In the deli this morning, waiting for my eggs ‘n’ bacon on a roll, an ad for the new Phil Collins musical, yes musical, came on the radio. As cheesy welling strings filled the room, the involuntary muscle that is my heart filled with it. But just as manipulation was about to overtake me, I smiled a secret smile knowing that I had been touched more deeply than even Phil Collins could […]
Booooo!
This is the new Mary Jane figurine. You know, MJ - Spiderman’s tough, spunky, independent, international model wife. But apparently she’s now being reimagined as Peter Parker’s laundry whore.
Mary Jane has long been an important character to comicbook fan-girls - she was a female character we could like and identitfy with. Like Lois Lane, she became so popular that she even got her own title - but unlike Lois, her boyfriend wasn’t a boring jock […]

Ahh…sex toys. So many women have them, and so many women want them. It seems that most women aren’t embarrassed to use them, they’re embarrassed to buy them. Rest assured ladies, buying a sex toy does not require you to walk into some sleazy porn store at least ten blocks from your office so you won’t be recognized coming out of it. Last weekend, I went with a friend to Toys in Babeland where we […]
Hey Ladies,
I’m assuming we’ve all been here, walking home late at night drunk, sober, or somewhere in between thinking, “maybe i should have left earlier,” or “i wish i had enough money to take a cab, but the driver would have just asked me about rim jobs anyway.” Well, here seems to be a healthy alternative to walking alone. Right Rides (www.rightrides.org). Right Rides is a volunteer driving service that offers, “women, transpeople and gender […]
When complaining to a friend, who had also read the book, about the lecherous stares I was getting from people while reading he simply said, “Did you take the jacket off? Everybody knows you gotta take the jacket off first!” And you should, because the jacket alone contains the words/phrases: “Porn star,” “Adult entertainment,” “rated x,” “Jenna Jameson.” It also has two very sexy pictures on both the front and back. She is clothed, but you […]
I live near NYU dorms and have become somewhat of a voyeur to the college crowd as they return back to school for the year. I look at these kids and I wonder, how the hell did I manage to get laid in college? There are some universal cockblocks almost all college students seem to achieve nationwide. Here is what I have observed:
Covergirl Amy Poehler!
Not a picture from Bust. But, in case you forgot what she looks like.
The October/November issue of BUST features a kick-ass interview with Amy Poehler, written by superstar writer/producer Jill Soloway. I’d be excited to read an interview with a hot dog by Jill Solloway, but Amy Poehler? I clapped my hands through the whole thing!
Soloway and Poehler discuss careers, the male gaze, and Kate Capshaw’s bush - along with my favorite topic: […]
Summer is almost over - you better make this weekend count. If you haven’t gone to Warm Up at P.S. 1 or the Pool Party at McCarren Pool, you only have two weekends left to do it. Then it will be MONTHS before you’ll get to slide around a mound of sweaty hipsters in American Apparel bikini tops and giant sunglasses! You don’t want to be one of those losers who goes […]

Apparently, it’s Pet Fashion Week.
I got a call to this effect at around 5 PM on Saturday, just as I was about to go into a yoga class. Leslie Padgett, editor-in-chief of The New York Dog Magazine, to which I am a regular contributor of dog-themed comics, left me this voicemail:
“Hey Julie, it’s Les…just wanted to let you know that I have extra tickets to this black tie dog fashion show…it’s an event for […]
