Feminism in the Morning
Written By: Kat Pretty frequently, I get riled up about the state of feminism and begin to yell. Sometimes it’s triggered by a news story– an ignorant political comment, a gendered legal battle, a violent rape. Sometimes, it’s triggered when a man makes me uncomfortable walking down the street, leering, commenting on my body. Sometimes, … Read more

Be My Valentine
Written By: Kat Over the past decade, hating on Valentines Day has become about as trendy and ironic as loving bacon. I loathe retail holidays as much as the next guy– the alarming red and pink all-up-in-your-face for a month beforehand– so I’ve definitely been on that V.Day hate train, myself. But several years ago, … Read more
It’s Time I Talk About This
Written By: Anonymous A teenage girl nervously squeezing her football jacket-clad boyfriend as her concerned mother sits a few seats away.

Written By: Kat This Christmas, I received from my mother an emerald green Coach bag. It is embossed leather with brass fixtures. It’s the perfect size and color and style.

Ode To Waterproof Eye Makeup
Written By: Kat For years now, I have fallen in and out of love with “must-have” beauty products.

But through all my experimenting, all my haphazard forays into product infatuation, my love affair with waterproof eye-makeup has … Read more
What Should I Wear to Vote?
Written By: Kat Every four years, we ladies get handed an additional responsibility when contemplating our fall fashion choices. I am speaking, of course, of the crucial election day outfit. Now, you could theoretically just schlepp to the polls in your rattiest sweatpants and threadbare Loony Tunes character shirt; as long as you are voting, … Read more
Well, Isn’t That Pinteresting?
Written By: Kat Today I logged into Pinterest for the first time in a few weeks. As I scrolled through, page after page loading, I was quickly reminded of how terrible and plebeian everything in my life is. My bedroom doesn’t look anything like an airy beachside bungalow, my wall-hangings have zero rustic character, and … Read more

I Hate What You Wore This Summer
Written By: Kat Summer is my favorite season. I love the sunshine and flowers, I love the warmth, the humidity, and I usually love the fashion. This year, however, I am experiencing an internal dilemma: while I am enjoying this fabulous weather, my eyes are so ready for the muted tones and fitted styles of … Read more
