Would You Wednesday: Give Me a Ring

It’s no secret that Jennifer Love Hewitt is A) a little bit loopy and B) hasn’t had the best luck in the dating department.  So, it comes as no surprise that she created quite a bit of buzz in a recent interview.  When she appeared on the Ellen Degeneres Show, she revealed that she’s got three different rings at Tiffany’s all picked out for her future betrothed.

Now, in reality, most young ladies all have a certain ring in mind when they think about the “big question” being popped.  So, there is certainly a chance that we may have left subtle hints lying around or have pointed out a ring we like on someone else’s finger.  Some of us may have even delegated a close friend (with good taste) as the “go to” gal if your beau should have any questions or need guidance.  I think all of that is normal.

However, the way Ms. Hewitt approached the topic was totally tacky and what sparked all the buzz.  Picking her rings from Tiffany’s was her first rookie mistake in my humble opinion.  I mean, could you be any more predictable and dull?  Probs not.  The real issue lies within her comments about not wanting to be “disappointed” with her ring.  Did we not already cover this? Yo, Jen Love?   Perhaps if you spent more time picking out a stellar stud, you could spend less time worrying about a gemological dud.

So, is it wrong to make a finger bling wish list? Or is it just plain tacky?

well, good luck, JLove.

Would You Wednesday: Skeggings

I mean, first came leggings, then came jeggings, then majeggings, all leading up to the ingenious “pajama jeans.”  (To be clear: NONE of these are pants). Now there’s apparently a little somethin’ somethin’ from the fine folks at HUE being made available to you called “skeggings.” (Anyone else thinking the name could possibly have been derived from skank + leggings?).

I’m sort of torn on these “skeggings.”  While they are absolutely hideous (the way they are styled in this photo make me want to just end it) at least your vdot will be covered. I mean, it seems that some people will just never learn that leggings are not, nor will they ever be, pants. So, while these skirted leggings are sort of ridiculous, maybe they are doing more good than harm?

Would You Wednesday: Adult Dorms?

I don’t remember exactly what it was that I was researching on the web (it’s really hard to tell), but somehow I stumbled upon this article and was totally intrigued.  All this time I’d lived in New York and never knew such a place existed.  The Webster is a women’s only housing facility smack dab in the middle of the city. Residents at The Webster have their own furnished room with a shared bathroom, get a warm breakfast and dinner daily, have access to an insane garden as well as roofdeck, and can use any of the common areas (including library, TV room, recreation room with piano) all for under $1000 a month!  For those of you not familiar with NY housing costs, $1500 is the typical entry point for a studio apartment (that I can assure will not have a roofdeck or garden).

There are some stipulations, however.  No male visitors are permitted in bedrooms and elevators and are confined strictly to the downstairs recreation areas.  To be a “guest” in The Webster, ladies must be either be students working fifteen hours per week or be working full time.  You can find out how to apply right here (they don’t use email!).

I know my parents would have sent my application in for me if they had known this place was an option.  Not only because my father will believe I am a virgin until I pop out my first born (and even then will probably believe it to be immaculate conception), but also because it is a serious piece of mind.  My parents helped dole out the extra cash so I could live in a doorman building during my first summer in New York City.  Knowing that they could check in on me with the help of my doormen put them at ease when they (heaven forbid) could not reach me on my cell phone.

Webster isn’t the only type of facility like this in the city.  There are a few others scattered throughout Manhattan and one of the most famous, Barbizon Hotel, was featured (though called something different) in Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar.  Sylvia, Grace Kelly, Liza Minnelli, and Joan Crawford all actually lived there in real life!

It sounds totally retro, but also kind of awesome at the same time.  I can’t help but think how different my life might have been if I had lived in an apartment complex like this.

So, girls’ night?

Would You Wednesday: It’s a Wrap!

In 1973 Diane von Furstenberg debuted her first wrap dress which through up’s and down’s would remain a constant staple piece in any savvy woman’s arsenal.  Despite some business woes in the late seventies, DVF was relaunched in 1997 and has been growing stronger since.  The reason her clothing (especially that wrap dress) has maintained popularity is because they are designed for women to wear on an every day basis. They are functional, yet still beautiful.  Most of her designs can easily transcend day to night. And the best part? Basically ever body type looks fantastic in her wraps!

DVF Jeanne Wrap Dress in Simple Winter Garden, $325

So, when I heard she had introduced a wrap romper to her line this season, I was ecstatic.  I mean, I don’t know that anyone needs a wrap romper, per se… but I just love anything romper.  When you add DVF + romper it =’s a huge win in my book.

DVF Skylar Romper in Vintage Hearts, $385

While my love for rompers is unwavering, I know that not everyone (unbelievably) feels the same way.  What do you think about the DVF wrap romper? Love it? Hate it?

I think I’ll wrap that up to go.

Would You Wednesday: When I Think About You…

Taylor Momsen was criticized not so long about when she made remarks about young girls needing to “learn yourself first.”  She also let it be known that she is an advocate for female masturbation and considers her vibrator her best friend. While, her comments were a bit shocking coming from a seventeen year old, I think she may very well be on to something.

For so long, girls have been taught that sex and especially masturbation are “bad.”  Both have almost been made to feel shameful for young ladies.  Meanwhile, boys go through the whole Vaseline by the nightstand phase without a bit of guilt.  Girls need to learn what feels good.  So many are under the impression that sex and submission is to impress boys and never really learn what and where all their pieces and parts do and are. Maybe if girls realized they could make themselves feel good, they wouldn’t give it up so easily.  Perhaps then we wouldn’t be bombarded with shows like Sixteen and Pregnant and Teen Moms.

Not convinced  yet? Even Oprah hosted a show about this very topic. During the show, her guest, Dr. Berman, agreed that young girls should learn about orgasms and self pleasure in order to take control over their own sexuality and in the process avoid unhealthy sexual experiences, get more information at supremasi.top.  Some of you may be blushing as you read this, but with only 30% of women regularly having orgasms from sex, seems to me like we all could use a little education and perhaps a little help from our battery operated friends.

What do you think?
