Cyberspace and the Single (Conservative) Girl, Part Two
by: DariaDiGiovanni
As I discussed in Part One, while it’s easy to blame the internet for the plethora of dishonest players, the truth is, it is simply another vehicle through which to play the serial dating game. In the 21st Century, technology has provided an efficient method for both the upstanding and not-so-upstanding among us to either [...]

On December 17, 2009 at 10:27 am
The reaction to the EPA declaring carbon dioxide a health hazard has been swift and immediate.

A consistent and proper facial cleansing regime is required for healthy and vibrant skin. Long gone are the days of hard soap and hot water. Just drinking the recommended daily consumption of water is not enough either. To combat today’s hash environment, and UV damaging effects, a proper skin cleansing and moisturizing ritual is not only [...]
The Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes

Lucy in the Sky with diamonds has died from an infection stemming from her bout with Lupus.
Lucy began her legacy, unwittingly, when John Lennon’s son, Julian brought home a painting he had done in school in 1966. “That’s Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” he told his dad. The rest is history.
She only recently admitted [...]

Ok seriously, I’ll come out and say it: Miley Cyrus is turning into a ho.
Maybe that’s a little rough but have you seen her new video? If not, it’s below. The girl is 16 and she’s prancing around and shaking her hips like a stripper in training. Watching it, you easily forget that she’s 16 [...]

At the Schoenfeld Theatre, (NYC). Written by Keith Huff. Directed by John Crowley. 90mins. No intermission.
No disrespect to the playwright (Keith Huff), but when the play “A Steady Rain” opened on Broadway this week it was all about the two stars – Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman. Let’s face it… the script could have been [...]

Car lovers: Sympathize with me for a second. You know the feeling – Cruising down the interstate, not really noticing or caring how quickly you’re breezing by the rest of the traffic.
At least, until you see those lights in your rearview mirror.
As soon as you regain your composure, there’s always one fleeting thought that drifts [...]
Move Over, Charlie Brown
On at 8:45 am
Children are fickle and easily amused things. A dime and two fingers set apart an inch can grab a pair’s attention for hours; an Xbox, the assiduities of only one. Regardless of whether or not you have children of your own, memories of your youth are a witch’s brew of hyperactivity and laziness; hyperfocused attention [...]

According to the FBI, there was a 25% increase in background checks for gun sales during the first half of 2009 (from the same period in 2008). Hence, gun sales have risen over the past year. What is even more interesting is the amount of ammunition that has been sold — or the amount of [...]
Just When We Thought We Had It All Figured Out…

Have scientists disproved the “missing link?“
Well, sort of. They found a missing link, but not the one they had always thought they’d find. What they found was the oldest known human ancestor this past Thursday in Ethiopia. A 4.4-million-year-old skeleton named Ardi. This finding challenges many long-held assumptions about how humans and apes evolved.
Ardi is [...]
The Ladies Room: Put Your Best Face Forward
On at 8:54 am
On a search for random YouTube hilarity, I stumbled upon the videos of self-taught make-up artist Lauren Luke. She is officially one of my new favorite things.
She does a series of step-be-step make-up tutorials. However, she’s not your regular YouTube personality showing you things you already know, she takes her looks directly from music videos.

The Weak Case For Roman Polanski
On at 8:27 am
Roman Polanski raped a minor and he should be punished. Case closed, right? Apparently it’s not that easy. Thanks to an astounding number of people speaking out in his behalf. This has lead many of us to question what is going on that we may not be seeing.
It looks like half of the film industry [...]
