boobs
As shocking as it may sound, it is possible to convey that a character is interested in sex and relationships without physically stripping her naked for us to look at. It happens with dudes all the time.
star trek
music
There are already enough pleasurable things we feel guilty about, let’s not add music, books, and movies to the list.
music
At times like this, music is the only thing that can lift the spirits, allowing you to shut your eyes and let some sun-soaked melody flood your brain and alleviate the spirit-crushing misery of another sullen, cloudy day.
books
There’s something profoundly satisfying in watching a novel that you just wasted days of your life NOT enjoying bouncing off a wall

snl
Stefon = the best. Ever. Kanye = the best. Ever. SNL killed it.
netflix
What's that? You want my reviews of movies and TV shows I've discovered on Netflix and found out I'm glad I watched? And you want to give me YOUR recs? Yay!

music
I remember the crinkle of the plastic wrap on the very first cassette that belonged solely to me, instead of being something I'd "borrowed" from my parents.
gay gay gay
From now on, you can't use the term "bromance" about two people unless they are actually bros in a romance. Those are the new rules.
books
What unites a diverse range of perspectives and experiences is the unashamed passion – even obsession – for rollerderby which is more than just a sport, but a subculture and a way of life soaked in riot grrrl attitude.
racism
Lucy Liu is perfectly happy naming, and talking about, the elephant in the room: racism is a problem in Hollywood.
hangover 3
"The Hangover" made me so happy to be alive and is one of the funniest movies ever made. "The Hangover 2" made me wish I would have watched 90 minutes of the stars just sitting around counting their money instead.
crying
When I started acting in LA, I was constantly cast as the crying girl in plays like Chekhov’s “Three Sisters,” weird indie films and the occasional absurd and tragic music video.
amanda knox
If I ever made crass or asinine comments about Amanda Knox's attractiveness, or propensity for murder, or very bad ideas, on Twitter, I shamefully retract them.
hit it first
The whole sad affair got me to thinking about all the sorry clowns out there who could potentially throw a bitter wrench all up in my flow.
open thread
nicki minaj
I'm deeply enjoying Nicki Minaj throwing down with Billy Bush and Mariah Carey. I love what a fearless boss this woman is.
photo shoots
Do you have any recommendations for looking a bit slimmer three days from now?
reese witherspoon
Okay, so she said "Do you know who I am?" But her husband really threw her under the bus.
music
I would say 90% of the music I listen to is “depressing” or at least “vaguely upsetting” and almost always in minor keys.
media
I was contacted by a reporter who said how she had been "enjoying" my pieces in xoJane and wanted to profile me. That's how it started.
beyonce
I count myself very lucky to have been able to witness this one-woman powerhouse in all her glory
