Am I Right, Ladies? Fictional Guys That Make My Ovaries Shrivel Part Two
My previous post on un-appealing fictional men seemed to cause some discussion, so why not find a few more ovary-shrivelers? Jim Halpert, The Office Once upon a time in the early seasons, Jim Halpert was cute, smart, and helplessly in love with his best friend Pam. We were all rooting for her to break up…
Read MoreAm I Right, Ladies? Fictional Men That Make My Ovaries Shrivel
I get a crush on a fictional character practically every time I turn on the tv or watch a movie (Ben Wyatt, call me!). There are some, however, that just have such negative appeal that make me physically cringe from repulsion. This is not about their physical attractiveness, because as we all know, actors are…
Read MoreAm I Right Ladies? In Defense of Lindsay Lohan
Look, let’s leave Lindsay Lohan alone. Many people are saying that her hosting stint on Saturday Night Live this weekend was one of the worst ever. I mean, really? The worst? Have you seen the January Jones episode? For some reason, I’ve felt really defensive about Lindsay. I mean, I’m not in full Chris Crocker…
Read MoreThe Pinterest Drinking Game
We need another social media site like we need a hole in the head. I’m baffled by the insane growing popularity of Pinterest. For those not up on your social media, Pinterest allows users to create “pinboards†based on categories like “books I loveâ€, “My Styleâ€, “Favorite Products†and any other categories the user wants.…

Believe me, it’s not for lack of trying. The Hunger Games Trilogy (the books) are worth the hype. I can confidently say they were some of the best books I’ve ever read in my life. In my life. And I don’t throw that superlative around lightly. I will always prefer the experience of reading a…

I just finished a tv binge in which I watched the whole first season of Homeland in three days. Let me sum that up by saying holy shit, this show is so effing good. As is, it’s only one season but it may be in my top five of all time (kicking out Dexter,…
Read MoreAm I Right Ladies? – My Most Memorable Pop Culture Fashion Moments
There are many iconic film and tv scenes that stay with us for many reasons. Maybe because it really spoke to you, maybe you related to the character, maybe it kicked off your sexual development (Phoebe Cates in the red bikini, anyone?). For me, I remember the outfits. I was raised on pop culture, learning…
Read MoreAm I Right Ladies? The Bachelor is Destroying America
January 2 marks the return of the sixteenth season of The Bachelor. And I plan on doing some serious hate-watching. The Bachelor premiered with a simple, demeaning premise: a single man “dates†25 women and eliminates them week-by-week until there is one woman left, to whom he proposes to. What a romantic story, right? “Just…
