Look Who’s Vlogging!
Hey, peeps! I'm taking a crack at video blogging (or vlogging as the kids call it). I'm still fumbling my way around the YouTubes, but once I get the hang of things this could work out well. Making videos may be a good fit in the new flow of my impending academic life. And you guys get to see me in all of my early-morning, un-makeuped glory. Keepin' it real, folks...keepin' it, real. If you want to keep up with all the video fun, boogie on over to YouTube where you … [Read More...]
Jessica Alba, Corsets and Celebrity Body Image
Before I get into stuff, I want to apologize to y’all for my unannounced extended absence. I won’t bore you with the dull details, but sufficed to say life stuff got in the way of blog stuff. I also apologize, because I’m about to go on a rant. I know it’s kind of shitty when you haven’t seen someone in awhile and then the first thing they do is start complaining. But I’ve got some thoughts that are making my brain itch, so please indulge me while I purge them. I promise to hit … [Read More...]
What Goes Up, Must Come Down: A Lesson In Bum Sex
A few weeks ago, a dude known by the Twitter handle Grawly, gained the dubious distinction of being the first person to live tweet his visit to the emergency room after getting a vibrator stuck in his rectum. The Internets labelled Grawly an oversharer, but I disagree. Grawly a.k.a Rude Ass Robot (apt!) did us a solid. In my opinion we don't chat about anal sex nearly enough. Fact is, lots of people from all walks of life enjoy doing it bumwise. But in order to have safe, healthy anal … [Read More...]
Question Of The Week
Spring has sprung! The season of rebirth is always has a slow start 'round these parts. But there are more sunny days than cloudy, the snow is melting and the air carries hints of the warmer weather to come. Olde tyme cartoons often portray spring as the lovey-doviest of seasons. Flowers, songbirds and frolicking lambs create a heady, bucolic back-drop for moony couples who's pupils morph into hearts as they gaze into each other's eyes. In reality, this early part of spring … [Read More...]
Low Libido and Other Frightening Adventures
Confession: I haven't been having much sex lately. I know that many people experience ebbs and flows of libido. Mine has been in a prolonged period of ebb...long enough that I know there's some underlying cause. What is it? I've been thinking about it. A lot. The Man of Mans and I have talked about it at length. I began writing about it a few times, then back out. Truth is...I was embaraased. I was afraid to admit that despite all of my professional experience, when it comes … [Read More...]
Spring Break
'Tis the season of Passover, Easter and a personal "to-do" list that needs some extra attention this week. So I'm taking a little spring break from blogging today through Easter Monday. No drunken parties or topless beach rampages, but I do have big plans that include organizing my office, spending quality time with my neglected laundry pile and learning to make gluten-free creme eggs. Girl. Gone. WILD! See you next week, Nadine … [Read More...]
Question Of The Week?
Originally my question for this week was going to be the 90's rom-com standard: Can men and women be friends? But I'm not a fan of the heteronormative, exclusive wording of that question. Also, it's kind of broad. I know men and women can be friends. I've seen it happen. So going along the same lines, but tweaking the intention a little, my questions for you this week are: Do you have friendships with people of your preferred sexual gender(s)? Have you ever experienced sexual attraction … [Read More...]
