Online dating sites like match, eHarmony, zoosk and AdultFriendFinder only offer an abbreviated preview of the man or woman you might be dying to meet. HOW BORING! Ever feel like you’re just not getting enough? Too few details, too vague, too contrived? Looking for that extra umph in your next relationship? Looking for someone to take your relationship to the next level?

Feel like using these sites is a lot like looking for love in all the wrong places? Then look no further! YouTube’s hottest…er, lady…shines in a video series outlining her quest for love…or his quest for love? I’m not really sure. But I can tell you that if you’re looking to visit, oh, say, Westchester, then line right up because Maurica is the lady/gent for you!

A little nervous that maybe lightning won’t strike on the first date?

Trust me, one video from Maurica and you’ll be coming back for seconds and thirds.

Sarah Lawrence College was recently dubbed the most expensive school in the U.S., rolling in a little over $57,000 in tuition costs per student per year. So if you’re not currently enrolled in SLC, this post is just for you! Most likely, you worked your butt off the summer before you headed into your respective college/university as a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior while mom and dad paid the big, bad bill for your education. Gosh, love parents. Or maybe you worked your butt off all summer and took out loans to pay for your own education. In that case, love you.

In the deep dark pit of this recession, everyone keeps telling us to be money conscious.

Hm, “money conscious.”

Uh… huh?

If you have a shopping problem like me, then the term “money conscious” doesn’t exist.  Or maybe your kryptonite is Grey Goose Vodka, chilled, two limes. I’m afraid the term “money conscious” doesn’t really fit in there, either.

So, as “money conscious” college students – the future movers and shakers of America – it is our moral duty to put a big Band-Aid over all of our country’s problems and teach mom and pop a thing or two about what being “money conscious” really means. Here’s a foolproof plan that allows – basically entitles – you to be sloppy and savvy at college.

I freakin’ love fall. I actually don’t think I can communicate in coherent sentences how I feel about the season. It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling in the pit of my stomach just thinking of the crisp air, the cozy sweaters, whip cream melting into mug of hot chocolate….I think I might have just wet myself.

It is impossible for me to pick just one fall thing as my favorite. And, believe me, I have tried on more than one occasion to pinpoint what it is that has forged this intense love affair.

So perhaps I can’t make a neat little list, but I can rant about it for a while. If you love fall too, you might want to prepare yourself. This little listicle may send you running towards your nearest Starbucks in leather boots and all the scarves you own in search of a latte and a scrumptious baked good.

Celebs get photographed no matter what they’re doing, be it anything from getting married to brushing their teeth. And even though we see ourselves brush our own teeth everyday (hopefully…), we’d rather look at pictures of our fave stars doing the same. Bradley Cooper, I will watch you brush your teeth all day long. Better yet, I’ll do it for you.

Here are a few pictures of celebs caught being boring, but you know you want to look anyway.

Surviving the walk of shame

In typical film fashion, box office hits are often a designer’s playground for previewing iconic or futuristic styles to the all-consuming public eye. From the absurd to the enviable, our favorite characters’ looks have run the gamut, but there are definitely more than a few we wish we owned ourselves. Just ask Kanye, longtime fan of these iconic retro-chic shoes that are now being released to the public for sale.

Now, before you get too nostalgic for epic old-school styles, I’ll just gently remind you that there’s a reason some of these designs never made it very far beyond the shelves in America’s hottest stores… Read More »

It’s a commonly accepted notion that middle school is an awkward time for everyone. Sparkle body gel, sassy slogan tees, unexpected growth spurts…oh, those wild pre-teen years! Probably the best part (or rather, the only good part) of the pre-hair straightener era was our infatuation with the hunky young celebs of the day. How how my heart would swoon when I thought of running my fingers through their sexy bowl-cuts!

All I can say is, no game of MASH was complete without my top 10 dreamy old-school crushes…

If you read this column regularly you will know that I rarely move from the fence. I like the fence. Plus, the deciding factor is always up to you. I like picking outfits that I’m not quite sure how I feel about. So here we are, another outfit of indifference.

Evan Rachel Wood wore this Alessandra Rich dress to the Venice Film Festival this week. The dress is almost a big-girl shirt dress, with a cinched in waist and full skirt with a thigh-high slit.
