Sometimes It’s Necessary: Pay $500 for Your Own Professional Cuddler

Everyone needs a hug sometimes!

What will they think up next? With a bit of the east coast cynicism I’ve ever-so-slightly retained since moving to sunny Southern California, I had to at first appear to be bug-eyed with shock upon hearing that one woman earns up to $500 per day just by CUDDLING with her clients.

Is it smart to go galavanting around the world when you’ve just tied the knot?

Fourth months in to her marriage, Maggie Downs was having trouble connecting with her husband. No, they weren’t having emotional problems so soon, but they were literally having trouble communicating: the connection from her hostel in Cape Town was horrific.

You Can Get Lucky in the Sky Thanks to Richard Branson

God, do I love Richard Branson. Not only do I think his airlines are the best on the market — Virgin Atlantic and Virgin America for those who happen to be living under a rock — but the man is actually instrumentally about to help single flyers on his flights (and no, I do not mean he wants you to join the mile high club). more…

I don’t freakin’ think so!

Pretend for a second that you’re a New Yorker waiting for the 6 train and you happen to lock eyes with a handsome stranger across the crowded platform.  You feel a jolt down to your pinky toe (and maybe elsewhere too). But then the moment passes. He gets on the train and you’re still stuck waiting with a sinking feeling in your stomach, wondering what might have been. more…

Tiger Woods + Lindsey Vonn Confirm They’re Dating — Via Facebook

Oh for cripes sake…I can barely believe this.

For anyone who’s ever felt like a dumbass for dating the guy you knew was going to break your heart, just thank God you’re not as much of a sucker as Lindsey Vonn. Why else would the respectable, stunning Olympian not only date renowned philander Tiger Woods (that’s a whole ‘nother issue for a whole ‘nother day) but then admit it to the whole word on Facebook, as if she was proud of it? Some girls just never learn. more…
