An Illustrated Guide to What We Girls are Thinking
Bad news, women. Just when we thought we'd perfected the feminine mystique, suddenly The Man comes along and cracks our code. And when I say "The Man," I mean, of course, "match.com." Now that our secret is out, it's up to us girls to clarify to the world just what match.com is talking about.
Notice I say "us girls.” That's right. As a concerned and scrupulous journalist committed to giving you the Whole Story, I feel it is my duty to Read More>

In a lot of ways, I’m so not the target market for this TV show. Vampires were never really my thing…but make them southern vampires with werewolves, shape-shifters and a ghetto-fabulous fry cook thrown in? Well, color me addicted.
First off, let’s get the requisite fawning out of the way: I LOVE this show. It’s so campy yet well-written (and well-acted)! The writers really have a great dynamic between twisted, out-there, hilarious moments and the truly dramatic -- though, somehow, I

Last season's cast grabbed your interest the second you heard the names...Pamela Anderson, Kate Gosselin, Shannen Doherty. Images of bitch slappin' danced through our heads. This year not so much. ABC just announced it during "The Bachelor Pad" and if the headliners are really Bristol Palin and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, lightening may have struck for the last time.Â
Secondly, many people question the show's professional dancer vs. non-dancer format. Wasn't it more fun to be pleasa

My friend Julie and I have been close since the third grade, so there isn’t much we don’t know about each other. Recently, Julie came to Portland, Oregon to play. I had just moved to the Northwest a year ago to start a new life after living in Atlanta for nearly 15 years and working in corporate America. In my new city, I was still eager to try new things and see a familiar face.
Julie’s visit was two-fold: to try out as many different beers from the Northwest as possible and to run th

Raise your hand if you have good friends. Ok, nice. Raise your hand if you have good friends who live far away and you don’t get to see them very often. Ok, got it. Now, raise your hand if you PURPOSELY AVOID ANSWERING THE PHONE when that person calls for fear of a conversation lasting longer than Meatloaf’s “I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)” (I still don’t know what “that” is).
That’s what I thought.
We all do it. Don’t be shy about it. You haven’t

The kids aren’t the only ones that can be going back to school. Now’s the time to register for some classes if you want to just pick up a hobby, learn about something you always wanted to know, become more fascinating, meet single guys with similar interests or just do something different with your friends.
Here are our five top recommends:
1. Cooking School – this is a fun way alone or with friends to liven up your cooking repertoire (or get one if your specialty is boiling water).

I dropped 50 ugly pounds in an afternoon! Really, I did, but not human avoirdupois of the liposuction-able kind. No, I finally got brave and sans souci and… French, evidently, I must’ve gotten French. Avoirdupois and sans souci in the same paragraph, mon Dieu!
At any rate, I have a love/hate relationship with many things, and in this case, with magazines. I love magazines. The intentionally captivating cover art, the provocative headlines, the faintly perfumed air about them (despi Read More>

I don't know why the Internet hates Jennifer Aniston so much. Maybe blogger types identify more with Angie's elusive mysteriousness (if we're going to keep beating this Jen-Brangie rivalry to death). Now, don't get me wrong, I love Angelina Jolie -- but Jen's pretty cool, too. There's no reason for hateration.
If you haven't been following (and I'm sure you have much better things to do), Jennifer Aniston apparently loves her some Barbra Streisand. So much so she impersonates Babs's

I have no domestic abilities. None whatsoever. I was born that way. All the other girl babies – there are no exceptions – were born equipped with Li’l Doer Complete Domestic Ability Sets (©Mattel, made in China), whereas I came into the world with a rare disorder that prohibits me from telling, for instance, a bed sham from a deviated septum. Oh, sure, that might not SOUND like a big problem to you but just wait until the day you go to a deviated septum convention. “Oh my gosh!” youâ
