By Alexa Day May is a busy month for everyone, isn’t it? Graduations. Mother’s Day. Memorial Day weekend, and the beginning of beach season. I want to encourage you to add another priority to this month’s activities. May is also National Masturbation Month. I think it’s time you gave yourself a little more attention. Probably…
By Alexa Day It’s almost shirtless season again. Shirtless season is one of my favorite times of year, and after such an excessive winter (seriously, who wanted all that?), I’m unusually eager for warmer weather in 2015. Not only will I be able to plan an entire week without having to worry about snow, ice,…
Gentlemen: I know you don’t necessarily like to talk about it, but I can tell you’re paying attention to the latest in men’s style. You might not be walking around in the newest runway looks (and thank you for not doing that), but no one wants to look like they’re stuck in the grunge era.…
By Alexa Day I had a post in mind for today. This was going to be my annual Valentine’s Day open letter, and I was all set to scold those people who think their mates are “too cool” to want/need a gift for the occasion. And then I got to thinking about Colleen McCullough.…
By Alexa Day I know we just finished up the holiday season. I know we’re still working through our resolutions and such. But Valentine’s Day is coming. It’ll be here before you know it. Think about taking this extra time to prepare for something super hot. In the past, I’ve suggested any number of possible…
Dear Ms. Ellin: Just the other day, I read your article in The New York Times, in which you take women to task for planning their weddings long before they’re engaged — in some cases when they aren’t even dating. I have some concerns about your position, but before I get to that, I want…
By Alexa Day A little while ago, BBC America’s website ran a slideshow exploring the allure of the cravat. There’s not an awful lot to the cravat; in and of itself, it isn’t that complicated. But the simple cravat speaks volumes about everyday sexiness in our modern American society. Sadly, most of us live in…
By Alexa Day Happy October, neighbors! Are you as excited about Halloween as I am? You’re probably not. Seriously, when it comes to Halloween, I’m like Will Ferrell’s character in Elf. If you were as excited as I am, you’d probably be hospitalized. But even if your excitement is just at normal levels, I know…
Dear Well-Meaning Persons: I know that you’ve noticed that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have gotten married. I personally don’t have any particular feelings about the two of them. I suppose I hope they’ll be happy, the way I’d wish that for any pair of newlyweds, but that’s about all I can manage. I’m…
At the risk of sounding like Cosmo, I want to take a little space today to consider what men want. Don’t worry, friends. We’ll come around to what women want in just a second. After long weeks of long days of making things happen, men are tired. We women are tired, too. I know. Bear…
