Forgive me, I’m feeling a little nauseated thinking about a new trend in tattoo artistry that inks the … anus. PHOTO: (c) Photodisc You will not believe this: A woman in Florida reportedly got a second anal tattoo recently (and let a camera crew film her in the act!). My first reaction? Gross. Second reaction?
I used to think that empire waist tops–you know, the type that cinch up just under your boobs and flow out from there–were the ultimate flatter-the-belly-and-body attire. Then I saw a photo of myself in one, and I’m second-guessing this age-old “slimming” look. Let’s get to the bottom of this fashion question… Erin, over at
It’s OK if you’re cringing a little right now. When I read a post over on Yahoo Shine about vaginal odors (oh that phrase just hits you the wrong way, doesn’t it?), I cringed a teeny bit too. But why? It’s a perfectly reasonable thing to discuss among us gals, right? So let’s talk: Have
Have you heard about the Shake Weight? Apparently, this new arm-toning device for women is all the rage. After seeing the infomercial, I can see why: I never thought it was possible for an arm exercise to be so suggestive! The 2.5 lb weight promises “strong, sexy, sculpted arms and shoulders” in just six minutes

So, a new app called Labella is offering to check up on your vag for you, just to make sure everything’s running smoothly. What exactly does this app do? According to a conference paper
Are you self conscious about your hands or feet? NBC news took a look at an odd topic: Megan Fox’s unusual thumbs, which apparently look like big toes. The unusual trait is actually pretty common, and a reminder that beautiful, creative people have odd-looking digits–and that’s OK! She’s newly married and landing major film roles,
Supermodel Kate Moss is making headlines for some super inappropriate comments recently. Here’s the thing she said that’s firing a lot of people up… Kate Moss recently told Women’s Wear Daily that she lived by the slogan, “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” and now eating disorder groups are blasting her for the comments,
Doutzen Kroes is one of the hardest working models in the biz—not only on the runway, but in the gym, where she mixes ballet and boxing to keep herself super-fit. But to do her own stunts for her role as horseback-riding Amazon Venelia in this summer’s mega-smash Wonder Woman, she had to undergo a totally
I was 17 when a psychiatrist first prescribed me Prozac for anxiety. I’d been struggling with an eating disorder for two years and wasn’t making much progress. After seven more months without any improvement, I ended up at a residential center for eating disorder treatment, where another psychiatrist upped my dosage. That’s when I felt
When you’re sick, you’re probably not thinking about your vagina. But a surprisingly varied assortment of health issues can show up in there, from stress to dehydration to the common cold, the flu, or a fever. But how your vagina is affected depends on your body, what you’ve come down with, and what meds you’re
Back in December, Grey’s Anatomy star Sara Ramirez shared some of her best life and love lessons with us. Now it’s January, and we’re all knee-deep in New Year’s resolutions to lose weight. As the owner of a healthy (not size zero!) body, Ramirez inspires us to find the balance between looking good and being
PHOTO: 2008 Getty Images Innie or outie? We all have belly buttons. It’s the way we were fed in utero by our mothers, of course. So how in the world does Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova not have one? Yep, the fashion production peeps (Tracey, what are these people called?) reportedly have to airbrush a faux
The statistics are sobering: In South Africa, women are raped every 26 seconds, which means in the time it takes you to read this post, 3-5 women have been raped and possibly infected with HIV in the process. How to stop the horrible cycle of violence? One doctor believes she has a solution. It’s called
