Gloria Steinem Issues Statement To Us Weekly On Kim Kardashian's Baby Weight

As Kim Kardashian incubates a tiny Kimye inside of her, many trashy tabloids have published stories speculating on what she plans to do with all that baby weight. Cry about it? Get a tummy tuck?

10 Reasons I Love Birth Control Pills

10 Reasons I Love Birth Control Pills

A few days ago, we published a post that a lot of you didn’t like called 10 Reasons I Stopped Birth Control Pills. So now, I’m offering a counterpoint of sorts. As someone who’s been on the pill since high school, I’ve had a pretty positive experience with it over the years, so I thought I should share my own reasons for loving it. I want to make it clear that I don’t think my personal experiences will apply to everyone, but I’ve also included some helpful facts, because facts + anecdotes = perfectly balanced ladysite, right? Right. More »

Pregnant? A Half-Hour Emergency.

Pregnant? A Half-Hour Emergency.

Sitting at brunch with my friend Meagan one day, we started talking about the differences between our 20s and 30s.

At the start of our 20s, our priorities were (and these are more or less in order) doing well at work, dancing until 4 a.m., karaoke, drinking, and trying to make a dollar from fifteen cents.

Drew Barrymore Gets Photographed From The Shoulders Up For Harper's Bazaar's 'Big Fashion Issue'

When shooting Drew Barrymore for the cover editorial of their upcoming “Big Fashion Issue,”Harper’s Bazaar made an interesting choice: they only showed the very top of her. This can mean just one thing: Drew Barrymore is super fat now! Okay, so I’m mostly kidding, but wouldn’t it make more sense for the Big Fashion Issue to photograph Drew wearing some awesome head-to-toe ensembles? I know she just had a baby, but she is probably still thinner than most people, and I bet she would have looked just fine in the clothes. At least she looks nice from the shoulders up. What she looks like below that, we will never know. More »
