title pic When Everyone Else Lowers Prices, Chanel Raises Them

Racked NY is reporting that prices for Chanel bags and shoes have officially gone up between 20% and 30%. According to the post, that means that the bag you were planning on casually purchasing for $2600 is now going to cost $3400, and the shoes you wanted went from $585 to $685 or even $895 (feel free to do the math on other items).

title pic The Best Recap of ‘The View’ Ever

There was a time, long ago, when I actually liked “The View.” It was around the time that the show aired, and it was kind of a new concept — a show hosted entirely by women, with the premise of airing women’s points of views on the pressing issues of the day. Well, that lasted for about a second, and then — as loathe as I am to say this, because my inner feminist rails against the phrase — the show deteriorated rapidly into a bunch of clucking hens, and since then, it’s become impossible to watch. No one ever gets to complete a sentence, everyone interrupts each other, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a goddamn moron

title pic 5 Things Not to Do At a Crime Scene

Earlier today, Gothamist posted a YouTube video in which a drunk-ish woman in Brooklyn leaves a bar, crosses into the scene of a murder, then says something loudly into her phone that could easily be construed as racist. Meanwhile, you can hear the two amateur filmmakers talking shit about her and what she said (because two guys filming some chick without her consent are people who should definitely be judging other people’s actions). Both the filmer and the filmee have laid out some good basics for us about bad behavior at a crime scene — being racist (maybe), filming people without their knowledge, and wandering into the scene in the first place.

title pic Lady Gaga Thinks Her Pu@*y Leaks Creativity

In the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair , Lady Gaga reveals her curious fears about the power of her pussy: “Lady Gaga tells Vanity Fair contributing editor Lisa Robinson that she tries to avoid having sex because she is afraid of depleting her creative energy—’I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they’re going to take my creativity from me through my vagina.’” It’s an interesting thought, your creativity — or anything intangible, really — leaking it’s way out of your body through your vagina. But my question is, what happens when other, more necessary items find their way into her honey pot? When she takes out a tampon, does she then flush her creativity down the toilet

title pic Is There a Difference Between the "After-Sex" Pill and the "Morning-After" Pill?

The New York Times today reports that the FDA may be gearing up to approve a pill that can be taken “after sex” to prevent pregnancy. Ella, the new pill’s name (reassuring, because it might be one of your girlfriends, I guess?) can be taken up to five days after unprotected sex. According to the Times, the main difference between ella and Plan B — which also works for up to five days — is that while Plan B gets less effective the longer you wait to take it, Ella is just as effective on Day 5 as it is on Day 1

I am a frequent wearer of everything in my husband’s closet, from his t-shirts to his blazers to yes, even his underthings (very cozy – and sorta oddly sexy – sleepwear).

How wealthy you are doesn’t have all that much to do with what’s in your bank account. It also has to do with where you’re reading this from right now, and whether it’s possible for you to get “in trouble” for reading TheGloss during “work hours.” It has a lot to do with how much of your time you have to yourself.
