How To Be A Sex Piranha

by Leah Dunkley | 01.26.2012 |
Being sexy isn’t all about looking like Kathleen Turner before she was a man, you know. Nope, true ‘sexiness’ is something indefinable, like the way we should feel about Disney starlets who grew epic racks but are still 17 and contracted to 2 more ‘talking inanimate object’ buddy movies or the mouthfeel of soysages. Sexy is an ‘X-factor’ that you either have or you don’t, regardless of your hotness (and by that we obviously mean as long as you’re a 7 or higher). So for those of you who suffer from acute unsexiness – GOODISH NEWS! I am going to teach you how to fool people into wanting you inexplicably! Here are 5 sure-fire tips to bring out your inner Tori Spelling.

Stock Art Comix: Series 1

by Alyssa Kramer | 01.26.2012 |
There is something so awful about stock photography – it’s generic, fake, and just downright depressing. But something interesting happens when you apply your own twisted imagination to these hollow scenes: the characters – hitherto nothing but dolls with flesh – take on lives on their own. The Stock Art Comix series breathes life back into dead art.

5 Ways to Have Your Mother Pay For Your Internet Dating Subscription

by Erica Meneses | 01.25.2012 |
Maybe it’s time to get off of your couch and get out there in the dating scene. It can’t hurt, right? In fact, it’ll probably help you lose the thirty pounds you put on since you got divorced and started working from home. Don’t you worry, though. We won’t get crazy. I know the idea of having to talk to every person you find moderately attractive is so tiring that you probably just moved from your office chair to your bed in defeat. Baby steps, my friend. Let’s start with internet dating, the least daunting realm of single life.

Dear 18 (and a quarter) Year-Old Me

by Kendra Alvey | 01.25.2012 |
Yay! It’s Senior Prom time! You’ve told everyone who will listen for years that you hate school dances, that you hate anything even remotely related to school spirit. You’ve never even been to a football game. But, let’s get real. You’ve seen Pretty In Pink one too many times not to go at all. So, just admit that you’re going and suck it up.

How To Deal With A Crazy Roommate

by Michael Gursky | 01.25.2012 |
We all will face the hard times of living with a crazy roommate at some point in our lives. Maybe it’s somebody who gets on your nerves, or somebody who has ridiculous habits. It might even be somebody loud, who speaks in a Mickey Mouse voice constantly and screams at every single game on television, no matter the sport. Oddly enough, I live with somebody exactly like that.

How to Order Coffee Like A Normal Human at Starbucks

by Julia Davidovich | 01.24.2012 |
Between home and work there is one coffee chain Country Style that is notorious for having the second worst coffee in Toronto. Like my cave dwelling ancestors I have adapted to my surroundings and every morning I stop at the Country Style located at the intersection of my very last bus transfer of the commute (of three buses and a subway) ten minutes away from my office.

You know those times when you have work to do but you're in so much distress from the news that Butter Queen Paula Deen has type 2 diabetes and so you watch Mona Lisa Smile to cheer you up and you sit on the couch all day and stuff bar after bar of butter down your mouth and then your work doesn't get done? Well, you're never going to believe it but this totally happened to me! Okay, maybe I just look for any excuse to watch Mona Lisa Smile.

What To Expect When You Date An Aquarius

by LoveSmacked and Starstruck | 01.23.2012 |
GOOD THINGS: always entertaining combined with a dose of unpredictable, you will be kept amused and on your toes; your cup of witty banter runneth over…daily; they will get you involved in humanitarian/social rights and causes, thereby making you a better person by association; they won’t require you to talk about anything as uncomfortable as 'emotions”

How to Start Your Own Cupcake Business (But Actually Sell Meth)

by Julia Davidovich | 01.18.2012 |
For what seems like the last three hundred years, people have been obsessed with cupcakes. There are at least a billion TV shows dedicated to baked goods: one narrated by that pompous bakery asshole, Cupcake Wars (which sounds really violent but it’s usually a bunch of women in cat sweaters) and Cupcake Girls – which I always found to be the most original.
