Thank god there’s a new Bruno Mars song on the airwaves, because the last one was getting a little (cripplingly) old. Sorry, Mars.
This is more in line with what we’re talking about these days. You’re a treasure.

Song of The Day: Chick Habit
Song Of The Day: Chick Habit, by April March
We heard this beat in a dive bar in Silver Lake. A fun, retro sound with poignant anti-womanizing lyrics. Perfection.

Anagram Revenge
About 8 years ago, I was dating a guy I was way too good for, but my self esteem was so low that I didn’t see it that way. I would have done pretty much anything for this guy, even though he didn’t deserve it. Even after he revealed he had two children (by two different mothers), that wasn’t a show stopper for me. I was so naive and full-hearted that I brushed away any evidence that he was a) an asshole or b) cheating on me. Of course, he was, both of those things. When reality first began to dawn on me I was crushed, heartbroken. I guess I must have gone through an angry phase too, although I don’t really remember feeling angry when I did this next thing; however it was pretty spiteful so I have to assume it was motivated in part by anger.
He wanted some things back that he had left at my place… Continue reading

The Perks of Being Wallet Guy
It was a lovely winter evening in Southern California and a group of us girls were out at one of the trendiest spots in Santa Monica. The beautiful people were out in full force. We stumbled into the game room (pool, checkers, backgammon) and challenged each other to a checkers match.
We had a few cocktails by this point, so failed to notice the abandoned wallet just next to the table until one of our friends asked us if it was ours. It wasn’t. We are not a shy bunch, so we dove right in…
-Tattered Louis Vuitton wallet
-Great license pic, 6’3, blue eyed man, donor! Swoon. (who looks better in their pic than in person, right? wrong, we learned!)
-Potentially winning lotto tickets, check. (The guy has dreams!)
-$6 cash money
-Back of a receipt – perfect!
We were feeling bold and giddy, so we decided to leave our phone numbers (no names, just numbers and a few emoticons) before turning the wallet into the bar.
The next morning rolls around and we get a group text from “wallet guy” thanking us for being such “honest people” and asking us to a drink to repay us. Score!
We decided on a low-key beer garden for the following Friday at 9… Continue reading

Daily Show: Women in Military Disrupt “Brohesion”
Once again “The Daily Show” has hit the nail on the head regarding political ridiculousness and general absurdity. Correspondent Samantha Bee reported this week on the announcement that women will finally be allowed to serve in combat zones in the US Military. In typical “Daily Show” snarkiness she questioned why this was ever an issue in the first place, interviewing people on both sides of the argument. The following is her fabulously hysterical report entitled, “Women’s War Daily: Military Brohesion”. Enjoy.

Have You Been Catfished?
According to Urban Dictionary, a catfish is someone “who pretends to be someone they’re not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances.”
To understand the full meaning of the term, I recommend watching the (incredible) documentary “Catfish” by filmmaker Nev Schulman. His documentary serves as the inspiration for MTV’s “Catfish: The TV Show” which also stars Schulman.
“Catfish: The TV Show” had been mentioned to me by some female friends in grad school and I was immediately interested. As soon as I had the chance, I sat down and powered through two episodes. Despite knowing the premise and having been an early fan of the documentary, I too was bowled over by the show. It’s even more poignant and timely than I anticipated.
Have I been catfished? No, not to the extent that the characters on the show have been by any stretch of the imagination. Have I been courted by people who I later found out misrepresented themselves on social media? Absolutely.
Isn’t part of modern-day dating sleuthing to find out whether the persona projected by the person you’re crushing on is true? Feels like it sometimes.
To read more about “Catfish” the documentary, Schulman and “Catfish: The TV Show”, click here. Watch the trailer for “Catfish: The TV Show” below.
If you feel that you have been deceived by a catfish and would like to be considered for the show, check out this casting call and send in your info. The team is currently casting for season two now.
And above all else, WATCH OUT FOR CATFISH!!

Seven Single Jewish Men Seek Seven Single Ladies
Thanks to the reader in DC who sent in this Craigslist ad. This is one of the funniest/weirdest attempts to pick up ladies we’ve seen in awhile. (Click on the image to read this ad in all its strange glory).
This is a joke, right?
L’chayim!
