Die Yuppie Scum?
It’s disconcerting how the word yuppie is still being used a decade into this millennium. I thought it had died in the early ‘90s. Using the term makes you sound like an aging, out-of-touch punk […]

Better Fat Than Hairy
Well, that’s one way to desensitize Americans to plus-sized models in high fashion magazines (French Vogue, of course. We’re a little behind. Even Vogue Italy has The Curvy Blog). Show them some pubic hair (whether […]
Goldrust
I definitely have some hoarder tendencies, and I'm afraid that actually using your saved crap might even be worse than letting it pile up. Normally, I wear orangey-brown eye shadow colors but knew I […]
