AAAAAAAND WE’RE BACK… again

Hi nuggets, we know you missed us. We apologize: it’s been a rough semester and we’ve let you down. But Brooke and Lexi hate the cold, and its hard to blog in hibernation. You know what they say, “Sun’s out bloggers out.” So don’t fret – we’re here and here to stay (we think). After a wonderful spring break, full of rest, relaxation and roaming the globe, we’re ready to go. We hope you had equally delicious spring breaks, and now its time to pick up that old addiction - check TMYK all day every day for your daily dose of fashion tips, social do’s and don’t’s, a guaranteed LOL and to probably see your own cute face on our lime green pages. Didn’t your mama teach you that checking TMYK every day keeps bad habits away?

College is great - the friends, the fun, and the social life all make it the most memorable, or arguably unmemorable, four years of our lives. We all know that feeling when you roll over on Saturday or Sunday morning (or Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday for some schools) and are smacked in the face with a throbbing headache, a sandpaper mouth, the constant urge to puke, and the strong taste of vodka cranberry eating away at your tastebuds. Well we have some FABULOUS news for all your party people out there: BLOWFISH is here. Blowfish is the name of the new FDA-approved hangover pill. No, it is not to be confused with the puffy fish under the sea, but rather an over-the-counter medication that can remedy any hangover headache. That’s right, THE INFAMOUS HANGOVER HAS BEEN CURED - packed with 1,000 mg of aspirin and 120 mg of caffeine, Blowfish guarantees to have you feeling fresh and looking somewhat normal in no time (Disclaimer: Will not make the Walk of Shame more comfortable, will not remove vomit from hair or clothes, and will not remove stench of cigarettes from body). It’s selling in packs of 12 pills for about $12 - not bad (gluten free confirmation coming soon)! If only Blowfish was around back when Alan and his wolfpack raged through Las Vegas. Too bad there’s no reverse-Roofie pill so we could all find out what actually happened that night… For more on the story click here!
PS: Now you can enjoy New Year’s Day after an “Outrageous” by Britney Spears New Year’s Eve.

Top Baby Names of 2011 revealed. Brooke and Lexi (AKA Alexis) aren’t on there. Tell me you’re kidding.
Is it just us or have names become overly influenced by Hollywood? Aiden - that guy Carrie Bradshaw was engaged to for a hot sec. Sophia - Princess Sophia, AKA Matthew McConaughey’s nickname in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” Jackson - King of Pop. Emma - Stone, the up and coming redhead actress who likes the help. Mason - MWA Kourtney and Scott’s little angel child. Ava - Maya Rudolph’s character on “Up All Night” - ironically, she hates children on the show. Liam - the guy with the airbrushed abs on the NEW “90210” who clearly does not have a model’s body. Jacob - Bella’s second love interest who can morph into a werewolf. Chloe - a fabulous French designer, for you cultured parents out there. Noah - Ryan Gosling’s heart throb character in “The Notebook.”
Is this real life?
At least Apple, Sunday Rose, and Zuma Nesta Rock weren’t on there. Check out this list of outrageous celebrity baby names here.
Be thankful for names like Jennifer, Jonathan, and Alex (boy/girl). Who thought we’d miss the 90’s?

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2011
Last night was the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, a time when the world’s most stunning supermodels strut – let’s be perfectly clear, in bras and underwear – down a sparkling runway while famous pop stars and rappers, including Kanye West, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, and Adam Levine, all perform live. You didn’t see it? Tell me you’re kidding.
The bright colors, the sequins, and all of the lights, all of the lights made every viewer envious regardless of gender. There were many different themes for the catwalk last night; the bodacious Angels dressed as superheroes, ballet dancers, “passion,” underwater creatures, “Club Pink,” and many more.
Though the “morning-after” buzz on the street is that the new Angels inducted into the Victoria’s Secret Angel club are all too skinny, everyone still drooled over their toned thighs and bronzed booties (and boobies).  They might be hungry, but they looked GREAT. Word to the wise: keep eating.

