Sexiest Quotes of the Week: Sex With Celebrities

So you think you can drink? The Daily Beast has listed the 40 drunkest cities in America. The rankings were determined by the percentage of citizens identified as binge drinkers and the number of booze-related deaths. Some of the selections won’t surprise you (list-topper Milwaukee is known as a beer capital, plus they’ve had three Socialist mayors), but some of the others (New York City is nowhere to be found, and Reno beat Las Vegas) will. Here’s the top ten: More »

An Open Letter to Stephenie Meyer About ‘The Host’
So I just got finished reading your 2008 novel The Host. Which, according to the promo copy, is your first book aimed at adults. So was I expecting it to be leaps and bounds better than the drivel that was the Twilight Saga? No. Was it? No. But I can say this, Stephenie Meyer: you are not, as many in the literary world would like to believe, a wholly shitty writer. You’re really not. You have some good ideas and, obviously, some incredibly marketable ones. Your plots are so compelling that otherwise self-respecting readers like me will plow through four ridiculously long books full of middle-school-level language just to find out what happens between Bella and Edward and Jacob.

Why I Loathe New Year’s Eve
My father, the avid partier he was back in the day, has always declared New Year’s Eve as “Rookies’ Night Out.” He saw the overly hyped-up, inflated-priced evening as the night where everyone else goes out to make up for the 364 nights they stayed home. Like me, my father doesn’t need a reason to spend too much money on alcohol, get dressed to the nines and raise hell… that’s what every Friday and Saturday are for (and sometimes Tuesday and Thursday, too, depending on the week).

Modeling is an incredibly tough industry to make it in. However, there’s one almost-foolproof way for a model to go from making a living to making it big: hooking up with a high profile celebrity.

Best Named Beauty Products: Chanel
If I bought this nail polish — Black Velvet by Chanel — I suppose I’d have to learn the rest of the lyrics to the song so that I wasn’t stuck all day repeating “black velvet, if you please” in my head with no place to go after that. It might be worth it for that reason.
Tattoo Paper Towels: A Timid Leap Into Rock N’ Roll
I don’t have any tattoos myself, so it’s not like I’m making some headlong foray into the world of badassery, such that I can point the finger at others who aren’t living similarly bold lifestyles. But if you want to inject a little rock n’ roll into your life without having to wonder how it will look when you’re 90, try out these tattoo paper towel rolls.
They certainly beat pastel stripes.
Hooray For Drive-Thru Sex Toy Shopping
Remember back in the day, when if you wanted to buy a vibrator you had to summon every ounce of self-confidence and make your way to a sketchy, dark store full of twitchy-looking men?
Yeah — me too. It was a time known as “before I knew about Babeland.” More »
Poll: Do You Think Men Are Intimidated By You?
We’ve all heard this before, right, ladies? Sometimes, our most successful single friends are convinced that they intimidate men, and that’s why they find themselves alone.
Well, I’ll be frank. Whenever I hear someone say that, I just want to call bullshit. But I don’t, because that would be mean, and usually what’s going on is that my friend is feeling down about being single and wants to find a reason for it that involves boosting herself up instead of putting herself down.

Design: Flashback to Elementary School
I’m not sure that I want to be reminded, every morning, of desks underneath which all manner of nastiness was stuck, but that aside, this alpine bedside table by Modernica is adorable. If I could get the image of chewed gum (and worse) out of my mind, I’d love it.
