Happy Friday, again! I’ve been off from the studio this week, and you know what that means!!! A lot of grocery shopping and laundry, haha! I touched-up my hair on Monday, and on Tuesday I spent the day with some friends from like….middle school? A loooong time ago. Therapy on Wednesday and I laundered ALL…

Time To Feed The Gendered Language Around Periods To The Sharks
Aunt Flo. Lady Time. Crimson Tide. That last one is a football team, but the other two are euphemisms for PERIODS! Menstruation! And this week, a lot of blood was shed over the way we talk about periods. Help us evolve language around gender and menstrual health. — Clue (@clue) July 11,…

Cover It Up

by
Hey, editors of various noteworthy publications: I have a request. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop putting that guy on your cover. You know the one I mean. He already thinks the world revolves around him — — please stop giving him the impression that he does. You know how, when a child throws a tantrum, you’re…

All The Makeup You Need To Survive Burning Man
—
by
Okay, Let’s Be Honest: makeup really isn’t necessary at Burning Man. I just… I really like it! The best part of my morning (besides my super-regular 6:45am morning poop #humblebrag) is deciding what makeup to wear that day. What colors, what theme, what “look” I’m going to go for. Why should I have to forego that fun,…

SECRETS REVEALED! Why Living In NYC Is *Actually* The Best, For Real

Pommes Frites will let you taste their sauces before you buy. I’m telling you, their Curry Ketchup is phenomenal! But you don’t have to believe me, just ask them to taste a sample! We have Central Park. And you don’t. Nothing is embarrassing here. Everybody lives stacked on top of top of each other,…

Angry Birds
—
by
And at first it was cute, but now, I’m afraid in my own home. So I might have mentioned on social media (Twitter, probably, appropriately enough) that a family of small birds has built a nest underneath my kitchen window. I was so excited to have “new neighbors” and I love nature! Right? …

Good News! YOU Think You’re Helping

by
Wow it’s FRIDAY AGAIN?!? I really can’t believe it! Maybe the “holiday” messed me up into thinking it couldn’t possibly be Friday already. I put “holiday” in quotes because I’ve been working every single day since last you heard from me, except for the Fourth, which I spent having a raging stomachache and running errands (which…

No Pictures, Please
—
by
It happened after therapy. It happened with my friend. It happened during one of my tours. And it almost happened while running a work errand, but I put my hand up and said “No.” When I was a kid, somebody told me that “ancient cultures” believed that taking someone’s photograph would “steal their…

Can Men Wear Clothes?
—
by
It started with the romper. Sorry, romphim. Men, are you ok? Alright, I hate to say it, but #NotAllMen lost their minds when the romphim, which is a romper for men (?), started making headlines early this spring. Masculinity so fragile that you can wear a shirt, and you can wear shorts, but…

Catcalls in 2017

by
I’m not going to bore you by explaining what you already know: summer = catcalls, catcalls = the worst. But it’s twenty seventeen! We can’t just ignore this anymore! We gotta fight back! Don’t worry, I already thought this through. The next time someone hits you with one of these classic catcalls, hit ’em back with…

‘Morning! Yer looking at the mysterious side-toe bruise that appeared last week and still hasn’t fully dissipated. I have no idea how to even GET a bruise in this spot. Please don’t tell me that side-toe-bruises are an ominous sign of like, a deadly disease or something. This week has been a blur…

MoMA Alone
—
by
So I’ve long been a proponent of “dating yourself.” Like, you know, taking yourself out on dates to reinvest in your relationship with yourself? Okay, that sounds a bit bizarre and selfish and self-indulgent. Why not go with somebody else? Why do it alone? Well…. Aren’t you worth it? Why don’t you deserve to enjoy a solo lunch, or movie,…

Paradise Lost

You know I’m #TeamCorn. Corinne Olympios was the “villain” of Nick’s season of The Bachelor. Although, in my opinion, NICK was the villain of Nick’s season of The Bachelor, but, you know, bygones. Just had a near death experience in the paper goods isle at target. It was very dramatic — Corinne olympios (@CorinneOly) May 5, 2017 I…

Don’t Get Pissed, But Your “Fearless Girl” Is Bullshit
I know I know, you’re already angry at my title — but what is being “fearless” if not standing up for what’s right, even if it’s unpopular? I love you all, I love Intersectional Feminism, and that is why I cannot stand by Fearless Girl. I know you’re still upset, so I’m gonna…

So this week was very sad. I feel like a human blister: full of tears and ready to erupt at any moment. Trying to hold shit together is really really hard, but it’s a little easier every day. Let’s be honest, pretty much all of my energy this week has been sapped just trying…

Forget the “Bikini Body!” Bikini bodies are cancelled. Who worries about their bikini body anymore? Nobody! Not cool! Passé! Summer 2017 is all about the Big Floppy Hat Body. Yes, the “Big Floppy Hat Body!” Big Floppy Hat > Bikinis. Obviously. Why? I will tell you. Do you have a “bad hair…

All dogs go to Heaven, don’t they? If that’s true, maybe there’s a special section for Bad Dogs. Do you know what Bad Dog Heaven is like? Bad Dog Heaven is made of laps. LAPS. Laps to jump on! Laps to curl up in! Laps to stand on while swatting…
