The Sin City Siren’s ‘Mindful Giving’ List (2009 Edition)
Welcome to the annual charitable giving list for 2009! These are just some of the ways you can give back while indulging in the mass-consumer, gift orgy of the December holidays.

It’s like bloody knuckles on her face all over again
So now there’s a leaked photo of Rihanna, which, if real, shows that she was the victim of some kind of assault. This makes me sick. I agree with Broadsheet that to even link to it is wrong. All I want to say is that this is disturbing to me on many levels, not the…

A holiday shopping list with purpose
