There’s a reason your mom put you in those itchy footsie pajamas when you were a child…warmth. Now that you’re an adult you can still have shoulder to toe warmth without having a major case of the itchies. In fact, you’ll be quite cozy in this union suit made from 100 percent soft cotton. And it has a rather convenient drop seat that can be monogrammed. We’ll wear ours while drinking warm apple cider and watching holiday movies. [from $59.95, Pajamagram] Keep reading »
Have you always wondered why Brad Pitt and George Clooney are consistently thought of as the biggest studs in Hollywood? New research from the University of Michigan relating to aggression, status, and sex might help explain. When social status or sex are on a man’s mind, it causes them to act aggressively so as to maintain his cred, according to assistant professor Vladas Griskevicius. But these too attack triggers are linked: “Across different cultures and time, the higher status men have, the more sex or better-quality partners they may have,” Griskevicius said. Keep reading »

There is no shortage of pornographic material available to the average adult. Anyone with a computer has access to a plethora of naughty and not so nice images. Whether we’ve wanted to or not, most of us — whether through an error in a Google Search or the “witty” antics of a friend — have seen the skin on a few men, or women, or (God forbid) animals contorted into positions that would make the Pilobolus Dance Troupe jealous. However, not everyone wants to look. The good news is: you don’t have to watch strangers’ sexual exploits for a stimulating time; you can read about them. Welcome to the world of erotic novels, a girl’s right-hand man (or woman) in the bedroom. Keep reading »
There seems to be a lot of infidelity lately — just look at some of the biggest celebrity breakup of 2008. But not all cheating leads to splits. In an article that ran in London’s Sunday Times, writer Kate Spice investigates why wives have stood by their men even as they’re sleeping with someone else. Some of the reasons for staying with an adulterous spouse were:
-For the kids’ sake.
-Because she doesn’t want to have sex (and letting her husband have a mistress is akin to hiring someone to clean the house).
-For the good of a family business.
-As long as he comes back, it isn’t doing any harm.
-Love.
Is there anything that would make you want to stay with a man who cheated on you? Tell us in the comments… Keep reading »
In case you live in a cave and have somehow avoided seeing images of Oprah recently, she’s put on some weight in the last couple of years: 40 pounds to be exact. In the January issue of O Magazine, out on newsstands today, Oprah opens up about her continued weight struggle in what’s become her signature way: like she’s confessing her sins — or at least her deepest vulnerabilities — to her closest confidante. “I’m embarrassed,” she writes. “I can’t believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I’m still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, `How did I let this happen again?”‘

There was one point during my wedding-planning process that I was afraid I was losing my mind and becoming what I feared and hated most — the bridezilla. Keep reading »
When I saw the photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at last night’s red carpet premiere of “The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button” I did a double take because the look Angie was rocking seemed veryfamiliar. Sure, there’s nothing particularly inventive about a black strapless gown and tightly pulled back hair (though she did look stunning), but it’s basically the exact same outfit she wore to the Golden Globes back in 2002 with then-hubby Billy Bob Thorton. Minus the pearls and dark penciled-in eyebrows, of course, which have been replaced with that lovely mother-of-six glow. [Images: Splash News] Keep reading »
Amsterdam, known by many for its drugs and its brothels, is trying to clean up its image. The city council’s finance chief has a vision of people walking through Amsterdam’s China Town and the city’s old ramparts, followed by a cappuccino next to the city’s oldest church. The problem is, there isn’t a place to get a cup of coffee in the city center, because that’s the heart of Amsterdam’s red light district. Over the next 10 years, the number of prostitutes windows will be reduced by half, to about 250, and they will be concentrated on just two streets. The number of coffee shops that sell cannabis will also be halved, to 38. In their place, up-market retail chains and food purveyors. So, if you want to experience a dirtier version of Amsterdam, go now; but if you want to have a cleaner, less gritty trip, wait a few years and the prostitutes will mostly be gone.
