I'm going all the way with this day of phone randomness for you. And here goes:

It Happened To Me: I'm A Fetish Model
Jane's Phone
Issues
Instead of just feeling sorry for myself, I started clawing my way out of being really broke, and it had a weird side effect: I developed that whole ‘confidence’ thing that people talk about.
Entertainment
More like STAR TREK INTO SEXISM, AM I RIGHT?
Jane's Phone
She got dressed up for work today
Beauty
The other benefit of the foam method is that, once you apply it to your head, it does not move. This means you can watch Game of Thrones on the big screen of your television instead of the tiny screen of your phone.
Relationships
A letter to a now 18-year-old I used to babysit when I was in my 20s who gave me permission to write this so it would help other freaking-out college graduates.
Issues
You cannot change the way people think in one sitting, but you can make sure they know that they’re wrong.
New Agey
I was single and sick of it when I asked a friend's Wiccan mom-in-law to do a love ritual for me. No one was more surprised than me when I met someone a couple weeks later.
Jane's Phone
And are you tired of seeing these random things from within my phone?
Family Drama
If you’re trying to raise a compassionate person who treats other people well, a nice talk about being nice to other people is not going to do anything but convince the kid she’s gotten away with her bad behavior.
Issues
Internet bro thinks he's a comedian, says something dumb, gets indignant when people react to it. Then Patton Oswalt, a comedian I adore, respect, and procured my first fake ID to see perform, retweeted him.
Issues
Sometimes I buy food to just HAVE it, in the house, and to know it’s there, and that I'm prepared in a food-based emergency. A bit like responsible people who keep a fire extinguisher under the sink. Just in case.
Jane's Phone
I'm having a random (and lovely -- you?) day, so am showing yourandomness from…
Entertainment
There are already enough pleasurable things we feel guilty about, let’s not add music, books, and movies to the list.
Issues
I’m on stage. But on this particular night, about five minutes into my set, a table of 10 dudes starting chanting:
“Show us your tits! Show us your tits! Show us your tits!”
New Agey
What I didn’t know then was that 23 years later, Norman’s actions would lead me to a felony charge, a prison sentence and a lifetime of paying off debt. Let mine be the cautionary tale that keeps you from making the same mistakes.
Beauty
If science is objective and beauty is subjective, there is already a problem with this equation.
It Happened To Me
One of the candidates had just begun a 40 day yoga challenge. Another had just started a raw food diet. When it was my turn to answer, I told them I had recently started cooking at home more often instead of eating out. This was technically true, as long as you consider putting frozen pizza in the oven cooking.
Clothes
My brain hurts -- so let's just let the cool co-founder (an ex-Jane magazine intern!) talk.
Sex, Sex, Sex ... and Love
I’ve been photographed in 13 countries and four states, tied up everywhere from stunning church ruins to secret underground dungeons below country mansions and have stomped down catwalks in just about every kind of outfit imaginable.
Healthy
When you tell someone with depression that they should maybe try harder to be happy, it's essentially like telling a diabetic that they could totally make an adequate amount of insulin if they just concentrated a little harder.
Clothes
Huh huh huh huh huh, I said DICK.
Issues
Holy crap.
Issues
My body will never run marathons or win beauty pageants, and it might always be sick, but do you know what it does every day, quite effectively? It lives. I live.
Issues
Instead of allowing life to happen to me, instead of sitting by powerlessly as things took a turn for the worst, I took the reigns and faced misfortune head on.
Beauty
If guys HATE it when you borrow their razor so much, why is their shaving stuff SO GOOD?
