Carrying Connecticut
On September 25, 2009 at 7:35 am
by Haley Heat, Femme45.com The first half of 2009 showed a 90% increase in issued Connecticut pistol permits from the same period in 2008. Furthermore, many of those issued were to women. According to journalinquirer.com, the reasons for this surge vary. Some state it’s because of high profile crimes and some say it’s due to [...]
Project Runway 6/6
On at 7:34 amThe sixth episode of Project Runway Season 6 brought us the season’s first field trip, and I was more excited than a first grader on a crowded bus headed for the zoo! The designers met mentor Tim Gunn at a Hollywood sound stage to receive their challenge: designing a garment for a character in a [...]
“GAMER” (Film Review) (TRAILER)
On at 7:28 am
* * (out of 4) Rating: R (strong language, sexual references, some drug use) Director: Mark Neveldine The team behind the “Crank” series brings us a mindless exercise in frustration. Ok – noise and frustration. If you are a fan of Action/Thrillers, the filmmaking team of Nevedine/Taylor should raise your expectations, but they crank up [...]
When Pigs Fly
On September 24, 2009 at 11:49 pm
Get your flu shot. All three of them! Wear a surgical mask when in a crowd. Run the other direction when you see someone hacking up gobs of sputum. And for God’s sake, don’t cough or sneeze without burying your face in your sleeve lest Kathleen Sebilius cudgel you with the Administration’s preferred method of [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 2: All About Survival
On at 11:13 pm
Fresh off the one-man demolition team sent to blow Abe Wagner’s orbital area into bits, we’re now being treated to the second episode of the Evans-Jackson blowout. As it opens, Kimbo, doing his best Lauren Caitlin Upton impersonation, reminds us all of his lust for victory. Roy Nelson, the fighter who first made his mark [...]
Celebrities Pitch for Health Care. This is What They Will Say!
On at 8:52 am
Rock the Vote, which has been called a communist organization by such influential members of the media as Fingers Malloy, has enlisted celebrities such as Perez Hilton and Zach Braff to make propaganda videos in favor of government run health care. Socialized medicine can be a sexy bitch to many 20 something’s, and Rock the [...]
Get Arrested
On at 8:45 am
If you are livid about the cancellation of Arrested Development, join the angry mob. The unjust cancellation of the Bluth Family’s shenanigans has fans (including myself) crying foul. Carlos Mencia manages to stay on television for more than one episode, yet the most brilliant comedy series ever written is ended after three seasons—further proof that [...]
The Ladies Room: Gluten Free, Acne Free?
On at 8:30 am
Going gluten-free in your diet might not be as snobby as it seems. I recently had a friend try this lifestyle out and it has worked where so-called “proven acne treatments” have failed. Acne is probably the only nightmare of puberty that manages to linger longer than the soul-crushing social awkwardness. Personally, if standing on [...]
Chrome Nails!
On at 8:12 am
As long as I can remember women have always viewed their fingernails as an accessory. From complex colorful designs to classic french tip manicures, nails have played a crucial and critical part in a woman’s completed look. While for many years other than shape, design and color, manicured nails were an overlooked staple that were considered a given. They commanded about as [...]
Film Editor’s Film Of The Week
On at 2:41 am
My pick for this week is Rian Johnson’s Brick. This is an excellent noir style detective film strategically placed in a high school about a boy’s search for his ex-girlfriend’s murderer. While investigating he finds out more than he wants to! It is full of mystery, murder, suspense, femme fatales, and fast, witty dialogue. It [...]
First King, Then Mayor?
On September 23, 2009 at 9:26 am
Sure, Linda McMahon got all the press for throwing her hat in the ring (pun intended) against Chris Dodd, but wrestling legend Jerry “The King” Lawler’s candidacy for Mayor of Memphis, Tennessee, almost snuck by unnoticed. Jerry actually began his campaign several weeks before Linda. Mayor of Memphis just isn’t quite as exciting as the [...]
House – Season 6 Premiere
On at 9:09 am
I count myself among the fans of acerbic and superintelligent Doctor Gregory House; which explains why I ended up in front of the TV for the two hour premiere of Season 6. Let’s kick things off at the fictitious Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital, with a montage reminiscent of eight-millimeter home movies, showing House’s emotional decline. Turns out [...]

Vampires Take a Huge Bite of the Mainstream
On September 22, 2009 at 9:19 am
When I was a kid, there was only ONE vampire – Dracula. You knew he was a bad guy. I mean, come on – just look at him! Bela Lugosi’s portrayal in the 1931 classic film put a face on the vampire for the next 60 years. Though vampires have been with us for centuries, [...]
The Night They Raided Alinsky’s
On at 8:59 am
In the end he [the organizer] has one conviction–a belief that if people have the power to act, in the long run they will, most of the time, reach the right decisions. The alternative to this would be rule by the elite–either a dictatorship or some form of a political aristocracy. Believing in people, the [...]
The Ladies Room: Secret Sexy
On at 8:45 am
In college, my roommate said something that’s stuck with me. We were talking about lacy thong underwear and she referred to it as “the secret sexy.” She meant that it’s something you wear that no one else knows about. Underneath a plain pair of sweatpants or a boring suit, you are a sassy minx. Here’s [...]
