Meghan McCain used to really bother me. I thought the only reason she had become a well known political commentator was because her father, John McCain, was a prominent politician. It’s obvious that she’s worked hard to brand herself as a new, young voice of the Republican party. I thought that most of her positions on issues were carefully calculated to help her achieve that image. This interview she just did with Playboy is an example of that – she has some good things to say, but she’s trying hard to seem cool and relatable.

But I’m starting to respect her quite a bit. Being very liberal myself, I disagree with Meghan McCain on many issues. But she supports marriage equality, and although she is anti-abortion, she’s very pro-birth control. Recently, she appeared on the Rachel Maddow show to speak out against the Virginia bill that would have required women seeking abortions to have a transvaginal ultrasound first. That’s an unnecessary and invasive procedure. Luckily, that part of the bill was eventually changed. But here’s what Meghan McCain had to say about it: Read More »

Some celebs design fashion lines. Former Playboy girlfriend Bridget Marquardt, who showed us on E!’s reality show The Girls Next Door that she’s always been a little different from the rest, has launched her own line of Halloween costumes.

The importance of bedding in a college dorm is pretty obvious. Considering most colleges think a jail-cell sized space is fitting for us students to sleep, drink, cry and sometimes study in (no, thank you college- you really know how to make us feel at home), bedding is one of the only ways to express your self. Unless you’re a poster-lover in which case, don’t invite me over because I don’t want to see your Phoenix poster…we get it, you and every other knitted-beanie-wearing-creative-writing-major is their number one fan…I digress.

Below are some classic college beddings, and what they really mean about the person dreaming in them! Read More »

Here at College Candy, we have nothing against dating older men. In fact, we’re pretty into it. They have money, jobs, wisdom, that sexy older-man look, money…

Anyway, one of the older celebs whose allure we’ve never been able to figure out is Hugh Hefner. And apparently his new ex-fiance didn’t like him that much either. Crystal Harris, the 25-year-old model who was set to tie the knot with Hefner Saturday, June 18, apparently called off the wedding after a “change of heart,” according to Hefner’s Twitter. Or possibly a change of contact lens prescription, I don’t know.

Either way, we would like to take this opportunity to point out a few older men that girls like Crystal SHOULD be dating instead of Hef. Here’s to you, baby boomers.

Frat boys rejoice, Playboy has just released its 2011 top picks for Best Party Schools in America (and Canada?)

Looking at the list, the West-Coast and Southern schools are owning everyone else in social activity, and this East-coast girl is more than disappointed. Out of ten schools, only Penn State is representing us in the league of beer-pong, keg stands and flip cup. Thank you, Happy Valley for showing up. Personally, for the school that invented State Patty’s Day, I think these kids deserve top billing, but there’s always next year.

Never to be forgotten, we have the lovely institution of Arizona State, which always makes the list thanks to their Sun Devils dedication. I think the fact that their beloved “Pitchfork” resembles “The Shocker” says all about how these kids get down. Whatever you’re into, right? Who cares if your diploma holds less value than a GED, when you’re surrounded by the best parties and a college bar town that cannot be rivaled in all of America? Read More »

So I don’t know if you ladies have heard or not, but everyone’s favorite heart-throb Hugh Hefner is settling down…again. And this time with 24-year-old Crystal Harris. PopEater tells us that two are getting closer and closer to making it official now that they’ve set a date for the big day. (Read more about that here!) And while Hugh’s ex, Holly Madison, worries about what would happen to Hugh if the two were to divorce I can’t help but wonder what will happen to Crystal if they don’t!

Think about it. Hugh is 84 years old. Crystal is 24 years old. The are 60 years apart! How could this possibly work? Crystal may be thinking of all the things (read: money) she’ll be gaining by marrying Hugh, but maybe she should stop to consider all she’ll be giving up. Marrying an 84-year-old means her life will not be like the average 24-year-old girl’s life, and here’s why.

Maybe in an attempt to make up for all the cheating and divorcing that went on this past year, half of Hollywood seemed to get engaged over the holidays. I guess they really let the Christmas spirit get to them. Either way, congrats celebs. I only hope that at least one of these couples will still be around come 2012.

Have you tried 8 Body products yet? You should.

How to look fancy without going broke.

I love the way I look. I’m confident and generally pleased with my body in a bikini. Well, at least I am now… after my breast enhancement. That’s right, I have implants and I’m not ashamed of it.

I’ll give you a moment to get all your thoughts and comments out of the way:

“I can’t believe you succumbed to breast implants just to fill some ignorant societal notion that ‘bigger is better.’”
“Getting implants is so slutty.”
“You’re an embarrassment to women and should be ashamed for fueling the fire for women to attain an impossible body image.”

Trust me. I’ve heard it all. But maybe it’s time for you to hear my side of the story. I’m not giving you the stink eye for going all natural (or spending all your money on Victoria’s Secret’s latest push-up), so hear me out. Read More »

I’m a resolution maker. I think January 1 is a great time to stop, think about the things you want to do better for yourself, and start the improvement process. And while I’ve set a few for myself this year (thanks to that post-holiday trip to the scale), what I’m most excited for are the resolutions I’ve set for my relationship.

Matt and I have made it through our first whole calendar year together and we have a lot to look back on and think about. Seeing where we went wrong and discussing what we can do to make it better in the new year can help our relationship (pssst. this can help yours, too!) become strong and help us become more aware of each other. Now that we both know each other better than anyone else in this world, we should have a better sense of what we should and can do to make our relationship even better.

So here are just a few little things I will be working on in my relationship in 2010. No relationship is perfect – perhaps a few of these will help you and yours. Read More »
