Why Rachel Maddow is bad for you, me, and liberal girls everywhere

Let me paint you a picture of my city. --- Main Street, Northampton. I'm assuming if you're reading this blog, you know the city. No? It's the liberal Mecca of the East Coast. Hampshire College and Smith College. Unshaven legs and crop tops. Ani DiFranco. Moccasins. There isn't one Romney bumper sticker here, but easily thousands of those goofy "coexist" ones. Also, lots of "no farms, no food," and "yes farms, yes food," but whatever. --- You'd be hard-pressed to find non-organic beef. And … [Read more...]

It ain’t easy for a playa’ – Single & the city edition #3

It's been over six months since my very public foray into online dating.---- As much as I'd like to report that it was a wildly successful endeavor, it seems that with online dating sites- as in life- you only get what you give, and waiting for your future boyfriend to message you while you put little to no effort in gets you basically nowhere. ---- That's not to say I didn't have any success. I actually hung out with one guy a couple times, but he stopped texting me when I didn't jump … [Read more...]

It ain’t easy for a playa’ – Single and the city edition #2

The last time the topic of online dating was brought up on this website, it ended in a Welch's-drinking pedophile and a lonely birthday cake. Because of this, I shelved the idea for a few months and decided I would let fate do all the work for me. Everybody knows you'll never find your man if you're out looking for him! And you certainly won't find him while you're home eating endless rolls of sushi, picking dry skin off the heels of your feet while you sing along to Les Miserables on … [Read more...]

I wanna sext you up.

I'm sure by now everybody has heard about the big Anthony Weiner sexting scandal. You know, the one where the New York democratic rep. sent sexy-time pics and messages to a plethora of young female fans over Twitter and Facebook? The messages, some of which included Weiner shirtless or with "bulging-underpants," were leaked earlier this month to a shocked and appalled country, and now the (married) politician is doing some serious damage control. Despite the fact that only a … [Read more...]

It ain’t easy for a playa’ – Single & the city edition #1

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only single gal I know. In my family, group of friends, and even at my place of business, it often seems that I'm the only Single White Female within the 5-mile radius. For the most part, I have no problem with this. I think singledom suits me. I travel a lot, try to stay career-focused, and happen to live in a city crawling with hot men. But sometimes it'd be nice to trade my nights out at fratty bars on the Upper East Side for a night in cuddling up on the … [Read more...]
