On BeautifulPeople.com, beauty is in the eye of its already existing 700,000 members. That’s right, if you want to join the popular dating site, you have to submit pictures of yourself, and the members must vote you in, based on how beautiful THEY think you are. If denied (or kicked out), you’re sent an email that basically says “sorry you’re ugly” and given a number to a hotline where you can chat with a…grief counselor?

There is a tree stump the size of a mini-van in my college town of Ann Arbor, MI. It is on the farthest north side of the “Diag,” or the center of the University of Michigan’s central campus. If you want to know what scandal I wrote on that multi-century year old tree, you now have a summer road-trip destination.

No, I’m not talking about moving home with your parents, which I fully support. The New York Times recently published an article about the current trend of parents purchasing shiny new NYC apartments for their kids as a graduation present.

It’s that time of year again. The time when I run out to the driveway with my sponge and some Dove and scrub the tires of my car like a woman with a purpose. It’s Father’s Day. And nothing makes my father happier than his reflection in my shinyHyundai rims. But I love my Dad for that. He has really taught me to stay responsible, even if it means getting a little dirt in my fingernails. Along with keeping my car clean as a whistle, I’ve learned a lot of things from my Daddy.

You read that title right. Taco burgers. These are a few of my favorite things: juicy beef patties, chips and salsa, avocado on anything, rice and beans. I asked myself the other evening: why not combined these things? It could be… healthy.

When I started writing this week’s post, I really worried about it sounding like a “Dear Diary…” kind of deal. Stress eating, and the reasons behind it, are so personal, for every single individual. The reasons I stress eat can be totally opposite from the reasons my best friend stress eats or the reasons my boyfriend stress eats.

So we’ve covered a lot of Real World bases in this column. From what to wear on an interview, to how to search for a job…even what to expect socially in the workplace. But one thing I’ve noticed in reading through all of your comments is that you guys want a little help navigating the really tough scenarios.

Things are getting a little depressing on the post-grad front. At night, I enjoy watching The Biggest Loser while I shove a ton of pizza down my throat because I’m so malnourished from a busy day at work. I don’t point and laugh, but I certainly indulge in one of those internal chuckles and self-satisfaction that I don’t have ripples the size of a tidal wave on my hips.

On a scale from one – ten, how hot are you? Are you a solid eight, a mousy three, or perhaps a bombshell ten? A new LiveScience study reveals that the more you adhere to your stereotypical gender role, you more accurately you know your hotness level.

We get a TON of emails here at CC HQ to help with this project and talk about that campaign and promote some big weekend sale. While we mostly ignore them (especially the emails we received asking us to promote anti-wrinkle cream to college students), there is always one that grabs our attention and inspires us to get involved. So with no further ado, let’s talk about a project that will hopefully make a difference in the lives of women.
