When you first start dating someone, most women pay close attention to the details: legs are always shaven, eyebrows are perfectly plucked, and the best outfits are in full rotation. But just like everything else, the initial excitement dwindles, and for some, so does the desire to appear perfect. Keeping the fire alive is crucial in all relationships so it's important not to let yourself slip, but ladies, do tell, what do you let fall by the wayside when you're comfortably committed to someone?
Think you have a pretty good idea how TV news insiders would talk about Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann behind their backs? Radar went looking to confirm those suspicions in their feature "Head Trauma: Insiders Reveal Television's Most Hated Pundits." Sounds good, right? There are juicy quotes aplenty like this about Keith Olbermann: "He's just a full-blown, red-in-the-face screamer," followed by, "his disregard for those beneath him is almost comical." Ooh. And we thought O'Reilly was the screamer.
The Radar list of hated new folks reminded me of the Maxim list of sexiest news anchors (hey, I have a brother. I hear things) and I'm convinced that surely there must be a middle ground. What's between love and hate? Ah, the all powerful remote button. Here are the top ten newscasters, that while I'm sure are lovely people, make me change the channel.
And by "reworking," I mean the elimination of all attempts at narrative, acting, or any pretense that this "professor meets Hungarian immigrant" porn is about anything but meaningless, grim sex. I say, less bad acting, more shtupping!
Everyone gets angry, but some of us tend to snap more easily than others. Maybe it's a frustrating customer service representative or an irritating comment from a family member, but suddenly your anger flares up in a bout of bad temper. Fortunately, I don't get heated easily, but I'd be lying if I said that stress didn't bring out my temper. Are you prone to fits of fury?
Being the traditionalist that I am, I can say, hands down, that wearing white to someone else's wedding is a major no-no. Dresses with white in them are OK, but competing with the wedding gown is just plain tacky. For whatever reason, not all people feel the same way — I've been to a handful of weddings where guests wore white, so tell me where you stand on the subject. Is wearing white to a wedding a faux pas in your eyes are do you think that in this day and age, anything goes?
In the fight for girl power, three women have jumped into the ring in the past 24 hours with very different viewpoints. Katie Couric, in Israel covering Obama's world tour made this striking proclamation:
I find myself in the last bastion of male dominance, and realizing what Hillary Clinton might have realized not long ago: that sexism in the American society is more common than racism, and certainly more acceptable or forgivable.
Sexism trumps racism? So what's a girl to do? Oh! I know! We'll ask Brooke Hogan (of the dubiously-named Brooke Knows Best) what the role for women should be! Here's her take:
I think it's kind of crazy that a woman is running because I think that women deal with a lot of emotions and menopause and PMS and stuff. Like, I'm so moody all the time, I know I couldn't be able to run a country, because I would be crying one day and yelling at people the next day, you know?
Surely a gal has to be Wonder Woman to exist in both realms, fighting for a world where woman can and should be allowed to do it all, amid the utterings of a generation of Brooke Hogans who glimpsed the dream of equality and said, "nah." That superhero fighting could be the very element that's undoing feminism. To see how, read more
