GQ may seem like a strange magazine for a soon to be 21 year old girl/woman (like Britney, I’ve found that I’m still somewhere in-between) to get her advice, but I’ve been reading GQ for the past year now and have found some valuable tidbits. And unlike Maxim, I find that they keep the scantily clad women to a minimum. Although this issue does feature Brooklyn Decker in a wet white cotton bra and panties withering around on a warehouse floor. I also found out that she has a crush on Dave Matthews of all people.

This month’s issue featured Derrick Rose as the cover star, and I had no idea who he was. Judging from the basketball in his hand, I gathered that he was a basketball star who is possibly the next Jordan. Either way he’s cute, so I’m not complaining.

The story focused on the fact that he plays for the Chicago Bulls and is the next big thing. He’s LeBron without the ego. I’m not concerned with his actual basketball skills, but I know who I’m going to bring up the next time I talk to a guy about sports. Speaking of sports stars, GQ taught me that Tiger Woods is still a douche, and he has potty mouth. He also farts a lot on the golf course. How did he bag Elin? Or all those other girls?

I have to give GQ credit for their article, “Bimbos with Balls!” For one, it featured a scatter plot of male bimbos ranging from dumb to dumbest and those who showed “no monty” to “full monty.” Unsurprisingly, The Situation is the the dumbest chest baring man whose photo caption reads, “Forever topless, forever dumb.” I appreciate that our culture can feature a  dumb man as opposed to the cliched dumb woman on television. Clearly this is gender equality at its finest.

The crowning achievement of the issue has to be their marriage manifesto on how to have a good and successful marriage.

GQ says: “Say this is a love note: ‘The moon lives in the lining of your skin.’ That’s Pablo Neruda, friend. Poet of love. Read him.”

Tiffany says: Even though the line is a bit strange for my taste, I appreciate the effort. Good skin is the key to looking beautiful, so I’d like my effort to be noticed.

GQ says: “Also: Don’t say you ‘got the night off.’ That’s pathetic.”

Tiffany says: Damn right it’s pathetic! I know a relationship is work, but don’t make it sound like it’s a 9-5 job.

GQ says: “You will learn that her feelings are real!”

Tiffany says: One of my biggest pet peeves is when people act like emotions aren’t valid. I feel them, therefore they are. Don’t belittle me.

All in all, good job GQ. You’ve made me sports literate and made me feel good about getting married someday (I will be giving my future husband this manual). Bonus points for featuring an editorial with Adam Brody.

[Celebrities get paid to look good and serve as a style guide to all us common folk, and part of looking good is flaunting their totally awesome fashion sense. Each week, I will be highlighting my Style Idol of the week: a celebrity who consistently shows keen fashion sense and whose closet I would raid in a heartbeat.

Of course, no celebs are immune to the occasional “what the hell were they thinking?” moment, but for the most part, these celebs look foxy and fabulous and inspire us all to do the same.]

Her hairstyle was one of the biggest fads of the 90’s, she’s dated (and married) some of Hollywood’s hottest hunks, and she’s known for her girl-next-door looks that continue to hold true even as she approaches forty(!). Jennifer Aniston typifies simple elegance, and is a style icon for many women because of her easy, casual and minimalist style. She doesn’t go for a lot of bells and whistles, but her streamlined shirt and jeans combo always accentuates her fabulous, athletic body.

Aniston even keeps it simple at red carpet events with sheath dresses or classic cocktail dresses in flattering shapes and neutral tones. She encourages women around the globe to play up their natural beauty, opting for loose, easy waves and natural makeup over the over-done looks of many other Hollywood celebs. This ability to look fabulous (even nearly nude!) without seeming to try too hard makes Jennifer Aniston my Style Idol of the Week. Read More »

I’m trying really hard not to judge. But when it comes to Marilyn Manson, it’s damn hard for me to stay silent.

Add in a confused little girl who claims his snoring “lulls her to sleep”, and you’ve just made it impossible for me not to say anything.

In September’s issue of GQ, 19-year-old Evan Rachel Wood lets it all hang out when it comes to her relationship with the Goth rocker, defending her feelings and that weird music video where they’re making out (for way, way too long) in a rainstorm of blood.

“At the end of the video, we’re kissing and it’s raining blood – and for me, that was one of the most romantic moments of my entire life” Wood explains, going on to say “for the first time, I really feel like I’m around somebody and in an environment where I can just let go and not worry about being judged”.

While I have no idea what an actress and a vampire look-alike talk about over dinner, the thing that really freaks me out is the 19-year age difference. 19 years.

The girl is dating someone who was her age when she was born. And sure, Hugh Hefner is doing the same thing (times 3), but at least that man looks like a man! Marilyn Manson resembles some sort of feminine alien. Read More »

Do you like to put stuff on your cat?

That random question headlines an even odder website, stuffonmycat.com.

What is this website all about? Well, it’s a little place in cyberspace dedicated to pictures of cats with stuff on them. Cats with teacups on them, cats with shoes on them, cats with baby clothes on them…just pictures and pictures of cats covered in stuff.

It sounds strange, but once you go there, you’ll find it hard to look away. Most of the cats are adorable. Some are freaky. All of them have owners who have found time to throw things on top of them. Read More »

GQ magazine has named Lindsay Lohan 2007′s Obsession of the Year. This is a terribly sad statement about “WE” as a people. Certainly we are more obsessed with what part of Britney she will shave next. Here is a tasty little excerpt from Lindsay’s interview with GQ:

Tell me about an average day in the life of Lindsay Lohan.

It starts out with a 5 a.m. hike through Runyon Canyon to watch the sunrise. Then I go outside, and I try to find the paparazzi. I go down to Robertson Boulevard, try and search for them, find them, and bring them food.

And then what do you do at night?

Well, of course, I’m sitting at the computer all night.

Have you ever read anything interesting about yourself on the Internet?

No. I wish they’d be clever and make something up for me.

There’s some interesting stuff about you. Irocman39 in Skokie, Illinois, says you’re the “smokinest woman on the face of the earth”—

God bless him.

—and that he wouldn’t kick you out of bed for eating saltines.

I don’t eat. Don’t you people know? It’s all about anorexia and bulimia nervosa.