Looks like Baby Mason’s going to have a friend!  Kourtney Kardashian announced today that she is pregnant with a second baby, this one also belonging boyfriend of over five years Scott Disick.  
“Scott and I are so excited to announce that we are expecting our second child and are thrilled to be expanding the love in our family,” Kourtney told E! News earlier this morning. The star tweeted, “Yes, I’m pregnant!!!!!!!!!! http://bit.ly/sGdCxb.”  The couple couldn’t contain their joy, “I’m nine weeks along,” Kourtney said, “You’re supposed to wait 12 weeks to tell people, but I feel confident.”  Of course she does; she and Scott produce the tannest, cutest, most diva babies ever. 
Khloe and Kim both showed their support.  Kim is “absolutely thrilled” and Khloe blogged, “We are all so overjoyed by this wonderful news and are counting down the minutes until we get to meet the newest member of our family.” We can’t wait to meet the newest addition to our favorite celeb clan either!  Good luck, Kourt!

No Shave November

November is a time when our fratty fellows attempt to prove their manhood by hiding their razors and growing their facial hair like Tom Hanks circa “Castaway.” For some reason, we’re still unsure why, guys like to display their masculinity and show off their testosterone levels by competing for the longest, thickest, darkest facial hair all throughout the month. As an ode to the end of the hairy time of the year, we’ve collected some fabulously furry photos of some shaggy guys who we think killed it during No Shave November. 

PS: Girls, don’t worry - only one day left in the month. We’ll have our men looking clean, fresh and fierce again in no time. For now, just enjoy these pics!


Ian Steckler showed off his borderline-Mexican moustache this month. Shaping his upper-lip-strip to match his Luigi Halloween costume, this tall, dark and lanky AEPi sophomore nailed it. He shaved this off about a week later after it grew in extra thick, but way to commit to one of our favorite Italian cartoon character’s looks.

This artsy Boston native stayed true to himself by pairing his November facial art with his classic plaid shirt, khaki pants, and alternative attitude. Adam Ephraim grew out his facial locks and flashed a smile through the mess of his beard while still looking cute and chic. Adam also shaved away his mane, but none of us will forget his fitting facial hair this past month. 

 

Sam Shapiro is a Sigma Chi dreamboat who doesn’t joke around when it comes to his hair, especially those growing on his face. Sam flaunted his facial fuzz with a suit and a tie, along with a big smile. Unlike some of our other features, there’s a good chance you can still find Sam in the library or manning the register at Chill with his scruff fully intact.

Eric Chalifour was the perfect distraction today on the second floor of the library.  It’s the very, very end of November, so we know Eric’s clearly No Shave November’s biggest fan: he still hasn’t shaved! He’s working hard to represent Phi Delt well with his hair still growing in - wIll he be the last (cave)man standing? We’ll have to just wait and see. Regardless, with all that fuzz on his face he looks cute, cuddly, and ready for a cold winter! 

Even though his mustache looks somewhat sparse in his personal take on Blue Steel (also known as Magnum, Ferrari, or Le Tigre), we know Nick Fineman is capable of growing some serious shag. Though you’ll see him cruising around campus sans-mustache these days, he didn’t fail to make a statement with his facial hair when he debuted it and retired it at the Kappa Krush party two weeks ago. Thanks for keeping it klassy, Nick.


Jeremy Gibbs is a Sig Ep Senior who rocked his hearty hair at Three Kings pre-Thanksgiving break. Chances are he went home with that scruff and his mother made him shave it all off before entering the house.  Either way, Gibbs was a poster boy for No Shave November and wore it well as he paired his facial fur with a nice button down, a comfy zippy, and best of all: an adorable faux-hawk.  

Hi friends, family, and frenemies!

So we know we’ve been slackers lately, but can you blame us? We’ve been treating ourselves to turkey, manicures, and time at home so we haven’t really been blogging. You sit on your computer while with your family? Tell me you’re kidding. I know you’ve missed us, but don’t fret “little monsters,” we’re back and better than ever. After our tryptophan naps and movie marathons we’re well-rested and ready to deliver our blog blasts to brighten up your day. With reading week coming up and the pressures of finals on your back, keep your eyes open and your photos unblocked so we can deliver our articles to you as a quick study break. 

You know you love us.

XOXO,

Gossip Girls

Tell me you’re kidding. Obviously it’s Brooke and Lexi.
