For some reason, I can’t stop listening to this little ditty by Ciara….
I think it might be because Ciara is lookin’ hot when she’s dressed like a dude. And then of course, you can never go wrong with a good ol’ fashioned crotch grab.

Ugh. I have to be up at 5 a.m. tomorrow so that I can go to the gym and then make it into the city by 8 a.m. so I can attend an Academy of Art University teaching conference.
With BART acting so slow and annoying lately (and considering I am at the end of the [...]

I hate it when my friends call my douche “outdated.” It makes me feel so uncool. I know I always try to keep in vogue when it comes to the latest technological and fashionable advances in a douche.
Is it me or were people more open about their douching back in the ’80s and ’90s?
That jingle [...]

On a lazy Sunday afternoon, I was in hangin’ with my friend Steve in the city. And what better way to enjoy the beautiful weather than to look for workout supplements at a random Rite Aid on Market Street?!
Anyways, as I walked in, I immediately saw this girl standing in front of an aisle endcap [...]

…until the 2010 winter Olympics.
Still, I am kind of sad. What am I going to watch now? I mean, I actually watched the U.S.A. vs. Espana basketball game on Saturday night. And I NEVER watch basketball. I felt so butch and jockish.
There’s no more swimming, gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, track and field, diving….I was really getting [...]

Yeah, I know I haven’t been keeping up with the show lately, but whatever. I am too busy trying to handle my business.
I actually read the results beforehand via blogs that are based in different time zones, but alas, the winner of this season is…
SASS TIMES SEVEN!!!
Okay, just joking. The crew that won this [...]

If you haven’t seen this commercial, than you obviously haven’t been watching the Olympics…they have been playing it NON STOP throughout the telecast…
Really? Is that Shannon Miller from the illustrious Magnificent Seven from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics?
Here she is IN ACTION back in the day:
I remember watching her in 1996 thinking that she had to [...]

The other night after eating a garlic noodle/salt and pepper-infused dinner at PPQ, I was surrounded by my friends fiddling with their iPhones, Blackberries and all of that other techie cell phone jazz. I, on the other hand, was looking at my Nokia. It’s plain. It doesn’t have a camera and it dates back to [...]

Just when I thought my kitschy adoration for Danity Kane has subsided, I watched their new video for “Bad Girl”:
The lyrics are so profound: When the red light comes on I transform…
I love the comic book feel. And thank God Missy tears it up in this song, otherwise this song would’ve been really lame!!!

What do you do when you’ve already had Sex and the City fashion icon Sarah Jessica Parker on Project Runway? Well, you work your way down the “four cosmopolitan women in Manhattan” food chain and ask Brooke Shields from Lipstick Jungle to be a guest judge.
Okay, okay – Brooke Shields’ style expands above and beyond [...]
