A friend sent me a link to this little gem on the Do’s and Don’ts of dating Mark Hamill.   Some of my favorites included: “Do know that he has a zany sense of humor [ladies!]” “Don’t be lazy, do sports [laides!]” I added the “ladies” for good measure – but read the full thing [...]

  Poor Gwyneth Paltrow. In the latest issue of Elle Décor magazine, she was asked to describe the 10 household items she just couldn’t live without for their monthly “Shortlist” column. Not luxurious items she likes having or every-now-and-then splurges, but items she simply couldn’t be apart from. It wasn’t good. I don’t mean to bad-mouth [...]

I came across this awful mnemonic via Reddit yesterday. “Blasphemous Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly“  The OP (original poster) said it was from his friend’s book, but I have so many questions!  Like, when was this book published, what the heck were the authors thinking, and generally, W T F?  And [...]

My dear friend (and girlhack writer!) @kirsten_ posted this yesterday to twitter.  It’s a fashion video for Lanvin Fall 2011 and the models are doing Dance Central moves, horrible I might add.  I suppose that might be the point and not ALL the moves are from DC (at least that I can tell by how [...]

This little video is all over the Internet since it launched yesterday, and so most likely you have seen it.  If you haven’t, my friend, Dan Trachtenburg, has spent the last year and a half working to make this short film a reality.  It took him coordinating favors through twitter and getting SFX guys to [...]

This translates to a wardrobe mostly comprised of jeans, t-shirts and hoodies.  But whether you are a professional, cubicle dweller, student, or stay-at-home mom, there is an easy way to girly-up [...]
