In Our Makeup Bag: Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. 4
Urban Decay is one of my favorite cosmetic brands. They make high-quality products, are always animal-friendly and have a great design aesthetic. The packaging and names of products are always funky and kitschy and, most importantly, what’s inside works!
Battle of the Tweet Queens
Our Most Influential Women poll (umm…have you voted yet?) has been causing quite a bit of controversy among our readers. We specifically noticed quite a bit of heated commentary when it came to deciding the most influential lady on Twitter.

Who’s the Real Courtney Stodden?
October brings us creepy movies, creepy monsters and creepy couples. I am getting so sick of Courtney Stodden pretending to be a 17 year old when she looks twice that age. When she’s pulling stunts like this, I feel like she WANTS us to get sick of her. I don’t know why everyone freaked out over President Obama’s birth certificate.
Cosmo Says the Darndest Things: November Edition
Ok…and since I can’t resist any longer, I have to whip out my favorite article of the month. But be careful, you might get a thong slung at your face! Yes, Cosmo went through the trouble of coming up with ’25 Kinky Things to Do With Your Undies.’

A Few Signs We’re Really Into You
Unfortunately, when it comes to girls there is no “She’s Just Not That Into You” book to prepare you for the art of pick-up. The first impression can make or break you ,and you certainly don’t want to embarrass yourself by going after a girl who just isn’t interested. Don’t push too hard for a girl unless you are sure she wants it, and take it from me–if a woman likes you, you’ll know it.

The Ultimate Guide to Halloween TV
One of the best parts of fall TV is the fall Halloween specials. Apparently almost every.single.show. on TV is going to be doing a Halloween episode this fall. Maybe there will even be a Hoarders where the woman’s house is filled with candy corn and pumpkin seeds. Just kidding, her house will probably be filled with dead animals (cliche hoarder).

Real Jobs You’re Qualified For Thanks To An English Degree
It is very well known that English majors get a lot of flack. So much so, that many English majors have lost all pride in their academic choice and are pretty defensive about it. From one writer to another, that kind of ‘tude will only limit you.
Rent the Runway Look of the Week: Classing Up Halloween!
Yes, yes I know… Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it…But what should the rest of us wear? I’m not wild about sluttin’ it up in the freezing cold nights in October (brrr), or donning a Halloween outfit that draws immense attention to each slice of pizza I’ve eaten in the past year of my lovely flaws.
Versatile Style: Zara Chino Trousers
Yet again, another unimaginative name from our friends at Zara. They’re lucky they design such chic clothes, or else I may be so bored by their names, I wouldn’t feature them! Speaking of bored, I’m bored of the routine of throwing on my jeans and then picking a top to match. Even though I have an extensive jean wardrobe, sometimes I just want to change my pants up.

Over the weekend recent divorcee and celebrity J.Lo paid tribute to her past loves during her Connecticut concert. Whilst singing her song “Until It Beats No More”, J.Lo look alike and Diddy, Ben Affleck, and Marc Anthony doppelgangers also took stage. As the singer described to the crowd, “let’s take a trip down memory lane”, she began to cry.
Current Events Cheat Sheet: Congrats, Libya!
The former Libyan leader, or to put it more accurately, the former brutal, oppressive dictator, Moammar Gadhafi, was killed Thursday. Gadhafi died following a NATO air strike, which for some justifies President Obama’s decision to initiate the airwar. Libyan rebels fighting for a democratic nation celebrated in the streets when they heard the news, but of course, things aren’t so simple.
