Gallery: Jennifer Lopez Wears Swimsuits, Shows She’s Still Got It In Vogue
In the June issue of Vogue, pop star/actress/The Voice judge Jennifer Lopez can be seen wearing various designer bathing suits and demonstrating that she still has “it” despite the fact that at 42, she’s well over the age at which most Hollywood starlets are taken behind the woodshed and shot. But what does “it” even mean? Here, I will venture to guess what “it” is that J-Lo has in each of her swimsuit photos. Besides a gravity-defying ass and aristocratic bone structure, I mean. More »

Weight Watchers’ Weigh-Ins Need To Stop
I recently attended a local Weight Watchers meeting to speak about an upcoming charity walk/bike ride. Much to my surprise, when I walked in, the receptionist at the front table asked if I “needed to be weighed.” No, I don’t “need” to be weighed, I told her. No one “needs” to be weighed. To me, weighing people in public is just offensive and humiliating. And it goes against everything I believe in about how to get people healthy.
I get that Weight Watchers is all about helping people lose weight. Really, I do. But I don’t believe in scales. As a matter of fact, when I used to be a personal trainer (who worked with a lot of women trying to lose weight), I always advised them not to weigh themselves. Because, quite simply, weighing yourself is a recipe for disaster. More »
Men Tell Us: If They Care Whether Or Not A Woman Can Cook
No? That’s a 1950′s archetype, right? Because people do not go around saying “hey good lookin’, what you got cookin’?” Or “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach?” Because that’s not true. What’s the way to a man’s heart? Through his chest cavity. Who knows that? This guy: More »

Girl Scouts Leaders Are Stealing Cookie Money From Their Girls
When it was reported that Girls Scouts troop leader Ana Juarez was charged with stealing $6,000 worth of cookie money from her troop, the mother seemed to stand along in her deplorable crime. The shame of not only stealing from children, but also from her very own 6-year-old daughter who was also in the troop, would make any parent hope that this was an isolated incident. But apparently, Girl Scout leaders getting their hand caught in the cookie jar is by no means a rare occurrence.
A reader named Brandy commented on Mommyish that instances of money theft in Girl Scouts are not “unheard of.” When she was a Brownie, another parent stole cookie money from her mother’s Girl Scouts troop. She added, “There isn’t enough oversight of money.” More »
Were You Bullied As A Kid? I Was.
To announce that I was bullied as a kid, as if I was the first and last to be so, would be insulting to every other person who has ever been bullied. I was not the first, I will certainly not be the last and as long as kids go without appropriate punishment for their actions, which have far too often resulted in those being bullied taking their own lives, it will continue. While my experience isn’t as severe as other stories out there, it is a story worth sharing if only to prove that more needs to be done to stop this fucked up behavior. More »
Thin Models Actually Don’t Make Most Women Buy Clothes
There’s no one reason why fashion models are extremely thin. You’ll hear everything from clients, sample sizes, and agency demands to competition between models and the public that buys magazines featuring them. One of the more steadfast beliefs, though, is that models are thin because fashion is “aspirational” and women want to buy more than clothes: they want some abstract impossible thinness, youth, beauty, etc. As one researcher says, “It’s better to use extremely thin models because that’s what makes women feel bad about themselves and want to buy the products.” More »
