Let's Break Down Tan Mom's New Music Video Because That Sounds Pretty Fun

Jackie Mancini — Mon, 20 May 2013 18:00:53 +0000

When her song first leaked, I’ll admit to feeling like some of the subtelties in phrasing and colloquialisms of ‘It’s Tan Mom’ might have been going over my head. This new video leaves little room for subtlety. Scared to watch? We know, us too. Let’s break down the finer points together, shall we? Hold me. YouTube [...]

The Museum of Sex in NY — Go Here

Jackie Mancini — Fri, 17 May 2013 20:00:58 +0000

Located on Fifth Avenue in lower Manhattan, the Museum of Sex is uh, pretty much what it sounds like. Believe it or not, New York was not the first place to have a sex museum. Way back in mid-18th century Italy, the Museo Borbonico was built near Naples in order to house (read: hide) sexually [...]

Good Drama Vs. Bad Drama — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:00:16 +0000

The word “drama” gets a bad rap. Lots of single people will say that they “hate drama” and want to steer clear of it; I make every effort to steer clear of those people. While I’m certainly not a fan of unpleasant life events, there are some kinds of drama that are pretty great. I’ve [...]

Say Lou Lou — Celeb Crush

Jackie Mancini — Mon, 13 May 2013 17:00:54 +0000

Twins who grew up between Stockhold, Sweden, and Australia, Elektra and Miranda Kilbey make up Say Lou Lou, a band who's sound has been described well as "the delicate sound of thunderous yearning." These girls are a little bummed out, but they sure are talented. Also, they look like Charlie's Angels.

Bear Vs. Monkey Bike Race Ends as You Might Expect

Jackie Mancini — Thu, 09 May 2013 15:00:55 +0000

Disney lied to us; bears and monkeys are not friends. Trigger warning/spoiler alert: This video ends very poorly for the monkey, if you get our meaning. I have a couple of questions, after watching this video: 1)How would someone go about getting tickets to a bear vs. monkey bicycle race? Asking for a friend. 2)Why do [...]

Say Hello To Our New Little Friend — 'Scarface' Impersonator Had 6-Hour Standoff With Cops

Jackie Mancini — Thu, 09 May 2013 14:00:35 +0000

Sometimes crazy people have standoffs with cops; it happens. Crazy people in L.A., though? They always want to “do it in character.” At around 10pm on Tuesday evening, cops were called to a Hollywood apartment complex, where they found “Tony Montana” (complete with pimp suit) up on the balcony, waving a machete around and screamin’ [...]

How to Not Hate Your Birthday — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 08 May 2013 21:00:38 +0000

Even my dog Rabbit seems to have caught my “birthday blues” this week, and he doesn’t even have a birthday; he’s a rescue dog. After 21, birthdays kinda stopped being fun for me. There was a brief moment of excitement at 25, when I could rent a car. I’ve only done it once though, in [...]

The Russian & Turkish Baths in NYC — Go Here

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 08 May 2013 17:00:47 +0000

Located between First Avenue and Avenue A, The Baths have been an institution in lower Manhattan since 1892. It’s a place that every man who lives in or visits New York should put on the top of his priority list. It’s old, it’s falling apart a little, and it’s filled with old men. Are you sold [...]

10 Mothers Only a Son Could Love

Jackie Mancini — Tue, 07 May 2013 18:00:00 +0000

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we thought it might be a good time for some reflection. Our moms can be pretty annoying sometimes, what with all the calling and emailing, but it’s only because they care. Unfortunately, not all moms have a warm, motherly heart; here’s our list of 10 Mothers Only a [...]

Grand Canyon West is privately owned by the Hualapai tribe, and it was they who conceived of and now operate the Grand Canyon Skywalk -- A transparent, horseshoe-shaped cantilever bridge in Arizona that allows you to get a feel for just how gigantic the Grand Canyon truly is, by scaring the life out of you.

What's Your Spring Anthem? — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Thu, 02 May 2013 20:00:25 +0000

As kids, a lot of times we identify socially by liking a certain genre of music. As a teen in the late 90s, I was a punk. Nowadays, I don't know what I am, and I like it a lot better that way. Even if I don't identify with music in the same way, though, it is still one of the most powerful forces in my life.

Fake House That Might Be The Gate to Hell in Brooklyn — Go Here

Jackie Mancini — Thu, 02 May 2013 17:00:23 +0000

There are usually always a few people who know the secrets of a big city. People pass on the information because if they didn’t, they might be lost forever. If you are a writer, sometimes you put them in your book; that’s when things get awesome. In the 2007 novel ‘Foucalt’s Pendulum’ by Umberto Eco, [...]

Good Humor, Bad Attitude — 'Sno Cone Joe' Arrested For Harassing 'Mr. Ding-a-Ling'

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 01 May 2013 21:00:58 +0000

Before we get into this story, can we address the fact that there is an actual Ice Cream company called ‘Mr. Ding-A-Ling?’ Did everyone know this but us? Not only that, but they have actual rivals in their town of Gloversville, NY: a competitor named ‘Sno Cone Joe.’ The rivalry recently became so intense that Josh [...]

'Nothing But Trouble' — Different Than We Remember

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 01 May 2013 15:00:07 +0000

One of these people is Dan Aykroyd. 1992 was a weird time, guys. I’m glad we all got out okay. When I was a kid, there were several years in which I thought I had imagined this movie. This is partially because the first dozen or so times that I caught glimpses of it were [...]

Are Bane Boxer Briefs Cooler Than Batman Briefs? Probably, Yeah

Jackie Mancini — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:00:45 +0000

As resident babe, allow me to first give you a little inside scoop on men’s underwear: Most times, “funny” novelty drawers are not a good strategy. Accidental first-date sex excluded (I forgive you, dude from a year ago who was wearing happy face boxers) you can usually tell a lot about a man by the [...]

Andre 3000 — Steal His Style

Jackie Mancini — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:00:34 +0000

Andre has easy, comfortable style down to a science. If you’re feeling a little sloppy in that band t-shirt and cargos, it’s because…you are. Let’s talk. Andre’s formular is pretty easy to figure out: He’s got a classic, sporty, beach thing going on, with a couple of items that contrast that style, to confuse the [...]

The Casual Sexual Relationship is Not a Myth, But You Might Be Doing it Wrong — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:00:48 +0000

Jackie Mancini is in a relationship with spring, and it is not complicated. This is a pretty weird time for me, guys. I’ve been back in New York for just about a year now, and with my 30th birthday under a month away, I’m finally starting to figure out what I want. I’ve got a job [...]
