UCLA Students lend Baby Squirrel a Backpack

UCLA Students lend Baby Squirrel a Backpack

February 8, 2010 · 5 Comments 

With all the stressful events going on in the world, I thought a few minutes of cuteness would be a nice – albeit short – break. This five minute video was taken at UCLA, and is pretty damn high on the cute scale (I like the ’soundtrack’, too!).

A Guy's Opinion

Seven things men want in a relationship

Seven things men want in a relationship

October 21, 2009 · 8 Comments 

A few weeks ago, a single friend asked me what I thought men are looking for in relationships.  She wanted to know if all we want is sex and a beautiful woman. Men are much deeper than you might think when it comes to what we want in relationships.  Granted, if what a guy’s  looking for is something very short term, the list is pretty basic (good looking and available).  However, when a man wants something real and lasting, the list changes quite a bit, just like I’m sure it does for women. So what most men want, and need, in a relationship are the following things: 1. Someone... [Read the full story]

Guy makes $7,000 Sex Robot for Lonely Dudes

Apparently sex by yourself with a bottle of Lubriderm and some Kleenex  just isn’t good enough for some guys. An Inventor unveiled ‘Roxxxy’ last month at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada.  I should mention Roxxy is a sex doll.  But not just any run-of-the-mill sex doll.  This sucker (pun intended) has a computer under her soft silicone “skin,” utilizes voice-recognition and speech-synthesis software to answer questions and carry on conversations.  She even comes loaded with five distinct “personalities,” from Frigid Farrah to Wild... [Read the full story]

Can Long Distance Relationships Work?

Can Long Distance Relationships Work?

January 25, 2010 · 15 Comments 

Several years ago, a friend landed a great job at a Wall Street firm right out of college.  While she was working there, she met another employee who was a good looking, successful guy originally from Australia. They started dating and seeing each other most every day and night.  After they’d been together for eight months, his Work Visa expired and he needed to go back to Australia. After he left, they spoke on the phone every day, twice a day.  He flew her out to see him twice for several weeks each visit, and he came back to see her as well.  This went on for about five months, and... [Read the full story]

With plenty of negative press surrounding what some people believe to be inauthentic-looking Black Barbies (BTW, I think Mattell may have forgotten to keep up production of their 1979 black Barbie Doll), I thought the beautifully diverse dolls below by doll designer Loanne Hizo Ostlie might have been a better model for a gi-ormous toy company to follow.

Rethinking your Resolution?

Rethinking your Resolution?

February 2, 2010 · 7 Comments 

OK, everybody – raise of hands…who made a resolution this year?  Next question…who has stuck to their resolution and has seen results?  Each year 80% of people who make New Year’s resolutions eventually break them and 30% don’t make it until the end of January.  And here we are in February…are you getting the timing of my blog? So why do so many well-intentioned folks jump ship?  Most likely it’s that the majority of resolutions are quick fixes and are often so extreme that it’s hard for anyone but Jillian Michaels to stick to them.  If you... [Read the full story]

Overweight Members kicked off Dating Site

I never knew a Dating / social networking site with the name BeautifulPeople.com actually existed until I read an article from the BBC. Anyhow, after some of their members pigged-out over the Holidays and packed on a couple of pounds, the not-so-nice people over at Beautiful People decided it was time to cull the...

Okay to lust after a 17 year old?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re aware of Taylor Lautner Fever that’s been sweeping the world. The star of the Twilight series has young girls giggling whenever his name is mentioned, and flipping out when they see yet another shirtless picture of him. However, let’s not forget...
