Friday Faves: Confessions of a College Cocktail Waitress

No college girls wants to give up her nights out. So I had that “absolutely not” mentality when I began turning my college town upside down looking for a job.  Who wants to be folding clothes amidst an asthma-inducing Abercrombie cologne cloud late into the evening when your girls are out at $1 pitcher night? Nobody.

That’s why I became a cocktail waitress.

Well, that and I heard Tiger Woods George Clooney was fond of them.

The Best of the Worst Umbrella Fails! [Photos]

I really love the rain.

Wait… let me rephrase that. I really love the rain when I can stay inside all day, watch bad TV and eat. In case you didn’t know, calories don’t count on rainy days.

On Wednesday, I ventured out into Manhattan to help a friend out with work. It was pouring and of course I didn’t dress accordingly. But I did bring my umbrella. You would think that would be enough, right? Wrong.

I always feel so bad for those people whose umbrellas blow themselves inside out or they snap and break right in the middle of a torrential downpour. On Wednesday, I was that person I usually pity. So while I had to grit my teeth and bear the embarrassment, I thought it would be funny to shed light on the best of the worst umbrella fails. ‘Cause who doesn’t like to make themselves feel better by making fun of other people?

I just wish I had a towel for each of them.

The Greatest Electric Slide Ever Slid [Video]

Last week was the NYC marathon and tons of supporters and fans came out to support the runners. I nursed a massive hangover instead. Biggest mistake of my entire life because some of these fans and supporters pulled off what may be the coolest impromptu electric slide performance I’ve ever seen. The only thing that’s on my bucket list is to participate in a spontaneous choreographed dance and it looks like I just missed a golden opportunity to cross that off the list.


Hot or Hot Mess: Daisy Lowe in Gaultier at the Harper’s Bazaar Woman of the Year Awards

Daisy Lowe went for a goth-rock look for the Harper’s Bazaar Woman of the Year awards earlier this week. She wore a tuxedo-style dress cut short at the front, and long at the back from the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2010 runway. She paired the look with dark red lips (and a matching Lulu Guiness clutch) and YSL patent pumps.

She added lots of black eyeliner and black nails, and kept her legs bare beneath the dress.

This dress is all kinds of weird (is it even a dress?). It’s trying to be both sexy and conservative, and both feminine and masculine all at the same time. I just don’t really get it. Admittedly, I’m not wild on this whole mullet-hem thing that the celebs at loving at the moment, but this just seems to look like two different outfits. Read More »

Happy Valley is No Longer Happy: A Penn State Alum Speaks Out

Image taken by Eric Weiss

Disgust.

I can not think of another word to describe the constant gut-wrenching feeling I have had in the pit of my stomach since Saturday morning when the alleged sexual assault case involving former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky became national news.

First, and foremost, I am disgusted that my university — a place that I spent the best four years of my life learning and growing and maturing into the person I am today — would let this one man ruin the reputation we have worked so hard to build. Members of our administration were informed of Sandusky’s actions that occurred NINE years years ago (and on OUR CAMPUS no less) and felt the proper course of action was to cover this up. And then when confronted, they continue to do something; to say nothing. Not even to apologize to the victims and their families that had the strength to come forward after all of these years of abuse and turmoil. Pure and utter disgust.

The 10 Types of Underwear Every Woman Needs

There are things every college girl should own: a comfy pair of sweatpants, a hoodie for super hung-over mornings, the perfect shirt to wear to the bar and a good ole’ pair of skinny jeans.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, you’re rolling your eyes at like me tell me something I don’t already know.

In the college prep books, no one really talks about the real things every college girl should own. When my mom took me shopping before I left for school, the sexy, lace underwear I would need to flaunt for the first boy I took home was definitely not on her shopping list.

Over here at CollegeCandy, we know just how important those sexy, barely there drawers will be to furthering your education. That’s why we put together this list of the 10 pairs of underwear every college girl needs! Because, let’s face it, when you’re cramped inside the four walls of your dorm room with five finals looming over your head, the last thing you really want to do is study for them… Read More »


Listen to Cee Lo’s Newest Catchy Song [VIDEO]

Just as I stopped hearing “F*ck You” on the radio, Cee Lo releases a new, almost-as-catchy song. This song goes in a different direction. Instead of being a “F*ck You” song, it’s a cute love song about still loving despite a relationship that has its share of imperfections. Awwww. This is going to be the song everyone will play after they get into a fight with their boyfriend or girlfriend. Read More »
