Vaginal Homogeny, & Why the US Media Isn’t Ready for Real Sex
Because this post discusses pornography, many of the links are not safe for work. Those links will have a star (*) next to them. If you’re uncertain of the content of a link, wait to click until you get home. Last week the whole blogosphere was run amok with sex, as Rabbit White’s Lady Porn [...]
The History of Shaving
Last night, I shaved my legs. It’s been…months? I’m not even sure anymore. The entire time, I was thinking about Molly and Cristen. No, I don’t have two hot new girlfriends. Molly and Cristen work for HowStuffWorks.com, and both podcasted at Stuff Mom Never Told You. (Cristen still does – Molly’s working in other areas [...]

We’ve all heard about gladiator sandals… And [...]

Boyception: How Our Partners View Our Style
Hi. This is Elle. Yesterday, my boyfriend called me a “diva”. A DIVA, ladies. Don’t get me wrong, I know I have (ahem) assets, but a diva, I am not. I do not have any large hats with big bows on them. I do not own a dress made from sequins. I do not require [...]
