Sarah Haskins Reviews Lessons of 2009

TresSugar — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:15:03 PST

This year, Sarah Haskins got a little discouraged. She thought, maybe we can't be perfect wives, mothers, career women, and super-hot sex babes all at once. But then she turned on the TV and remembered that an abundance of stuff makes anything possible. When you're a woman, happiness is just one purchase away.

Say What? Sarah Haskins Rages Against the Machine

TresSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:00:00 PST

“As the Internet and TV and movies all become one scary machine in your living room, it’s important that we all have some level of media literacy."

- Sarah Haskins, who sends up ads directed at women in her amazing Target Women clips on Current TV. She thinks advertisers show how clueless they are about women by doing two incompatible things at once: "trying to still use some of the traditional gender roles, while also trying to match the changes . . . in the past 40 to 50 years."

Learn How to Get Hot Chicks: Don't Watch TV Ads

TresSugar — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 01:00:00 PDT

If men listened to television ads, they'd think that smaller was better (BK Burger Bites), that women love the smell of rancid cologne (Axe), and that you can cover up the fact that you haven't bathed or washed your sheets in ages (Febreze). Not only that, but they'd think that really hot chicks don't just put up with that stuff - they looove it! (And we wonder why men and women have trouble knowing what the other half wants.)

Sarah Haskins: "Bloody Hell, I'm Old"

TresSugar — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 02:00:00 PDT

Sarah Haskins turned 30 recently - and she’s worried she’s “f*cked” because it seems that only ladies with short, blond hair represent products that usher one into old-ladyhood, complete with bladder issues and osteoporosis. She wants to still be able to walk with canoes, play with oranges, and feel 29 again. How to do this? Use products with dynamic first syllables. Works for me!

The other day someone suggested that the book He's Just Not That Into You be required reading for adolescent girls destined to chase after uninterested men. It may be true that a lot of women have found help from relationship books, but when you pile up all the how-to-fall-in-love books out there, it's easy to feel like publishers are trying to make you panic your way into marriage. At least that's what Sarah Haskins makes of it all. Check out her most recent video all about the dating advice industry.

Sarah Haskins: The Cougar's on the Prowl

TresSugar — Fri, 29 May 2009 11:30:00 PDT

In the past "cougar" may have been a demeaning way to describe a single woman preying on younger men, but TV Land's latest reality show, The Cougar, is reclaiming the title for all women who like to date men younger than their children. The 40-year-old star Stacy feels like Eve in the Garden of Eden, surrounded by men in their 20s who show her their abs, jump in pools, and make her cocktails. Check out these highlights from the season and Sarah Haskins's take on the ridiculousness.

Sarah Haskins: The Obsession With Michelle Obama's Arms

TresSugar — Tue, 12 May 2009 14:00:00 PDT

What does America think of Michelle Obama's naked, oh-so-toned arms? Well, according to one poll, 49 percent don't really care one way or another, but you wouldn't know that from the obsessive media coverage about her lack of arm coverage. If we all try to have arms as toned as hers, will we eventually try to do everything Michelle does? Like going to Princeton, then Harvard, be Barack's boss, work as an executive at hospitals affiliated with the University of Chicago hospitals, and then support local sustainable food initiatives with a garden? Damn. I'm finding it hard just picturing myself working out enough to get those arms. . .

Sarah Haskins: Carl's Jr. Serves Up Douche-Burgers

GiggleSugar — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 12:41:16 PDT

I guess I haven't been paying enough attention to Carl's Jr.'s TV ads - I'm not exactly the target market. Although I knew they were occasionally offensive, I had no idea the fast-food chain had basically stopped selling hamburgers in favor of teaching douchebag lessons to millions of unsuspecting young men. Padma, get out while you can! Thank goodness we have Sarah Haskins to sort it all out.
