Women Spend Hundreds of Days Deciding What to Wear

Published by under Beauty Buzz

Clueless closet

We can’t all have Cher’s closet and computer system from Clueless. The rest of us must pick out outfits like mere mortals, and that takes time. Apparently, a lot of time. A new study found that the average woman will spend 287 days deciding what to wear.

Picking out outfits for Friday and Saturday nights and for holidays takes up the most time, with around 20 minutes of decision making going into the process. When it comes to getting up and getting dressed, on average women spend 16 minutes deciding what to wear during weekday mornings and around 14 minutes on Saturday or Sunday morning. That sounds accurate enough, unless you’re like me and “fashion” on Sunday morning means sweatpants and a T-shirt that actually matches.

The Morning Dish: 10 Things Not to Say to a Professional Wrestling Fan

Published by under Morning Dish

Rock

So, you just found out that your crush is a wrestling fan, and now you’re worried that means he’ll have a case of arrested development and a race-car bed? Don’t be. Millions of viewers tune in every week and 35 percent of WWE fans are women(!).

If you’re hoping to challenge him to a “Between-the-Sheets Battle Royale,” don’t assume he’s some sort of easily amused imbecile. Avoid these foolish phrases, and you’ll have a much better shot to smell what he’s cookin’.

Miller High Life Puts a Lid on Popped Collars

Published by under Beauty Buzz

Collar clip

Keep your guy and his collar in place with these high grade tin HLI Collar Clips. While Miller High Life may be kidding the need for this product on the market is very serious. If all else fails, a paper clip should work. But perhaps if that collar just won’t stay put, perhaps you shouldn’t either.

Work As a “Wingwoman,” Earn Serious Cash

Published by under Off the Press,Relationships

Wing woman

I’m not a big Best of Craigslist person, but maybe I should be. While perusing the site today, I stumbled upon a gem of a job posting. While it’s not that recent, it’s possible the position is still open. You never know, in this economy these opportunities don’t come along often.

You too can put your skills to good use and become a professional wingwoman (er, I mean “personal introduction assistant”). I’d summarize the requirements, but I think I’d better let the ad do the talking:

We have an opening for a part-time personal introduction assistant, aka a “wingwoman.”

You must be classy and dress well.

Beyond that you must be able to do 4 things: 1) start conversations with beautiful women; 2) after that, remain totally silent, unless spoken directly to, but smile and look friendly while the man you are “winging” orchestrates the social situation; 3) socialize and block any man or woman attempting to interfere with the man you are winging and any woman he is chatting with; and 4) end any conversation you are having instantly at the direction of the man you are winging. These requirements are essential, not for everyone, and difficult to do well.

Now, this is a job (that’s why you get paid), but it’s very fun, and you may even make new friends, or even meet someone special, if it doesn’t interfere with your primary employment purpose.

This job is not for you if you are uptight, frumpy, grumpy, shy, a man-hater, a debbie downer, a critic, a control freak, a pouter, a therapist, researching, writing an article, with the press, a prostitute, an escort, a relationship counselor, or a feminist with a bone to pick. Gack.

You must be 18, usually 21 for the events we attend. All work is in public at cocktail parties, charity benefits, museum openings, and the like. You will be added to any list in advance, and any fees for the event will be paid. You are responsible for transportion. Subways are $2. Although many events have free food and drink, this isn’t dating, so don’t ask to be bought anything. If you do ask, by mistake, don’t be grumpy and bring the mood down when the answer is a polite no, or you will be paid for the time you have spent and politely sent packing.

This job is definitely for you if you are easygoing, classy, dress extremely well, and enjoy many, varied, and sometimes challenging social situations.

Our roster of full-time wingwomen is full, but we do have a part-time opening. Yes we are serious. Yes we are real. You might even have the time of your life.

Fan mail, hate mail, and non-responsive replies will not receive answers, so save us both the time and don’t bother.

Please respond with a photo and contact information to the craigslist email in this ad. Thank you for your time. 

Who are these people that must hire wing women? Because last time I checked, those positions are usually filled by friends. But when you can offer $30/hour to someone for hanging out in a bar, who needs friends?

Cocktail of the Week: Margarita Popsicles

Published by under Entertainment

Margarita Popsicle

It’s that time again… Cocktail of the Week. Because let’s be honest, the only thing you really care about on Friday afternoon is how quickly you can get some alcohol pumping through that overworked body. We’re here to help.

Once again I’m diverging slightly from the traditional cocktail, but it’s summer and it’s hot. So if you can combine the powers of alcohol with a frozen treat, why wouldn’t you? Just warn the kiddies – These are definitely grown up ice pops.

Better still, these adult popsicles come from an expert: Emeril Lagasse. While he’s never been a favorite TV chef of mine (It’s still you Tom Colicchio!), he looks like someone who knows how to make a drink… even if it’s in frozen form. So, whip up some Margarita Popsicles and enjoy the alcoholic treat (as well as an excuse to stand in the freezer for a little while).

Read on for the recipe.
