Meet Velvetpark Mate, A New Lesbian Dating Website

Velvetpark Media

I’m not a lesbian (unfortunately, and believe me, I’ve tried). But, I do have lots of lezzie friends who have complained about the lack of gay online dating options. Now, Velvetpark Media has launched a lesbian dating website called Velvetpark Mate, which is the first of its kind. Writes site editor Grace Moon: “I say the first lesbo dating site of its kind because we are NOT an affiliate program, or an ‘out of the box’ 3rd party package with a lesbian label slapped on it, NOR are we an afterthought of a male dominated media company, or the unwanted stepchild of a straight date site.”

Quotable: Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch Explain Men Who’ve Got “Gray Balls”

Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch

Amy Poehler: Can I ask you how you feel about this term “cougar”? I hate that f***ing word.

Rachel Dratch: Me, too! Since the dawn of moving-making, there have been so many scenarios where an older guy is with a younger woman and we don’t bat an eye. But if it’s reversed and a 40-year-old woman is with a 35-year-old guy, she’s called a “cougar.”

Poehler: I know ... there are there these derogatory boxes that people have invented that they have to put themselves in. And why isn’t there a word for the inappropriate older guy with the younger girl? What is the exact word for that?

Dratch: I don’t know ... Gray Balls?

Poehler: Old Gray Balls! Oh he’s a real Gray Balls! (laugh) Maybe we should make it Clark Gray-Balls. There is just something about a 20-year-old calling someone a cougar that makes me want to punch them in the mouth.

—“Saturday Night Live” alums Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch aren’t fond of the word “cougar,” apparently [Bust]

J.Lo’s Louboutins Betray Her!

On last night’s American Music Awards, Jennifer Lopez performed her new single “Louboutins” and despite writing an entire song about them, her high-priced footwear did not offer their support. J.Lo fell on her ass big time, but only East Coast viewers got to glimpse this hilarity during the telecast. The fall was edited out of the West Coast airing. Thank god for YouTube, amiright?

Now You Can Afford Zac Posen! Maybe…

Z Spoke

Zac Posen knows how to please the masses. For those who just can’t afford his normal line, the designer has decided to launch a lower priced collection, and no, it’s not with Target. Instead, he’s created Z Spoke, a collection of 60 pieces, which will be sold only at Saks Fifth Avenue starting this spring. Ready for the prices? Items start at $78. “I think it’s going to surprise people,” said Zac. “This is about a new identity.” It’s not all cheap though. Dresses can go for upwards of $600 dollars, but when you compare that to his regular line, well, it is cheaper. So what can we expect to see in stores? According to Zac, it’s a minimalist and utilitarian look, full of knits, cotton shirting, blazers and pleated khaki shorts that was inspired by downtown chic looks, like those of Lower East Side girls. [Wait, like me and Erin?—Editor] While these are no Target prices, it does open the Posen brand to a whole new audience. We’ll keep you posted… [WWD]

Aerie Check Flannel Nightie, $34.50, American Eagle

Typically, you’ll find us Sleeping Beauties dreaming away in our beds wearing tank tops and pajama pants. This wasn’t always the case. When we were little, our mom dressed us in flannel “nighties” when winter came. But then we became moody pre-teens and wouldn’t dare wear nightgowns anymore—they were sooo not cool. Now we think they’re cute again, especially the flirty shorter versions that look like button-down shirts stolen from a boy’s closet. Click through for eight cozy flannel and thermal nightshirts.

4 Tips For A Holiday Fling

Holiday Kiss

The holidays are right around the corner, and if egg nog, stuffing and Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” do mysterious things to your libido—fear not. We suffer from the Holiday Friskies, too. We feel your sexually frustrated pain. Whether your parents’ guest bedroom has you aching for another’s or a holiday getaway is in order, there’s nothing like a few guilt-free days off to initiate a bold try with what’s-his-name from high school or that-one-over-there at the resort bar (if you’re fancy). Regardless, the holidays are a perfect time for a no-strings-attached fling. Here are a few ways to make it run exceptionally smooth.

DIY: 5-Minute Hooded Cotton Vest

We’ve been on a bit of a vest kick lately, so this week’s DIY is (literally) a five-minute hooded vest made from stretch cotton (T-shirt material). The whole thing is so easy that I’m freaking out (really, see above). Beyond that, it’s cheap as hell, requires no sewing and looks kind of grim-reaper cool when you move around and it swishes.

Love Vandal: Hope In New Orleans

love graffiti

Reader Sarah snapped this photo on a recent trip to Louisiana. “I saw this on one many (still) abandoned houses on a recent trip to New Orleans,” she wrote us. “It’s a bit hard to make out, but it reads, “Even the wounded heart can soar.” The orange line is part of a mark left by the search and rescue team that entered the house following Hurricane Katrina.

Have you seen graffiti that’s kind of sweet (even if it is against the law)? Send your pic to tips@thefrisky.com.
