How To Wear Fishnets Without Looking Like Some Sort Of French Maid Stripper

Wear a different color of tights under it

Some days you wake up and are like “today, I’m going to take off work and be a french maid stripper with my lover who fits all my specifications for that kind of sex game.” Other days are kind of drizzly and you have no clean tights to wear except those fishnets you have left over from the sex games. This is for those days. More »

NSFW: How To Take Good Naked Photos Of Yourself

Stop holding the camera up to the mirror

We’ve kind of touched on this before for TheGloss’s male readers, but I feel like we have a lot of famous celebrity lady readers who could use our help (still waiting for my friendship bracelets/hang-out offers from Zooey Deschanel, but it’s cool, no rush).

What We Learned From The Clueless “How To Dress Like A Wealthy Woman” Video

The same woman who made the “how to dress punk” video (the key was “wear a black tank-top” and “don’t be normal”) has an equally enlightening video on how to look “wealthy.” “Finally!” I thought “clues on getting that sexy Hapsburg lip!” Boy, was I disappointed. More »

How To Tie A Scarf (So It Looks Really Cool)

Are you one of those people who gets cold at night during the summer? Yes? Do you wear a scarf all the time? I’m one of those people, but it just hangs sort of limply over my shoulders. More »

How To Cuddle All Night Without Your Arm Falling Asleep

I once dated someone, and fell asleep laying on his arm. “Oh, no,” I said, ‘I’m going to cut off the circulation in your arm.”

“Careful,” he replied, “I think Sloane Crosley has that phrase copyrighted for her 17th book.”

Sloane Crosely’s 17th book “I’m Going To Cut Off The Circulation In Your Arm” will seem irrelevant after you read this guide, illustrated with my badly drawn stick figures. You’ll never lose circulation again! More »

Video: Do You Want To Know How To Apply Nail Strips? Here Is How!

Manicures are difficult, because trying to do anything interesting is like trying to paint the Sistine Chapel, but really tiny, as if your nail were a Sistine Chapel for ants. Which is probably why whenever we try to do anything that involves painting out nails more than one plain color, our nails look like we were just in a paintball match. That makes us sad. They’re a constant reminder that we were NOT in a paintball match, and we love paintball matches. Fortunately, Sally Hansen has created a new line of adhesive nail strips. They look like nail polish, but you just pick up the strips and press them on your nails. And they last for ten days! The girls over at Bella Sugar created this video showing us – and you – how to apply them. More »

Video Beauty Tips: A How-To With An Eye Makeup Virgin

Readers, I have a confession to make: I have never, ever put on eye makeup.

I should clarify. I love mascara and wear it a lot. But liner? Shadow? No way. I’ve had my makeup done for a TV appearance or at a makeup counter before, and loved the way that it looked. But I’ve always felt clumsy about doing my own makeup, especially when it comes to eyes. Luckily, the wonderful Amber Katz, who runs Beauty Blogging Junkie, offered to give me a tutorial. More »

The Heart Monitor: How to Deal with a Crying Woman

I cry all the time.

Anything can set me off. Used to be bad PMS, a sad movie, or a break up would do the trick. If you sat me down in front of Beaches I was a rainstorm of emotion.

I’ve always been a crier, but my tear-stained bar is so much lower these days. I cry during heartstring-tugging coffee comercials. I run to the office bathroom and burst into tears after a stressful meeting. I disagree with my boyfriend about planning a trip and start sobbing. More »

If you live to be 85, you will get to be alive for 744,600 hours. If you have a forty-year career during which you spend about an hour a day in meetings 50 weeks a year, that’s about 10,000 hours, or 1.3% of your life, or 2% of your waking hours.

I don’t know about you, but if anything gets 2% of all the waking hours I get for my entire life, it really ought to involve liquor, orgasms, or receiving personalized trophies. More »
