My 2009 New Year’s Resolutions

Amelia McDonell-ParryDecember 29, 2008 //

This week, The Frisky will be revealing their oh-so-ambitious resolutions for 2009. We encourage you to submit yours in the comments — maybe you’ll inspire others to adapt the same resolutions and at the very least you’ll get some support. Especially for your resolution to eat more donuts this year. That’s something we can all get behind. Amelia will start…

1. Commit to going to yoga three times a week: And at the very least, getting into headstand. Forearm stand, I will tackle you in 2010. Handstand, see you in 2011.
2. Introduce myself to new music: And go to see more bands play live. I used to love doing this, but have stopped going on a regular basis. And I need some Ladyhawke and Little Joy to balance out all the Beyonce and Britney.
3. Curb bad behaviors: My bad behaviors are drinking too much wine and then eating copious amounts of mac ‘n’ cheese while sending regrettable Facebook messages. Must stop this in 2009. Keep reading »

Quickies!: Rihanna Planning Acting Career, Big Surprise!

  • Rihanna will play the lead female role in a remake of “The Last Dragon.” Maybe she’ll disappear just like Vanity did soon after playing this role. [Mediatakeout]
  • Remember when the only thing you drew on your Etch-a-Sketch was a jumble of lines? Some people are actually able to create art on their’s. [Asylum]
  • It may not seem like it, but there are some Hollywood marriages that have survived. And there are enough to do a top ten list. [Your Tango]
  • Madonna’s New Year’s resolution is to stop trying so hard. Well not really, but it’s a good suggestion. [Shine]

    Britney To Stop Biting And Other Celeb New Year’s Resolutions

    Suzanne MichelleDecember 26, 2008 //

    The great thing about a new year? You get to make a fresh start. And once the champagne has been finished and the confetti has fallen, it’s time to put those resolutions into action — well, at least for a week or two. We mere mortals aren’t the only ones resolving to hit the gym more frequently, call Granny more often and save more of that paycheck. Celebrities from Britney Spears to a duchess (and we don’t mean Fergie) are vowing to make some ch-ch-changes. Here’s who’s doing what and why…

    Britney Spears
    After a helluva year, the pop tart has amazingly landed on her dancing feet, but she says there’s still work to be done. “I would like to stop worrying so much [in 2009],” she told Glamour, “because I worry all the time. And to learn how to be happier, just in general. I have to learn to take things not so seriously. And to stop biting my nails!” Keep reading »

    The Last 31 Days Of 2008: Go Shopping For A Man

    Catherine StrawnDecember 18, 2008 //

    I don’t have any men in my life who need presents — except for my dog, of course — but making a trip to the men’s department is going to make these last few days of frantic shopping bearable. Why? Because there are handsome things to take in, and I’m not talking about what’s for sale. Just look at this model on Steven Alan’s website. After seeing his cute, scruffy face, I feel so much better about having not bought a single present. Keep reading »

    The Last 31 Days Of 2008: Use Up Your Sick/Vacation Days

    Catherine StrawnDecember 15, 2008 //

    If you’re a working girl, you have a certain number of days you can take off for vacation, illness, etc., and at a lot of companies, these days off don’t carry over into the next year. Make sure to use as many of your days as possible before the year ends — just don’t so much that your boss realizes you’re dispensable.

    The Last 31 Days Of 2008: Do The Thing You’ve Been Putting Off

    Catherine StrawnDecember 13, 2008 //

    I bought a lamp at a thrift store for $1.95 over the summer. It’s a beautiful thing — white porcelain with tiny gold stars along its edges. The only problem was that it didn’t turn on when I plugged it in. The lamp sat at home, useless, until I finally got fed up and went to Home Depot. A nice older man taught me about rewiring, and I even learned how to do an underwriters knot! Take the next couple weeks to complete the project you’ve had on hold for ages. Just do it, okay?

    The Last 31 Days Of 2008: Stop Getting Catalogs

    Catherine StrawnDecember 11, 2008 //

    Some catalogs are worth their weight in paper, others are a waste. I get an average of two L.L. Bean catalogs a month, and while I adore them and the fact that they sell plaid duct tape (amazing, right?!), I really don’t need to see the same sweaters, duck boots, and alarm clocks multiple times each month. Just think of those poor trees that were cut down to make all those L.L. Bean catalogs! So, I am going to call up my favorite purveyor of monogrammed tote bags and tell them to stop sending me glossy books every month. You should do the same — or go to Catalog Choice and communicate with companies about what catalogs you no longer wish to receive.

    The Last 31 Days Of 2008: Start Flossing

    Catherine StrawnDecember 10, 2008 //

    Dental hygiene is important, people. If you don’t wash your face for a while, you might sprout a few zits. Those go away in time. If you stop brushing your teeth, they might fall out. Tooth loss is forever. Use the next 21 days to develop a habit that will keep your chompers in business. If you’re lazy like me, try dental flossers, which even come in the shape of dinosaurs! Plaque is not sexy. Floss. Keep reading »

    The Last 31 Days Of 2008: Get Rid Of Your Gross Underwear

    Catherine StrawnDecember 9, 2008 //

    Who doesn’t have a few pairs of underwear that are a few washes past flattering, or a bra that looks more gray than white? If you want a fresh start this January, you better get a few fresh pairs. And, bonus, cute new undies mean you’ll never have an embarrassing Bridget Jones-moment if you get lucky. Here are a few Frisky staff favorites to make your shopping a little easier…

    1. Honeydew Intimates Fine Mesh Boyshorts, $14, Nordstrom.com
    2. Victorian Lace Boyshort, $3.80, Forever21.com
    3. Ultra Low Lacy Tanga, $14.50, Gap.com

    The Last 31 Days Of 2008: Organize Or Clip Your Magazines

    Annika HarrisDecember 5, 2008 //

    I’m a collector of many things, like shoes, Barbie dolls and magazines (I still have the first issue of Lucky). I never really notice my magazine stacks until I’m trying to find space on my bedroom floor for a new shoe box. Obviously, my boudoir is cluttered, so this month I’m going to go through all my mags and only keep the really important ones. I’ll also clip out any stories, photos or covers I like. And while I’m at it, I’ll create an inspiration board of my clippings, lifting the clutter off the floor and onto an organized bulletin board. I think this is the perfect step for you to also get a jump on your New Year’s de-clutter resolution.
