“In another time or place, the game of “What Are You?” that was played one night last fall at the University of Maryland might have been mean, or menacing: Laura Wood’s peers were picking apart her every feature in an effort to guess her race.” -Susan Saulny

3 Articles I Am Sick of Reading - by Erin... →
“Why would any writer or editor think that one of these delicious desserts must be chosen over the other? And why, would this article need to be written more than once? No one says “beef is the new chicken” or “lemonade is the new beer”.” - Erin Goldberger

5 Real Hangover Cures - by Ryan O' Connell for... →
“In order to feel better, you need to go to a big carb-filled brunch with Kirstie Alley. She’ll take over your appetite for two shocking hours and there is NOTHING you can do about it. Now what does Kirstie typically want for brunch? French toast, biscuits, a stack of pancakes, a Costco-size container of syrup and deep-fried Oreos for dessert.” - Ryan O’ Connell

WatchDay & Night: Fashion plate and pop-diva Rihanna is at it again in David Guetta’s latest music video for their collaborative single Who’s That Chick. Actually, forget one music video.

WatchCoutorture: You hear it all the time: Modeling isn’t so glamorous, blah, blah, blah. Imagine being squeezed into suffocating couture gowns which cut off your circulation or balancing on teetering heels as if you’re walking a tight rope. This doesn’t seem fun me. But, at least I know I would look fierce in the process, right?

How to be Drunk - by Ryan O' Connell for Thought... →
“Imagine this friend three hours from now when they’ll be puking all over their nice birthday outfit. They won’t even have had their cake yet and all of their friends will be FREAKING. OUT. Someone who’s only medium-drunk will have to take them home and leave them on their bed half-naked with Doritos in their hair.” - Ryan O’ Connell

The Kinds of People You Can Date - by Ryan O'... →
“You can date someone in the summertime when it’s too hot to have rules. This person might not make sense in February when you’re wearing thick coats and eating too much, but they’ll fit in nicely at a Fourth of July barbecue or a pool party. Your bodies will stick together in the heat and sometimes having sex will be the grossest activity you can think of, but you’ll do it anyway.”...

Fat And Black In Hollywood - by Rawiya Kameir for... →
“But why is Hollywood more accepting of fat black women than of fat white women? My guess is it has more to do with social politics than with the entertainment industry: Black women are invisible in America. Despite the fact that women like Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey are among the most public of public figures, black women make up America’s most invisible group”. - Rawiya...

“When you run into an old friend and end the conversation with “Let’s do lunch!”, you really meant to say, “Stay the fuck away from me. I’ll be screening my phone calls because you give me anxiety.” For some reason, people are incapable of ending an unfavorable interaction with, “Nice seeing you. Bye.” - Ryan O’ Connell
