Best Gifts for Husbands, Boyfriends and Lovers We women often complain that our men aren't romantic. And then we buy them a tie and a wrench set for Christmas. If you want to light your man's romantic fire this holiday season, you need the right fuel. Here are romantic gifts for husbands, boyfriends and lovers. I've said this to men buying gifts for wives and girlfriends, and I'll repeat it to women buying gifts for husbands and boyfriends: do not buy gifts that represent work (appliances, tools). Do you want him to buy you a vacuum for Christmas? Also, do not buy your man a gift that you want him to use, but he will hate (aka a tie, tickets to the opera). This is a gift you would like. You have to buy him what he would like. Do you want him to give you season passes to the Possum Lodge Beer-a-thon? I thought not. The best way to shop for your guy is to get inside his head.

Sensual Gothic Victorian Pre-Raphaelite Ghost Halloween Costume Guide

2011-10-24T20:52:00.002-04:00

Gothic Victorian Pre-Raphaelite Ghost Halloween Costume DIY Guide Zombies are not a new invention. They've walked the pages of horror fiction for centuries. The undead have plagued generations of Devil's night, Samhain and Walpurgis revelers. Looking to recreate some of those vintage creeps of yore? Here's a DIY guide to make Gothic Revival Victorian costumes for women. Originally, "Gothic" didn't mean the same thing as the "Goth" styles (black hair, dark clothing, vampiric overtones) of today. Gothic referred to a high medieval architectural style. Modern Goths are a throwback to the Gothic Revival (mid 1700s to early 1900s). They are influenced by the Victorians' dark obsession with rigid morality, morbidity and sexual frustration. Pre-Raphaelites opposed this hypocrisy and focused on innocent sensuality. Read on...

2011-09-19T18:44:00.001-04:00

More Nude Photos for Vanessa Hudgens? Methinks the Lady Protest too Much Every time Vanessa Hudgens makes news it seems to be connected with nude photo leaks. In 2007, the underage Disney star took some photos of herself naked. In 2009 and 2011, more nude photos emerged. Sunbathing topless, Hudgens was caught by some giggling camera-wielding teenage boys.

Hudgens was soaking up some Hollywood sun in her uber-private backyard. The former High School Musical star, sunning herself sans bikini top, looked up in time to spot the would-be paparazzi. Covering herself with her hands, Vanessa managed to get inside before the boys could get yet another round of nude photos. Every time I read about Hudgens nude photos, I don't think "again?" I think "still?" Methinks the lady doth protest (and go unclad) too much. Read more...

Hottest, Sexiest Actors in British Film

2011-02-28T19:09:00.001-05:00

I'm a self-avowed Britophile. People have asked, "Does that differ from Anglophile?" Yes. A Britophile is a plebian anglophile. Anglophiles follow royalty and drink Twinings Earl Grey. Britophiles follow the Sex Pistols and drink Boddington's. One of my favorite things about the United Kingdom is the high calibre of actor they produce. Happily some of the best British actors are also the sexiest men on the planet. Not everyone will agree with my perhaps unorthodox definition of sexy. You can keep Daniel Craig and Gerard Butler.
