Like Red Nailpolish? You’d Make A Horrible Wife

Catherine StrawnMay 14, 2008 //

In the 1930s, Dr. George W. Crane, who ran a counseling practice and started his own matchmaking service, designed a test to give couples feedback on their marriages. Either the husband or the wife took the test, which rates the wife in various areas. Crane attempted to make the test scientific, but he did admit to using a personal bias and weighted the items he thought were more important in marriage. For example, a wife’s use of slang or profanity results in a five-point deduction from her score, and wearing red nail polish is a minus one. Amelia’s score was -3 and mine was -6. What can I say? I don’t dress for breakfast, and I’m lazy about sewing on buttons. Keep reading to calculate your score. [Monitor On Psychology] Keep reading »

Mannequins Of All (Boob) Sizes

Catherine StrawnMay 14, 2008 //

Last night, I was walking home and noticed these mannequins in a store window. At first, I was outraged. What man thought it would be awesome to buy a mannequin with ginormous breasts? And then something else occurred to me: Now large-chested woman know they can fit into the store’s clothes! Well, as long as they have a 17-inch waist and sticks for legs. Keep reading »

Catherine StrawnMay 14, 2008 //
  • A man and a woman have been accused to training the woman’s child to be a dominatrix, selling her sexual services, and photographing some of the acts. The child, who is now 20, was 12 years old when this started. [CBS News]
  • It costs more to send a friend one megabyte of data via text than it costs to transmit the same amount of data from the Hubble space telescope to Earth. [AHN]
  • I think this happens at least once a month, somewhere in the world. A woman woke up and discovered that the naked man who had slipped into her bed in the middle of the night was a thief, not her husband. [Reuters]

    Quick Pic: A Shrinking Top Model

    Amelia McDonell-ParryMay 14, 2008 //

    That’s Whitney from America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 — she’s the plus-size model in the final three in tonight’s season finale. I have no idea if this is Whitney before she was on the show or if it’s a recent picture, but girlfriend is significantly skinnier. I hope this is a picture from awhile ago and Whitney has since embraced her more natural, fuller figure. If this is recent and she’s lost as much as 20 pounds? Boo! Stupid diet industry… [Oh No They Didn't!] Keep reading »

    A Secret Rendez-Vous Gone Wrong

    Catherine StrawnMay 13, 2008 //

    An 18-year-old boy in Texas thought he was being all stealth, sneaking into his girlfriend’s house for a surprise hook-up. Instead, he got two black eyes from her father, who thought he was a burglar, and was charged with burglary and assault. The funny part is that his girlfriend (who is 15, by the way) wasn’t even there — she was sleeping over at a friend’s house. Ha. [AHN] Keep reading »

    Amelia McDonell-ParryMay 13, 2008 //

    We here at The Frisky are really into music and reading. Sometimes ours tastes are, um, awesome and we want to share them with you.

But after the jump, Emily, Simcha, Catherine, and myself share the cool stuff we’re into this month. Keep reading »

    He Says/She Says: Rihanna’s “Take A Bow”

    Catherine StrawnMay 13, 2008 //

    Rihanna’s new single “Take A Bow” is not a song you’re going to be dancing to — unless you’re in seventh grade and find yourself swaying back and forth awkwardly with a scrawny tween boy. But Rihanna is so lovable and lovely that Nathan and I couldn’t resist watching the song’s video together. We agree that she’s fierce but want different things from her. Me? Well, I want to be her.

    Nathan: Why is she looking at her nails?
    Catherine: Her nails are too long. Like old lady nails. Keep reading »

    Sweet Release: What’s In And Out The Week Of May 13th 2008

    SimchaMay 13, 2008 //
  • While Amy Winehouse has been cracking up, losing the deal to do the Bond theme song with the dapper Mark Ronson, and covering herself in mud instead of clothing, Welsh singer Duffy has been slaving away on the most sublime new soul album. Rockferry, Duffy’s debut record that takes its name from the town her daddy was born in, is a swanky collection of ’60s style R&B songs. Her first single, Mercy, is hip-shaking a-go-go at it’s greatest and it even gets hipsters to strut. We here at The Frisky are totally mad about this Mod! [Amazon: Duffy, Rockferry]
