Be Bold, Not a Bitch

Queen_BitchThere are certain times when any woman can preserve the right to be a bitch (like when she’s curled up in bed with a heating pad on her ovaries). But instead, try being bold rather than bitchy. It is so much classier then going all Regina George on someone just because they piss you off.

You know those times when that little monster inside of you just wants to lash out? Well, here are some bold (and bitchy counterpart) responses to ease the inner bitch while still putting someone in their place.

You go girl.

Someone Cuts You in Line
Bitchy: Get the f out of my way, you line cutting ho.
Bold: Excuse me? I believe I was here first, but feel free to get in line behind me.

Someone Macks on Your Man
Bitchy: Back off before I go Jerry Springer on you. HE’S MY MAN.
Bold: I appreciate the compliment of you admiring my man, but he is taken…. by me. (Smiley aggressively)

Someone Tries to Steal Your Idea at Work
Bitchy: Isn’t it funny how that idea wasn’t yours at all, but my idea? I think our boss will also think it’s funny. When I tell him. RIGHT NOW, bitch.
Bold: I find it interesting that your “idea” was so similar to my input and original thought. I guess, in the future, I won’t collaborate with you at all. Read More »


Bold is Beautiful…When You Do it Right

Bright colors are all the rage this summer, and there are certainly some rockin’ choices out there. The difficulty exists in walking the fine line between looking fabulous and looking like Bozo the Clown. Here are a few hot tips to get you started.

1. Accessorize.

If you’re feeling a little unsure about bolds, sneak them into your closet in ways that aren’t so obvious. Try a hot pair of purple crocodile-print shoes, an eye-catching tangerine handbag, or a long necklace made of turquoise rock pieces. You can cash in on summer trends while slowly building up your confidence with color. Genius!

2. Get classic pieces.

Buying a pair of lime-green skinny jeans might sound like fun, but think about your ratio of cost to use. Though bolds really shine in the summer, they can (and should!) be worn during other seasons as well. Rather than going all out on an embellished fuchsia tube top that you’ll probably wear a max of three times, you might be better off with something like this, which you can wear over and over again (including in the fall and winter with leggings).

This Spring: Bold is Beautiful

February has just started up, and since I like to get ahead of myself, I’m pretty sure that means spring is just around the corner. I’m that much closer putting away my many pairs of black opaque tights and letting the legs go bare.

Spring wear has been settling in stores for a few weeks now, so we’ve all gotten a glimpse of what to expect this season. But what’s really stood out to me are all of the bright colored items from dresses to handbags. Bold hues of blue, yellow and red are everywhere. Luckily we can all get the runway look for less, thanks to Forever21 and the like. Read More »


Are You an Alpha Kitty?

Meow!

Someone’s sending YOU a friendly purrrr, and that someone is Atoosa Rubenstein, former Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen Magazine and creator of ComsoGIRL!

What’s she saying, you ask? Alpha Kitty!

What we’ve got here is something of a revolution, my friend. Rubenstein, often referred to by her crew as “Big Momma”, is empowering other women (and basically everyone) to challenge themselves and embrace their individuality no matter how weird or how different.

Some one once told me we’re all weird. And I agree. Its just that our “weirdness” is often diluted as we change, grow older, conform. But, when we let go of what separates from the crowd then we start lose ourselves…right?

I think so.

So hang tight to that hula-hoop or tooth pick collection! Watch the videos and post your own back. Let’s get crazy! Read More »
