There’s been a reoccurring trend in the fashion world lately. Shoes are getting higher and higher these days. Three inches? Four inches? Five inches?  I’ve even seen six inch heels that are now considered chic. And while they look great on the pages of Elle and Vogue and in that online shopping cart you start but never check out, when taken out of context they might not look so chic. In fact, they might actually look like, well… stripper heels.

Laugh all you want but these days there’s a fine line between chic and cheap, between designer heels and stripper heels of the exact same height.

Think you can tell the difference? Test your knowledge. I promise, it’s not as easy as you think!

You did NOT just call me 'Sugartits.'

So we all know that guys constantly complain about how girls are always saying things to make them go running (you know, like “Wanna hang out tonight?” or “I like your jeans.”) But hey, NEWSFLASH, guys aren’t so innocent. They say and do plenty of horrendous stuff that makes us want to pack our bags (without even wasting the time to fold things neatly!) and run in the opposite direction, too.

The girls at the Frisky were kind enough to let the guys know what was scaring them off, so I figured I’d chime in, too.

Here are a few things that guys have said/done that have sent my flying out the door and into the nearest bakery:

“Men are better at sports, it’s just fact.”
Really? What are you going to do next? Drag me back to your cave and chain me to the fire pit?

“Yeah, my iPad 2 is cool, but it’s nothing compared to my Range Rover.”
Honestly, I don’t care if you make more money than The Situation, I’m more interested in getting to know you as a person, not your bank account. And if all you have to offer is your (dad’s) money, then don’t expect me to be sitting in the passenger seat of your ‘pimped out whip’ any time soon, douche.

“So the other night when I was with this girl and we were…”
Look, I don’t care if you are seeing other people (so long as we are not exclusive), but I don’t want to hear about it. Do you want to hear about the amazing makeout sesh I had in the stacks last weekend? I think not. Read More »

So you know how celebs are always telling us that they’re just like you and me, that underneath their cool clothes and their fancy cars and their mansions, they’re just normal people? Well, it turns out they weren’t lying. It turns out they have unachievable dreams too. While we spend our time wishing we could be more like them, certain celebs are wishing and waiting for the day they’ll get to play their idols. Some of them have a thing for comic book heroes. Others prefer remakes or Tim Burton movies.  And some well, some are just weird.

Want to know who Robert Pattinson wishes he could play? (I always thought he was playing his dream role!) What about Channing Tatum (It’s hot.)  Justin Bieber? (It’s disturbing.)  Bradley Cooper? (It’s swoon worthy.) How about Jennifer Garner or Nicki Minaj?

"Ok, so I'm on top. What do I do now!?"

Losing your virginity is huge. It’s been built up since the birds and the bees talk, and everyone you know gives you a different description of what it’s actually going to be like.

Grandma preaches about how she waited for marriage and how the only man she ever slept with was your grandfather, which kept her from getting those dirty diseases the youngsters are getting these days. Your parents just beg you to wait for college when you’re out of their house, and protect yourself so you aren’t bringing home their grandchildren on your winter break. Then there’s your slutty friend who boasted about how great it was and had all the boys following her through the halls of high school.

But when we sit down and look back on how it actually was when we decided to lose our virginity, it isn’t easily summed up into one simple tip or anecdote. It was more like a 30-minute (if you were one of the lucky ones) progression into womanhood.

After reading The Frisky’s perspective on the stages men go through when losing their virginity, I was not only enlightened (seriously, who knew guys thought so much?!), but it got me thinking of my own first time and the stages I went through as it was all goin’ down.

In yesterday’s Candy Dish, we linked out to a story that gave advice on how to be the best hookup. Not in a “do this with your tongue” sort of way, but more of a “be courteous and don’t overstay your welcome” deal. We thought the topic was a great one, but upon further inspection I realized that I didn’t quite agree with the tips that were given.

In fact, they made me sort of angry.

The writer’s tips can be summed up simply as, “Get up, get out, and make sure you look pretty when ya do it.” What? Is it 1950? Is there a reason the woman should have to tip toe (literally) around the sleeping prince? Should she have to exit quietly so as not to disturb his life?

You spent the night with a guy – which is your right – so why should you feel like a trampy nobody in the morning? Own it. Be there. Enjoy it.

In response to their post, we are going to give you our tips. And not make you feel bad for gettin’ frisky with a strapping young lad:

They Said: Get up and get out.

We Say: Unless you don’t like the idea of morning sex, we recommend sticking around for a bit. You are already there, why not enjoy a morning activity that both of you are clearly going to want? And if morning sex isn’t your thing, don’t sneak out. That just looks shady. Wake the boy up, tell him you had a great time but have to get back home, and kiss him goodbye.

They Said: Kiss Him Goodbye

We Say: We do agree with this one; no matter how bad the hookup (and you know some of those college boys have no clue what they are doing) give him a kiss goodbye. If you liked it, leave your number. It is a tad strange to spend an entire evening naked with someone and doing many a-naughty thing only to get all shy and run out in the morning. Plus, why should you run? You didn’t force this guy to take you home – he invited you. Don’t feel weird about it in the morning. Read More »
