Let's face it: we were probably not all sunshine and butterflies with our mothers growing up. And if we thought we were pleasant teens, we know the behavior wasn't for long. Our moms are strong, patient, and giving. This Mother's Day we want to give a shout out to 8 celebrity moms that rock-- because if raising an ordinary kid isn't enough then raising one in the limelight must be even tougher. Plus, these women are not only rocking the Mom role, but aren't giving up their own careers. -Meryl Lumba 1. Adele So Adele has only been a mom for a... CONTINUE READING 3
Today's Work It, Girl Guilty Pleasure
ALL STORIES
Always Sunny Aficionado: One of the reasons I love It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is how the sheer political incorrectness/ridiculousity brings light to otherwise serious issues. Plus, the self-centered “gang” and their band of unique acquaintances have an infinitely entertaining amount of quirks. I’m here every week to give you the scoop on what I think…and hear what you have... CONTINUE READING 4
What’s On Your TeuxDeux List?
I’m scatterbrained. I’m always looking for my sunglasses when they’re on my head, realizing that I left my phone on the kitchen counter, and forgetting to grab that one thing from the store that I’ve been meaning to get for days. It’s annoying, and making lists just doesn’t seem to help (I always lose them!). Thank goodness for TeuxDeux.com, the... CONTINUE READING 11
Halloween: Serious Double Standards
With Halloween just passed, I've been thinking a lot about double standards. From gender to ethnicity, Halloween is the perfect excuse to take a stand (or not!) against these standards and (attempt to) make a statement. Case in point: The majority of costumes available for women are the "sexy" version (read: for more!). Slutty tater... CONTINUE READING 12
Friendship Drama: Chick Fights
We’re thinking about all things beautiful this week, but while we’re on the subject of pretty makeup and the latest eyeshadow shades, we kinda can’t think about something that’s a little opposite and definitely ugly: friendship fights. Remember the Staffer who penned “?” She had a run-in with her ex-BFF and here’s how it went down. “Like most of America, I’m... CONTINUE READING 17
Monday Motivator: How Do You Take a Break?!
Happy November, Shecksters! After a Halloween weekend, we predict that this Monday will be a slow one (wah wah wah), and we don’t know about you, but we could desperately use a break…ASAP! Last week, Gina told us that when she needs to de-stress on a Monday (or any day), she plays solitaire. While we won’t appreciate getting blamed for playing... CONTINUE READING 21
Music Mondays: What’s Shakin’ With Shakira?!
Who: Shakira (featuring Dizzee Rascal) What: “Loca” Where: See her "Loca" video on Vevo.com Why: We all know that Shak’s “hips don’t lie” and we’re happy to report that she's back after a brief hiatus, and her hips are as honest as ever! The video for “Loca” is set beach-side with Shakira clad in a bikini (would we expect anything different?!), and the... CONTINUE READING 8
Halloween Survey from Shecky’s!
The big day is here! Time to dress up like a fool, drink like no one knows who you are (for once, this might be true) and pray that the embarrassing photos don't make their way to Facebook (this is probably inevitable). We at Shecky’s wanted to wish you a Happy Halloween and see what you’re up to on this... CONTINUE READING 12
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The Halloween Brown Outs
Always Sunny Aficionado: One of the reasons I love It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is how the sheer political incorrectness/ridiculousity brings light to otherwise serious issues.

Pandora: Musical Paradise
It seems that my boyfriend and I are forever fighting over "our" iPod, and while I may humor his view that it is a 'shared' appliance, the truth is that it's mine! I am not in the slighest bit ashamed of my musical tastes (I frequently whine to Mumford & Sons and screech out to Gaga) but seeing as my boyfriend... CONTINUE READING 9
Glee: The Rocky Horror Glee Show
GUSHING GLEEK: I am proud to admit that I am a gushing gleek. It’s a feel-good show with unreal talent and seriously underrated one-liners…and I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been counting down to this season’s premiere. Season two is in session and I’m here all semester season long to give you my opinions and picks. SEASON 2, EPISODE 5:... CONTINUE READING 14
