Faking It Episode 103 Recap: The Most Eligible Lesbian On Campus

Welcome to the third recap of the second season of Faking It, a politically progressive dance film from the same network that brought you A Double Shot Of Love With The Ikki Twins.

Raven Doesn’t Want to be Labeled “Gay” or “African-American;” Most of Us Don’t Get the Choice

Last weekend, Raven-Symoné told Oprah in an interview for Where Are They Now? that she doesn’t want to be labeled “gay” or “African-American” and even called herself a “colorless” person.

Sheridan Le Fanu novella, and that it’s about Laura Hollis whose roommate goes missing during their first semester at Sillas University. All you really need to know is people are a-talkingabout this very gay show…

Stevie Nicks and Haim Ring Like a Bell Through the Night in This “Rhiannon” Redux

Carmen’s Team Pick:
Haim and Stevie Nicks recently spent some time kicking it together in Los Angeles, which sounds like an average, every day celebrity happening to the world but sounds to me like something I’ve been waiting for my entire life. Or at least the past two years.
The four came together for a piece in T, the New York Times magazine, in which they interviewed each other and shot the…

Top Five Gillian Anderson-Inspired Halloween Costumes

I can’t say that you’ve definitely ever had a crush on Gillian Anderson — I mean it’s possible you haven’t — but probably you haven’t been able to ignore the cultural impact that she and/or her characters have had.

As the season of wearing costumes recreationally approaches, you may be interested in leveraging…

You Could Harness Your Own Power with the Emerging Women Livestream

Carmen’s Team Pick:
I have a few confessions to make. One is that I call Danielle LaPorte “my self-help guru” behind her back just because I keep The Desire Map next to my bed at night and read her emails every morning before work. The other is that I’m kind of a sucker for conferences and I’ll do anything in the name of self-improvement. Both of these things led me to discover Emerging Women Live

Also.Also.Also: The Blood Moon Would Never Eyefuck You and Other Stories We Missed

DID YOU SEE THE BLOOD MOON?? I didn’t because I was sound asleep, probably having that dream where all the spiders I’ve ever killed come back to life and are 30 times larger than normal and I can’t scream out loud and my feet are tied up with string!
