The latest trend in summer casual-wear, the “maxi-dress,” just may be my favorite. Because unlike the short-shorts, miniskirts, and flimsy sundresses of summers past, this one lets me get away with not shaving my legs.

Celebrities like Rachel Bilson, Kiera Knightly, and Jessica Simpson have been spotted out and about rocking ankle-length dresses and skirts lately, and I have to say, I think I’ll be jumping on this celeb-trend bandwagon very soon. Read More »

Not only is Ellen Degeneres f*cking funny, but she has single-handedly inspired thousands of women in media to come out of the closet and still prove powerful.

AfterEllen.com (named after Ellen’s brave decision to come out on her popular sitcom, before the show was unfairly cancelled) is a website where same-sex oriented women can go to blog, meet, share and feel accepted.

AfterEllen has created a list of the hottest women in showbiz. What makes this list different from, let’s say, , is that it laughs in the face of the Lohan (#1 on Maxim and #79 on AfterEllen) and other stereotypical hotties.

Instead, women like Tina Fey, America Ferrera and Queen Latifah are considered sexy.

Even though I’m a straight female, I think this is totally empowering. The women on this list just seem to have more to offer – talent, brains AND a physical attractiveness. That’s a lot more than the typical hussies with t*ts and ass have to say, which is….well, not much at all.

Spoiler Alert!

Maybe I should have known better than to try and sit through 147 minutes of Johnny, Kiera and Orlando at midnight on a Saturday night. After all, I was not at all impressed with the sequel. Was I really hoping that “Pirates of the Carribean: At World’s End” would pull a 180 and recreate the magic of the original?

Unfortunately, it didn’t. No, it wasn’t as painful as sitting through the second one was. After all, “Dead Man’s Chest,” really did nothing but create dozens of loosely intertwining subplots while introducing a myriad of underdeveloped characters. For all its faults, at least “At World’s End” tied the stories together, and gave the movie a nice, albeit very unexpected, ending (while simultaneously setting the stage for brand new adventures if they so desire to create a Pirates 4).

My biggest gripe of the movie was that it did an awful job some key plot features. For example, remember the Kracken, that evil sea-thing that Davey Jones would summon to utterly destroy ships? Yeah, that puppy was nowhere to be found in the third film. It was briefly alluded to early on, and then at a certain point you actually see a dead creature that’s supposed to be the monster, but you’re never really able to tell. Read More »
