A wise Alpha Kitty said, “Let them eat salmon.”

Damn! If only I would have known sooner, I wouldn’t have such a mammoth pimple on the side of my chin…ha!

Have I lost you? See what I mean and watch.

Atoosa Rubenstein, creator of CosmoGIRL! and pervious Editor In Chief of both CosmoGIRL! and Seventeen is feeding the hungry kitty in us all with new video content on her Alpha Kitty You Tube Channel.

I watched, I laughed, and I think Atoosa brings the… for lack of a better word, weirdness, in us all.

Aren’t you a little curious?

You may recognize Jen from MTV’s Miss Seventeen, but here at College Candy, Jen is our new Vlogger! Check out her introduction to you all, and be sure to leave any questions for her in the comments!

Is your freshman year a little bumpier than expected? College making you feel more like an outsider than part of a community? Think you’re the only one with these problems?

Well, Seventeen magazine and MySpace want to ease your worries (and make a profit from our current reality TV craze) by giving the world a “web based reality program” called Freshman 15.

“The magazine and MySpace will follow 15 girls in print and online through the demanding first year of college”, each one from a different and “diverse” background.

According to one source, every girl will have her own MySpace profile that will be frequently updated with clips, pictures and blogs—which makes me think the whole thing will be a lot more manufactured than the producers are letting on.

And having cameras follow you around sort of defeats the purpose of being completely real, doesn’t it? Shouldn’t these girls be focusing on school and not on whether or not they got a comment on MySpace?

How much you want to bet these girls pull a Lauren Conrad and drop out as soon as the show hits the air?

Either way, Freshman 15 will debut in the October issue of Seventeen magazine and run through May 2008. Read More »

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 »
