And over at Planned Parenthood, Spiderman-approved safe sex tips! From the only known Spiderman-Planned Parenthood collaboration that includes a plot by a diabolical alien to give kids the WRONG information about sex, so they HAVE lots of babies and can fuel his child labor army!
Would be funnier if the things the alien says don’t so closely mirror some of the sex ed programs taught today….

I got my reviews for “A Serious Man” and “Zombieland” mixed up, and somehow thought that I’d bought tickets tonight to see a hilarious-yet-poignant film with Woody Harlson about a Jewish man in the 1960’s midwest who battles with both anti-semitism and a world full of zombies (A Serious Zombieland?).
Wouldn’t that be kind of awesome though? I love my horror flicks to have a deeper meaning.

I want

Fall, and working in Soho, means I come into contact with lots of beautiful clothes I could never afford. Bear with me as I post them online here instead of buying them. Reading this is like a good deed: you’re helping me avoid building up more credit card debt.

Yeah, it’s American Apparel. But it’s cute. What?

I love this dress. A lot.

I actually tried this dress on in the store. And. Well, let’s just say it’s super cute, but made for women with the chest of at most a 14 year old. Unless the popping button look is coming back or something.

I’m kinda into these pants. In a very 1940’s Inglourious Basterds Shoshana kind of way.

<3 Flannel.

And this would be cute too. Maybe with Navy shorts?

Kinda mad men esqe, in a gender bending sort of way.

To belt that flat-chested dress up there. Duh.

Fuck them for charging $375 for a scarf. And fuck me for wanting it.

cute.

I’d wear that.

And these.

with these.

Cause I’m always late.

Shuttup, I like them.

I almost bought this after fasting all day on Rosh Hashana. I swear, it actually looked good.

Let&#8217;s make a bunch of valentines day cards with pictures like this on the front and then inside we can write &#8220;like that, only from me to you.&#8221;
Because I dunno about you, but I would want to get those cards.

“Zombies aren’t trying to bone you or rescue you or captivate your soul with their pulsating manly man-ness and spackled hair. They don’t give a rat’s ass about overblown social metaphors or moral relativism or charming your undies off at least once an episode. They just want to eat you.”

— Totally the best movie review I’ve read in a while. I’m seeing this tonight.

“Soon after, Gwen’s father left them and they became homeless the fall before the start of the book’s events. Initially, Gwen’s mother has them live in their car until the winter comes; she then takes them to Sunrise House, a place for homeless women and children.”

Meet Gwen Thompson, the new homeless doll from American Girl.

Irony of, as my friend Colin points out, paying $134 for a designer homeless doll aside, doesn’t this just have parental guilt-trip-gift written all over it? Like “look honey, this doll’s daddy left her. Do you see what happens when little girls don’t finish their peas?”

Best "yo mama" comeback ever.

[US Senator John] Kyl: “I don’t need maternity care” in my benefits package.

[US Senator Debbie] Stabenow fires back: “I think your mom probably did.”

For reals.

Infestuous Basterds

You know that time you called me paranoid for refusing to sit on those wooden benches in the subway? Well you’d better take it back.

Or I guess he could have just had a foot fetish.

(background: i live in the extremely hassidic Lubovitz part of Williamsburg)

I was walking to the train this morning when a man walked by and whistled at me. Oridnarily, ok, this really isn’t weird. But. There were two things kinda off about the interaction.

One: Today I’m wearing a loose, below the knee skirt, button down shirt, and flats. Not exactly heart-stopping material. And

Two: Well, this is going to sound weird, but, he stared at my feet/ankles while doing it.

Confused, I looked around a bit, trying to figure this out. And then I saw them.

Everywhere there were hassidic women. Mothers, taking their children out to wait for the schoolbus. Young women going to work in the city. Older women walking to get groceries with their friend. And all of them, without exception, wearing my same black, below the knee skirt, button down shirt, and flats.

I looked down at my own outfit, and noticed how my top-button unbuttoned shirt showed just a hint of collarbone. My nappy, wet hair was flowing freely, without restriction of hat OR wig. My unstockinged legs were bare, proudly showing off my white, fleshy and oh-so-slightly stubbled calves and, yes, even ankles. And it hit me.

I was totally dressed like a slutty Hassidic woman.

Is it just me..

Or is The Awl using Richard Wright’s biography in a none-too-subtle call for unpaid submissions? I mean, I guess at least they’re being literary about it?

Am I the only one..

..who thinks it would be funny to say

“Because Michael Bloomberg is an easy man to stand behind”

when endorsing him? Maybe?*

*yes, because he’s SHORT. People, come on.
