The Marilyn Monroe diet: she stayed in shape with raw eggs, meat, & ice cream According to an article credited to the bombshell actress in a 1952 issue of Pageant magazine, the Marilyn Monroe diet was very, very weird.
[Editor’s note: June 1st would have been Marilyn Monroe’s 95th birthday. Here’s a recently unearthed photo spread from the September 1952 issue of Pageant magazine that details Marilyn’s diet and exercise routine.] How I Stay in Shape Frankly, I’ve never considered my own figure so exceptional; until quite recently, I seldom gave it any thought at all. My biggest single concern used to be getting enough to eat. Now I have to worry about eating too much. I never used to bother with exercises. Now I spend at least 10 minutes each morning working out with small weights. I have evolved my own exercises, for the muscles I wish to…

22 of the best hookup songs ever, ranked by screwability Songs make or break a hookup. Here's a ranking of hookup songs + the clothes and position you need for each hookup mood.
I straight up love hooking up to music. Honestly, I blame my weakness on dramatic make out scenes set to vaguely synth music in John Hughes movies. I just want every moment that I’m getting busy to be perfect for a romantic movie scene. Hey, in my defense, I spent 23 years of my life with subzero action; I had a lot of time to use my imagination. Plus, blasting music allows me to avoid the awkwardness of hearing roommates watch Netflix during oral. As someone with music interests that range from Pitchfork approved indie rock, to empowering female-driven hip hop to bad pop-punk, my ideal hookup songs might not…

Annie Jones and herstory’s many badass bearded beauties Freak show performers were the original American celebrities, and bearded ladies occupied a high place in the freak hierarchy.
In the late nineteenth century, one of the most famous women in America was Annie Jones, known as a small child as The Infant Esau. When she died at the age of thirty-seven, she had never known any life but that of a freak show performer. P.T. Barnum had begun displaying her in his American museum when she was just twelve months old. Her talent? She had a beard. In the heyday of the American freak show, the hair that sprouted on the faces of a lucky few women (and sometimes children) gave them a chance at fame. Freak show performers were the original American celebrities, and bearded ladies occupied…

How lighthouse keeper Ida Lewis pioneered early female badassery The heroine was called the “Bravest Woman in America.” President Ulysses S. Grant awarded her the Gold Lifesaving Medal.
Long before there was Wonder Woman, or any other tights-clad Marvel hero for that matter, there lived a woman named Ida Lewis. Ida lived right beside the sea in Rhode Island, where she rose to fame for taking her role as a lighthouse keeper to another level entirely. From the age of just 12 years-old all the way up through her mid-60s, Ida became famous for rescuing tons of people who otherwise would have drowned at sea. As a result, she would become a woman known by many names. The Society of the American Cross of Honor called her “The Bravest Woman in America.” President Ulysses S. Grant awarded her…

Whether you’re the one who ended the relationship or the one who had to endure the whole “It’s-not-you-it’s-me/let’s-just-be-friends” thing, breakups are tough. Even breakups that are conducted in the most dignified way possible — as in, no tires have been slashed and no stuffed animals heads have been torn off and mailed to the other party — can seriously sting. Who wants to keep rehashing the awkward-at-best breakup conversation? Who wants to see the look of pity on your exes face, or, worse, have to feign one for the person you just dumped? If you hate confrontation of this sort, there’s a new relationship ending technique in town that you…

Are women and people of color being excluded from cryptocurrency? An examination of the needlessly complex process of obtaining cryptocurrency, and how the space is perfectly designed to keep out women and people of color.
You’ve heard of Bitcoin’s atmospheric rise from pennies to thousands of dollars. TV, radio, internet — it’s everywhere. And maybe you’ve had the thought that you might very well want to become one of these Bitcoin millionaires. Easy, right? Even the old folks are doing it. Just head on down to the corner shop, buy a few Bitcoins, stash them away and leave your descendants something grander than holiday trinkets and quaint cutlery. Not so. The process of obtaining Bitcoins is so labyrinthine and headache-inducing that what was proclaimed to be a democratizing system is actually one of the unfairest systems ever devised.

It Happened To Me: My abusive ex used his Xbox to steal all my money and I still talk to him Everything happens for a reason. Dealing with him has made me the resilient and accomplished person I am today.
There are many stories that illustrate just how dumb I used to be, but this one is the worst. I used to be with Douchebag on and off for about two years. He was always borrowing money off me, asking me to buy him stuff, insisting that I give him rides, etc. My close friends kept telling me that he was just using me and that I needed to stop seeing him completely, but I didn’t listen. He eventually became abusive, physically and emotionally, and somehow I still never clued in that this wasn’t normal. I guess hindsight is 20/20, but I don’t know how I never saw that he…
