For those familiar with the littlest Hitler, Adolf H. Campbell, who seems to exemplify the absolute worst case scenario for every adorable child you have secretly wanted to rescue from his terrifying parents after observing them in a grocery store and just knowing that whatever’s going on there can’t be any good, the question of […]

1. Yoga for people who are drunk all of the time. 2. Narcissism: personality disorder or Self-Esteem Plus? 3. Which natural herbal remedy can get you totally baked? (Hint: it’s not what you think.) (Hint: oh, okay, it is.) 4. Why all of my adult relationships are apparently modeled on this clip: (Oh, and I […]

Answer: they are both douches. Today, as you may be aware, is the Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. In a culture where it’s cool to play a game that has a “fuck prostitute then beat her to get your money back” option (yeah, I know, you can kill anyone in GTA, and maybe […]

This will soon be followed by […]

WHAT. So, for those keeping track, that’s Marilyn, Jayne, and Betty (the most shameless, and therefore most lovable one – you’ve got to like a girl who can fondle a riding crop while smiling like she’s in a Sears family portrait) gone. It’s weird that people think of ’50s porn as cute, harmless “vintage erotica” […]

Anyone who takes it upon herself to write lady business book reviews must, sooner or later, file a piece on Jane Austen. (It is a truth universally acknowledged! Ha, NO.)

… Ugh. That’ll learn me not to Make Statements while I’m drunk. Seriously: the “calling in gay and/or Bjork” thing? I had meant to post something in support of it, and I also thought it was funny that when I told someone I missed work he said, “oh, you called in gay!” And then I […]
