I could write another post on disgraced Republican Senator John Ensign, but it seems more efficient to let the Gleaner do it.…
I’ve been thinking about Broadsheet’s Plus-size state of the union post all day. The gist of the post is that at the same time that our society is starting to at least acknowledge non-stick-figure models of feminine beauty the recession is causing some retailers — such as Old Navy and Anne Taylor — to do…
Sorry for lack of personalization of posts. Still under the weather but don’t want to let this go unmentioned: PLANNED PARENTHOOD & MTV PRESENT the WORLD PREMIERE of PEDRO on APRIL 1 WHAT: Pedro: The Movie – MTV’s World Premiere In 1994, Pedro Zamora captured the hearts of millions as the first-ever openly gay,…
