  • This Firefighter Saved Her Life After a Tragic Car Accident. Now They're Getting Married

    On March 29, 2012, 18-year-old Stephanie Kaufman talked her big sister, Brandi, into going to get pizza with her and friend Savanah Pierce, also 18. The Pizza Hut was roughly five miles away from their mom's home in Houston, Missouri, but Brandi was hesitant. She worried the car wasn't safe - her mom had just bought it used, and Brandi had a bad feeling about it. Stephanie insisted on going and on driving, and Brandi sat in the back - one of the only reasons she survived the crash that killed both Stephanie and Savanah.

  • What Guys Say Vs. What They Really Mean

    I realize women assume there's subtext to our statements, or that we play mind games, but our mind game is not playing mind games. It's like Inception if there were no dreams at all and everything going on in the movie was happening at face value.

  • J. Crew Under Fire for New "XXXS" Sizing

    Following criticism over their new size 000, J. Crew have denied that it's embracing "vanity sizing" gone crazy. Equivalent to an XXXS in U.S. sizing (as Racked notes, that's apparently the equivalent of a 23-inch waistline) the new size is a real thing, "addressing the demand coming from Asia for smaller sizes than what we had carried," a J. Crew spokesperson told CNBC.

  • Fox News Invents Entirely New Demographic Called "Beyonce Voters"

    During his coverage of the Supreme Court's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Hobby Lobby decision, Fox News correspondent Jesse Watters invented a fun, new voting demographic: "Beyoncé voters." By "fun" and "new," I mean extremely offensive. Discussing Hillary Clinton's response to the decision, which allows employers to reject birth control coverage if it contradicts their religious views, Watters said Clinton "needs the single ladies vote" to win the presidential election in 2016. Lest you think that means "smart, empowered, independent women voters," read on and weep.

  • 15 Things Nobody Tells You About Relationships

    You can be in the first good relationship you've ever had, and half the time you want to cry or throw up because you're not used to being that open and vulnerable with a guy you're sleeping with - especially if you're used to playing the Who Cares Less game with flaky, commitment-phobic dicknuggets. Because chances are your biggest blow-up/failure of a relationship were with someone you considered "the perfect guy" for you. In a good relationship, it's OK to be the first person who says, "I love you." Terrifying? And friends in relationships who'd always counted on you to be "the single one" might have a surprisingly weird/negative reaction to your relationship.
