Look. I don’t really object to fur in a sincere way. I think it looks fantastic. But I still don’t feel quite entirely right about wearing it.
However, when I mention this, a lot of people say “but you eat meat!” I do. I eat a whole ton of meat, pretty un-apologetically. I can debate the best steakhouse in Manhattan with you for a surprisingly long length of time. And yet… More
Do you know about argan oil? It’s an ancient beauty “secret” from Morocco that’s starting to gain popularity in the US, and a bunch of my friends tell me it is the best thing ever. More
For a long, long time, people have been asking themselves just how French women do things the way they do. “How do they stay so thin?” and “how does she still look so young?” are two of the most common examples, but it’s not exactly a field of study that’s had a whole lot of experimentation done. However, a new survey reveals that French women are perceived to age slower than British women — at least, that’s how the latter feels. More
Upon visiting a dermatologist in New York to curb post-college breakouts, we were surprised when she suggested refined carbohydrates were causing (at least some of) the problems. After speaking with a few skin experts, we found they all didn’t necessarily agree on everything, but they did agree on this: less processed foods, more whole ones. Like spinach. And blueberries. And fatty fish. And avocado. Ahead, 10 good foods for good skin. More
Yesterday we learned of the guilty verdict for Trent Mays, 17, and Ma’lik Richmond, 16, the Steubenville gang rapists who dragged an unconscious 16-year-old girl to multiple parties over several hours. CNN broke the story, with newscaster Candy Crowley beginning, ”A breaking story we’re following… two star high school football players in Steubenville, Ohio have been found guilty of raping a West Virginia teenager.” After Crowley’s introduction, it’s a freefall into outrageous compassion for these two boys, these good students, these star athletes, whose lives have been ruined by an “alcohol-fueled” night of indiscretion (as opposed to their decision to rape someone).

When it comes to talking fashion, you can bet that our beloved office manager Mari Correa gets straight to the bottom of things. Or, in this case the top, since this week’s Upfront With Mari is all about the most supportive (and most annoying) garments in the industry: bras. More
Most of the time, Playboy strikes me as the kind of magazine that doesn’t really care to include much about women’s issues. Sure, they’ll discuss the woman on the cover’s legs or her last relationship, but whenever I’ve picked up a copy to read on the plane, I’ve rarely been excited by the questions they ask a female. Fortunately, the Lena Dunham interview for their April issue is mostly fantastic. More
That up there is, allegedly, Zooey Deschanel on the April cover of InStyle. As you can see, she doesn’t much resemble Zooey Deschanel. Maybe some kind of Courtney Cox/Jessica Biel/Zooey Deschanel hybrid, but not really any one of them. More
Everybody knows that one of the most frustrating parts of long distance relationships is the lack of sex. Yes, you can have fun with Skype or phone sex, but without the ability to touch, feel, kiss and bang-to-infinity your partner, things can get dull. For lack of a better word, long distance sex is straight up boring. But that may all change with a product called LovePalz. More

Ladies! Sleeping with a light on could be making you fat! Worse still, sleeping in non-enveloping cocoon-like darkness could be… making you fat! Do we have a final tally of what makes you fat? Though we were astonished to discover that The Daily Mail doesn’t keep a master list of everything currently ruining women’s bodies, we figured we could just make one ourselves. More
I feel like every time I pick up the Daily Mail I read about a woman who is losing weight by pole dancing. Every time. It appears all they have to do is go in and they are losing weight and swinging their bodies around the pole like a spider monkey. I thought maybe it would be fun to write my own article about things that happened when I tried a pole dancing class at my gym More
Back in college, I remember listening to two guys debate whether or not the “thigh gap” was sexy. One guy thought it showed that women were in great shape and — in his words — “took care of themselves.” The other argued that this space between the upper legs was “gross” and made a woman look unhealthily thin. It was a stupid debate because a couple inches between a woman’s thighs does not indicate how healthy or unhealthy she is. She could have it and run marathons. She could also not have it, and also run marathons. And yet, there may be a growing obsession with the appearance of thigh gap with more of the public trying to attain it. More
