To die for.
Fall's only a few weeks off, but this season has had so many pretty looks that it would be a shame to transition without at least giving them a try. Whether it's hair that's best worn at the beach or eyeliner that's electrifying on warm nights, you deserve to rock these trends at least a couple times before your jackets and boots come back out. So click through to get the most out of the dog Read more
Whether or not you're ready to admit it, the Summer is quickly slipping away from us. PopSugar's heading into the finals for her annual shirtless men bracket, which inspired me to put together a slideshow of my own. The past few months have brought with it a bucket of sexy shirtless moments, so take a look back at the guys who helped make Summer 2010 memorable. Read more
Helen Mirren isn't your average 65 year old. Earlier this Summer she posed naked in a bath tub for New York magazine, and she's made splashes for wearing itty bitty bathing suits into her 60s. Her fearlessness might be encouraging everyday older women to suit up in two-pieces. The Daily Mail says one retailer has seen a rise in the sales of bikinis to women over 50, and the paper credits the Read more
If you're a fan of cold soups like I am, I'm sure you'll agree they're the perfect midday refreshment during one of Summer's heat waves. Although gazpacho takes a lot of credit for its cooling properties, don't discount other traditional warm-weather favorites, like the chilled version of the Eastern European soup known as borscht. The soup's beets, aside from having a nice depth of flavor, Read more
I'm not much of a steak and eggs girl in the morning, but dinner is a different story entirely. Earlier this week, I laid eyes on this recipe for grilled steak and eggs, and tonight I'm going to live out my dream of making this hearty, guy-friendly supper. New York Strip and runny eggs are both wonderful alone, but when they come together with a tangy, smoky barbecue sauce, the sum is greater Read more
Monday I asked for the best place you'd ever had sex when the weather was hot. Lots of you agreed that woods were impractical, but bodies of water and trampolines seem to be completely doable. Now that another warm weekend is here, here are your suggestions. On a hotel balcony A dock at night Back of a pickup Trampoline On a boat In some A/C Pool Ocean Any more? Read more
During my celebration over the long weekend, I fondly recalled the fact that over 150 million hot dogs — roughly one frank for every two people in the United States — are consumed on the Fourth. Yet at the same time, I couldn't help but imagine all the flames that burned under those dogs, and the ecological impact that must have on our planet. In response, I did a little research on ways to Read more
Sex is hot. So when the weather warms up, it can be extra sultry or just unpleasant. A study by Trojan Brand Condoms — of all companies — found that 35 percent of Americans report delaying sex until the temperature drops. With a heat wave on the East Coast and Summer in full effect everywhere else, sex is at risk for a seasonal drought. But not if we can help it! Tell us the best place Read more
Saudi Arabia may be a fundamentalist-Islamic state with rules for women that are stricter than a Christian Summer camp, but that doesn't mean no swimming. Women just need to cover up, but with more hijab and less sunscreen. Writer Maureen Dowd hired herself a male escort — not that kind, but one that allows women out in the Saudi Arabian public — and scheduled her Summer vacation. In August's Read more
I've already given you some fun ways to catch up on books and movies with me while TV is on hiatus, but you can still use the Summer to get into those shows you've fallen behind on. With two full months of near-empty DVR space to tackle, I like to take this time to watch certain shows marathon-style. One of my friends is busy trying to jump on the Mad Men bandwagon before season four kicks off, Read more
