The Craziest Manicures We’ve Ever Seen!

Raise your hand if you love paying to get your hands and feet some lovin’! As common, middle class folk, we like to keep the manicures and pedicures comfortably inside a price range that we can really fit our fingers and toes around. That’s why we never dare to pay for the really fancy manicures that come with seaweed wraps and Dead Sea salt scrubs. With that said, even if we did have the money, we would never pay for these crazy manicures. They’re a little too crazy…even for us.

Check ‘em out below!

Maxim Says the Darndest Things: October Edition

I always love Maxim during Halloween because they write and feature the craziest stuff possible. Need proof? The first two headlines I laid eyes on for October’s cover were: ‘A Polar Bear Ate My Head,’ and ‘Secrets of Lesbian Sex: How to Get in on the Action.’

No wonder I grabbed the last issue on the newsstand. Men want them some gore and girl on girl.

As silly as Maxim can be, they do have some pretty funny one-liners littering their pages. And speaking of lesbians –  see case A: this distant birthday wish. Maxim says, “My lesbian neighbors asked me what I wanted for my birthday. They gave me a Rolex, I think they misunderstood when I said I wanna watch.”  Giggles. I can’t lie, that’s funny.

As for the hawt women dressed in lace for October, I couldn’t help they all had old lady names. Agnes…Yvonne…Regina…is there a cougar jaguar fantasy that I don’t know about?! One thing I do not know for sure, is how all of these hot chicks are getting by eating creme puffs and In-N-Out burgers all the time.

Beyond creme puffs and greased up lady-thighs, I ran past a few articles featuring bad ass weapons and a few man movie reviews. I barely made it through the ‘Polar Bear Ate My Head!’ article after the second page featured an actual picture of the dude’s mauled head.  Seriously, google it or something. Suddenly you won’t want that creme puff anymore…

Then, I landed on the page every man scrambled too before they could even get out of the magazine section of the gas station (and ended up in the bathroom alone); ‘The Superhot Secrets of Lesbian Sex.’  It’s cute how every man thinks they can casually sandwich themselves in a lesbian experience. Doesn’t anyone watch Jersey Shore anymore!?! Read More »

8 Under $20: Ombre

One of my favorite trends that’s been going strong for the last few seasons is ombré. Ombré comes from a French word meaning shaded or shadow, and refers to a graduated color scheme where color fades from dark to light (or the other way around). We’ve seen an ombré effect applied to hair, nail polish and fashion. There are tons of great ombré pieces in stores right now and at every price — here are a few that are just $20 or less!

Sex in the News: Bossy Women Don’t Get Laid

Okay, I admit it: I have withheld sex from my boyfriend as a form of cruel and unusual punishment. I mean, it’s totally cool and fine that he snapped at me over nothing, but hmm… I don’t know, I’m just not really in the mood tonight.

Have you been there?

Well apparently, as women, we’re not the only ones that lock it up when we’re feeling put down. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that women who “wear the pants” at home lose out on sex – and sometimes have to wait 100 times longer to get some!  In other words, the minute a woman emasculates her mate (or you know, makes any of the decisions), she’s hung up to dry. That’s right. Nada.

Author Professor Michelle Hindin adds to this by saying, “the more decisions a woman reported making on her own, as compared to joint decision making, the less likely she was to have sex and the longer it was since she last had sexual intercourse.”

In all six counties in which this experiment was conducted, a clear correlation between “take charge” women and the amount of sex they have was found. That means if you are the one making Friday night plans, doing the grocery shopping and picking the wall color, you may be paying for it in the bedroom. Read More »


He Said/She Said: Oral Sex Etiquette

I’ve got to be honest…I hate giving oral sex. If I’m going to be sticking a massive sausage down my throat, it better at least be edible.  (And no, unless the stuff that comes out is BBQ sauce, it doesn’t count). But just because I don’t like it, doesn’t mean I haven’t done it before. If the guy loves it and I love the guy, well then, consider it me giving him a gift each time. Otherwise, dude, my hand or your hand works just fine! Or if my guy and I are already having sex, let’s just get straight to that instead. Nevertheless, oral sex has become a part of our sexual culture and it seems to be the norm and at times, precursor to sex. So for those of you who have given oral and made up your mind about it, you’ve got your own opinions on the etiquette of giving oral sex. That said, here are mine:

  • Yes, you may play with my hair or lightly caress my head, but if you push my head down hard towards your package (gently is fine, that way I know I’m doing a good job…but if it’s an aggressive push…) that’ll be the end. As said before, I’m giving you something, don’t get carried away now.
  • If it lasts longer than five minutes, be a doll and just let me stop. Please. Five minutes is way too long to have something jab at my throat repeatedly.
  • Don’t be offended if I spit. Let’s be real here, if his man-juices tasted like a strawberry-banana smoothie, things would be different. Spits or swallows baby, it’s the ladies choice.
  • If both partners are performing oral, let the guy give it first. It’ll make him more aroused and that way he won’t get impatient with you later. Read More »

Tuffy Luv Sez: Let It Go

Question?! Ask Tuffy Luv.

Dear Tuffy Luv,

I need help.  Two days ago my boyfriend and I split up.  We had a fight about him disappearing for a while without any explanation.  I was furious because that has happened to me before; in high school I had a long-term boyfriend who one day left school and disappeared without telling me.  I never heard from him again.

Well, this past weekend I was afraid that was happening again and I panicked.  When he finally did get back to me I was furious at him for making me panic like that.  I said things I didn’t mean and then we were over.

He had said he was busy (not strictly true because he had been on the phone and he could have found five seconds to let me know everything was fine). I later found out through talking to our mutual friend that he was upset with me and that was why he hadn’t gotten back to me.  So then I was even more upset with him for not being honest with me.

But here’s the thing: this whole thing is my fault.  The whole time we were together, practically, I didn’t trust anything he told me.  I’ve had relationships in the past, and they all turned out terribly.  I realize that everyone has terrible relationships sometimes, but it seems like everyone I care about lets me down.  I don’t trust anyone.

Understand, it’s not the little things I don’t trust him with.  When he says he’s with friends and stuff, I don’t care. Read More »
