the original inspiration. For example, just because the Victorian-era inspired designers this season, doesn’t mean girls are rocking the insane junk-in-yo-trunk bustle. So instead of the clothes you’d sweat-it-out at the gym in, there are chic, sporty clothes for you instead.

WTF Friday: CheaterVille.com
Have you ever suspected your significant other was cheating? Do you hate confrontation? Would you prefer to be told by online strangers about your cheating partner? Yes, yes and yes!?
Celebrating Banned Book Week With Erotic Classics!
You can imagine my surprise when I walked in and sat down this morning thinking that someone gave me a copy of one of my favorite reads. Err, wrong! This time it’s Pride & Prejudice Hidden Lusts. Szereto has replaced modesty in all my favorite characters with porno-pumping desire. So, in honor of Banned Book Week, I’d like to share just a few excerpts from this adapted read that exemplify why our intellectual freedom and first amendment rights should only take us so far in the literary world…

Friday Faves: 5 Signs Your Friend is Really a Frenemy
Our generation, the trailblazers that we are, will leave a lot of different marks on this world, but none more significant than our ability to create new (and fabulous, mind you) words. Sexting. Legit. Facebooking. Fab. Whatevs. Whether we’re abbreviating them or combining them, we’re creating them, and we’re creating them with very specific purposes in mind.
8 Celebrity Children’s Closets We’d Like To Raid
They’ve got looks, money, style, and they’re famous for just being born. Celebrity kids get all the luck, but these particular 8 are future fashion icons. Granted we’ll be 80 years old by the time they’re bustling around the style section but they have US Weekly in retirement homes, right?

Hot or Hot Mess: Sarah Jessica Parker in Stella McCartney at the Premier of Ocean’s Kingdom
It’s just… SJP could feasibly be my mother. I would not want my mother going out in something like this. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a gorgeous dress. I love the lace, I love the white (who says you can’t wear white after Labour Day?!), I love how she has accessorized with a big floral piece (very Carrie), but I just don’t think it’s…well…appropriate.
Baby Gaga: Fact or Fiction?
Lady Gaga has a baby sister. Something about that sentence felt all too normal, but it’s true! Gaga’s baby sis, Natali Germanotta, a fashion design student at Parsons The New School of Design, landed the cover of Teen Vogue and has lots to say about growing up Baby Gaga.
Roomies for Life: 10 Celebs I’d Dorm With
If I had the chance to choose who my freshman year roomie would have been, you know who I would have picked? Celebrities. Big time celebs. Not the Indie films stars (even though I still find them incredibly talented and way more interesting than me). I’m talkin’ Hollywood A-list, top-of-the-line, million-dollar-making, still warm from their last vacation, celebrities!

The Most Mysterious Olsen Alive
Mary Kate and Ashley? Yes, I’m familiar. Elizabeth Olsen? It seems as if EVERYONE is talking about her lately. But what about Trent Olsen? The older brother of the sisters remains a mystery. Was he sold off by the twins for only 50 cents? We thought so, but apparently he ended up being not for sale.
