I know a girl who, upon getting married, hyphenated her name- and her husband did too. Met right in the middle, and became Mr. and Mrs. Hisname-Hername.
Also, my brother and I have hyphenated last names (because our mom kept her name when she and my dad got married), and when he got married, nobody's names got…

My brother and his now-wife went as Ninja and Yo-Landi one year, and while she wigged it, he shaved the relevant parts of his head and gave himself that terrifying little mustache. DEDICATION.
(This is the same man who cut off mostly all of his then-shoulder-length hair AND shaved a "W" into the back of it to go as…

Is it wrong that "candy and old-timey prostitutes" actually kinda sounds like everything I'd want in a perfume? Maybe this is why I shouldn't wear perfume...

He looks like an incredibly bored Bobby Moynihan!

Age: 21

Location: underneath the dining room table at my older brother's house.

Partner: friend of my older brother's/frontman of a mediocre rock'n'roll band.

How it went down: 4am, after a party. Pretty drunk. Had to be very quiet, as the house was full of passed-out partygoers. The carpet was exceedingly scratchy and de…

Once upon a time, in college, I had such a crush on this guy that I had met at orientation. Totally cute, really sweet, funny, all that jazz. I kept seeing him around, but never actually interacted with him. Finally, I ran into him in the hallway and decided to re-introduce myself. I went to shake his hand, and he had…

Janelle Monae wins Best Everything. Forever. Always. The end. Girl is a FOOOOOX.

Part of me still has great love for my home state...
But egads it is so completely fucked right now.

I think this may be my favorite movie, full stop. So many feelings, every damn time. And the boars. THE BOARS.

The bottle is the best part! I have an empty one decorating my apartment. My brother once got one of the extra-large ones, polished off the vodka, and kept a fish in the skull for a while.

At first I was like, "YEAH! Naked archery!" and then I remembered the wicked bruise I once gave myself with a compound bow (damn hyperextending elbows!), and the fact that I have DD breasts that tend to get in the way of everything... and got a little shudder.

NOW'S YOUR CHANCE! Seize the day!
I got mine last year RIGHT before the election, at the height of the Planned Parenthood battles (though they're still going on, because the GOP are a bunch of fucknuggets), so I joked that I was "Republican-proofing" my uterus. Figured I'd name this li'l stalwart ladyguardian after…

My Mirena (her name is Cecile) is high-fiving aaaaaall the other IUDs in the house. Baby-proofed, mu'fuckaaaaas!

Yep! I actually did this exact cutout to an old t-shirt once. Took maybe 15 minutes. And somehow it's survived a bunch of jaunts in the washing machine...

Kate McKinnon is the BEST. Few things will ever make me laugh harder than "My milkshake brings all the boys to the HAUNTED MINE."

My hairstylist is a twentysomething straight dude with a beard and a bunch of tattoos and basically we spend all of my appointments talking about Game of Thrones, American Horror Story, and food. I have a pixie cut, so I have to get haircuts every 6 weeks- I cannot tell you how much more pleasant it is because of him.

I love Michael Shannon so much. Saw him onstage here in Chicago a few years ago, and I'll never forget it. He's a fucking FORCE.
He's also a positively massive human being. The show was in a very small storefront theatre, and he could cross the entire stage in two strides.

I definitely recommend it! Especially if you're active and traveling all over (which sounds awesome, BTW), and can get it fully covered by your insurance. Another good thing? If for some reason you don't end up liking it, your gyno can seriously just pop it right back out with no hassle.

I, a childless 22-year-old, got my Mirena in November, and I'll say the following:

1. Insertion is certainly not the GREATEST feeling in the world, but it was nowhere near as painful as I expected. My gyno got her stuff all prepped, then told me to cough. I coughed, she popped it in, like 2.5 seconds of wincing cervix…

I love Gwendoline so much I can barely stand it. Maybe it's just because I am one, but whenever I see tall ladies just OWNING IT, I get a little twitterpated. Also she's hella foxy and amazingly talented. And I can totally appreciate her feelings about the haircut- I went through a similar evolution of thought when I…
