What's Hot, What's Not in Love & Sex



Break-ups: When another one bites the dust
Like the songs says, "breaking up is hard to do," but that doesn't mean it isn't often necessary. There's no sense in wasting one minute of your youth (or what's left of it) on an undeserving guy.

In the market for love? Finding your love match
Whether you admit it or not, dating is a game; even a sport to some. Some love it, some hate it, while some just go through the motions to keep up with the social norm. Like any other game, it's hard to succeed at it if you don't take the time to learn the rules and understand the game. Still clueless?

Catch the vibe: Sex toys go couture
"Prime-time sexual lubricant commercials" says it all for '08. Those KY Yours+Mine lube ads featuring randy couples trying to fit sex into their daily lives while viewers at home were eating dinner made a solid statement: Sex toys are coming out of the closet in a big way. Sex toys are shedding their porn-y image in favor of high-end design, couple's fun, and precision pleasure. The bottom line? Your goody drawer just took a page from Couture 101. Like Coco Chanel once said, "Innovation! One cannot be forever innovating. I want to create classics."

How funny and true. Alison you should really check out fidji shoes. I recently found these in a little California boutique (have not seen them since except online). Every time I wear them women stop me to ask about them. They are so adorable and best of all they are comfy too. Very soft leathers which I love. I don't know how you would describe them. They remind a little of sort of retro looking but very fresh at the same time, you know? It's been a while since I've seen a new product out there that really blew my socks off but this one will do it. Also, I'm noticing your site isn't featuring as many great and cool and unique tips for fashion stuff out there. Are you only doing ads now?
