VA VOOM

Mindy Kaling 
Continuing her streak of proving the undeniable benefits of your costumer being your stylist: He clearly creates stuff that makes her feel both celebrated and comfortable, which is truly the ideal on the red carpet (or at least, I would imagine). Obviously the GFY HQ costumer is totally sleeping on the styling job, and I Read More ...

Nature Lovers Will Totally Love This Line Of Living Jewelry

Etsy artist Susan McLeary is selling a collection of living jewelry. She’s got rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and more pieces featuring an adornment of succulents. Super pretty stuff. Living jewelry, eh? I guess it’s better than dying jewelry, which is what it would be if it were in my possession. I have whatever the opposite […]

To make up for the fact that we can’t get four more years with President Obama, the universe has blessed us with a few more seasons of America’s Next Top Model. After being cancelled late last year, the competition that’s turned dozens of aspiring models into household nobodies has been picked by Vh1.

Why You Should Give Carnations a Second Chance — Flower Power

by Geraldine Campbell
Erin H

i love carnations! they smell nice, they have seemingly unlimited petals, they come in every color you can imagine, and they last cut for 2 weeks or more. carnations get a bad rap.

We love flowers all the time — on special occasions like Valentine's Day or just because — and why not? They look and smell amazing, and brighten every space in the house. But keeping a vase of fresh-cut flowers isn't always the most economical option. That's where budget buds, like carnations, daisies, and mums, come in. Often written off as common, cheap, and un-special, these blooms can look surprisingly sophisticated — and they're available at nearly every grocery store or deli.

Erin H

why can't i be a woman AND a werewolf?

broken-skies-and-angel-wings:

This guy I was talking to was saying how women play sports just as well as men, and he said, “One time I was reffing a womens softball game, on the full moon, and -“ 

And I was like, ” Why does it matter that it was on the full moon?“ 

and he was like “Well, you know, the full moon… women on the full moon" 

and i was like ‘I don’t get it' 

and he was like “Periods" 

and he thought all women just get their periods on the full moon and i just thought it was really funny that he confused women with werewolves.

Aunjanue Ellis (Quantico) has been outspoken on the subject of the Confederate flag and its imagery, as recently as Sundance wearing a shirt about it, and refusing to work on any projects that associate with her home state of Mississippi (which still bears the symbol on its state flag).

No. Next question.

Does This Greek Sculpture Show Its Subject Using A Laptop?

Conspiracy theorists are wigging out over this Greek sculpture of a woman because it sure as hell looks like she’s using a laptop. This doesn’t surprise me IN THE LEAST. However, I am absolutely jealous that this lady has her own laptop servant. Where the hell do you get one of those? Oh right — […]

'Souping Is the New Juicing,' Suggest Jerks

by Madeleine Davies
Erin H

SUZANNE

In mid January, I was diagnosed with esophagitis after an antibiotic horse pill prescribed by a dermatologist got lodged in my esophagus and burned it. What this means technically is that the tube connecting my throat and stomach was constantly inflamed. What this means practically is that I spent nearly two weeks consuming nothing but yogurt and room-temperature soups because eating anything else felt akin to swallowing large shards of ceramic pottery.

Hear Zendaya's Sizzling 'Something New' With Chris Brown

Erin H

disappointed that women continue to work with garbage person chris brown.

Rising pop star Zendaya is working on the follow-up to her self-titled debut album, and her new single, "Something New" featuring Chris Brown, seems an apt title for the Disney Channel's "K.C. Undercover" star, which she also co-produces. Zendaya has been a favorite amidst the tween set as a Disney star and...

#58 When the band comes back out for an encore

by Neil Pasricha
Erin H

this is the first one i've really disagreed with. encores are masturbatory. don't make me stand there clapping for 10 minutes. play your songs, thank me for coming, and get the fuck out.

What a show.

Flashing lights, sweaty shirts, and screaming crowds get loud while guitars jam, voices scream, and everyone sings along. Now the song’s all gone and we’re suddenly left with a hyped up scene in the afterglow of the show.

Screaming for the band to give an encore is like screaming for extra pudding when you’re a kid. The main course is done, you got your money’s worth, but now you want a little more. Encores are olives at the bottom of the martini, sugary milk at the bottom of the bowl, or like those little extra scene after the movie credits roll.

So cheer and chant, clap and stomp, and let’s get them back for one last song.

AWESOME!

Big news, everyone! My new book The Happiness Equation hits March 8th, 2016! I am so pumped to share exciting pre-order details with you on February 15th. Stay tuned!

Alice, Is It Weird to Have a "House Warming" Party Somewhere Other Than the New House? — Ask Alice: Advice for Life at Home

by Ask Alice

yes. next question.

Dear Alice,

A friend purchased a home for herself. She has never been married and has no children. I offered a house warming party/shower of sorts but she does not want people getting the new home dirty. Her mother said we need to have the "house warming" somewhere other than her daughter's house. I think this is poor taste. Am I wrong?

There are dating apps for every fetish and even one that matches people to potential pets , but what about an app that helps women make new female friends? Finally, there is one, and it’s called Hey! VINA. It works similarly to Tinder, but instead of sexy hookups, it connects new female friends with each other through shared interests, favorite activities and “life stage.”

President Obama Announces New Steps to Close the Pay Gap 

by Ellie Shechet on The Slot, shared by Jia Tolentino to Jezebel
Erin H

FTA:
Republicans like Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn) have noted that laws like the Paycheck Fairness Act would only result in “more lawsuits,” which, as Erin Ryan previously pointed out on this site, “is a fun way to admit that businesses are probably paying women less in a way that’s egregious enough to merit legal action.”
OH SNAP

On Friday, President Obama announced a plan requiring companies with over 100 employees to annually report salary data by race, gender and ethnicity, the New York Times reports.

Is It OK To Order Delivery During A Snowstorm?

by Barry Petchesky on Adequate Man, shared by Emma Carmichael to Jezebel
Erin H

NO. next question.

Much of the East Coast is about to get slammed by a nor’easter, with areas in and around Washington D.C. set to receive up to two feet or more of snow. Schools have been canceled, airports are functionally shut down, and even D.C.’s Metro is set to shutter for the weekend. But you’re hungry, and you’ve either got nothing on hand, or nothing you’ve got would hit the spot quite like some General Tso’s chicken. What do you do?
