This year I don’t have a resolution. I have a non-resolution. My New Year’s Resolution is to not have a resolution to lose weight, diet, or drop a pant size. I see it every year — women vowing to lose belly fat, to stop eating chocolate, to detox diet. And companies notice it, too, and they ...

Ladies, stop worrying about what your jiggly bits look like during sex and just relax and enjoy the fun. Chances are your partner doesn’t notice the imperfections that you do and is just happy to have a naked horny woman in bed with them. Doing this will allow you to relax more and even have ...

Photoshopping is dangerous. Not only does it show us a false view of reality, it has led to eating disorders in men, women and children. It causes people to compare their bodies to something that doesn’t exist. Fortunately, there may soon be a tool that shows us just how fake photoshopped pictures are. This tool would tell ...

I enjoy shopping online for clothes because I can find saucy pieces that are normally unattainable from within my petite, redneck community, like the mid-century, blue velvet cocktail dress I bought off eBay that I will never actually wear but I will loyally store in my closet until I die. Shopping online can be a ...

It was almost two years ago when my co-worker, Laura and I were breaking out. We were not breaking out of prison, or the underground club scene, nor were we breaking out like MC Hammer doing the running man in front of a harem of spandex-clad dancers. We were breaking out in acne, presumably a ...

Barbie is finally being allowed to show her true colours, donning a punk rocker look complete with tattoos, leopard leggings, pink hair, and an adorable little pug with a little spiky green suit. But, naturally, anything that could potentially steer little girls down “the wrong path” has Mrs. Cleaver-esque parents freaking out. Completely dismissing the ...

Dear Madame X, Last year I took a long hard look in the mirror and realized that I didn’t like what I saw. I’ve had a vampy revamp, including new hair, new clothes and yes, new breasts. I finally feel like the me on the outside fits the me on the inside. So what’s my ...

No one will sleep with me if I’m fat. I’m sure that’s correct, because I’ve rarely seen a fat person engaged in an act of passion on a dating website advertisement. Or anywhere. Ah, but it isn’t true. According to expert advice, confidence counts for much more than perfection. In a clear reminder that men ...

Sarah Michelle Gellar has angered those suffering from serious mental illnesses by offhandedly suggesting she has Body Dysmorphic Disorder. “I totally have body dysmorphic disorder,” she said during an interview with Health Magazine. Gellar performed the self-diagnosis while admitting she had body-image issues and isn’t always happy about what she sees in the mirror. Body ...

As fashion week is upon us, it is easy to revel in the beauty of the fabrics, shoes, and hair pieces. But with fashion week also comes the fun of watching the impossibly thin models strutting down the runway. It all seems so desirable when looking in from the outside. But as new reports reveal, ...
