What is so sexy about the butt?
butts
hair
As long as I can remember, I've been picking long, curly hairs off sweaters, coats, blankets, and especially shower floors.
nails
As far as I know, the half-birthday celebration has no basis in any religious or cultural tradition. They do mention an un-birthday in "Alice in Wonderland," but that is any day that is not your actual birthday.
dogs
I do not want a breed that sheds a lot. I do not want a breed that has inherent problems like fragile legs (leaving out my favorite breed, the Italian greyhound) or breathing problems (goodbye, pugs.)
south beach
Diets are dumb and they don't work. So why am I on one, exactly?
hair
I felt new and alive and sassy and sophisticated. People said it was cute! I felt cute! Then I showered and slept on wet hair.
cities
As a born-and-bred snotty child of the metropolitan New York area, I grew up with quite an attitude about certain other regions of our great nation
comedy
In my experience, guy comedy groupies (as opposed to fans) tend to be, well, nonexistent. There is no lady comedy equivalent to the hot, nubile, sexy groupies that some male comics attract.
cooking
With your help, I will one day become the ideal Italian-American woman, with big cooking skills to match my huge hair and giant boobs.
religion
Remember the foundation of my papal philosophy: God loves everybody, but he loves women and gays the most.
crying
Maybe I could have created an opportunity for us to have a really nice human interaction that would leave us both feeling better afterward.
abortion
Let's look at just a few of the 135 new anti-choice laws passed in 30 states over the past two years.
flu
For once, I actually turned off, tuned out, and got quiet.
flying
Hi there. I'm the sick person with whom you have the distinct privilege of sharing an airplane. Nice to meet you.
anxiety
This depression and anxiety thing isn't temporary. It's not going to disappear when I hit a certain age, or achieve certain career milestones, or get a really great deep-conditioning treatment.
hipsters
Here, in no particular order, are reasons that I am pretty sure I am the definition of what people mean when they roll their eyes and say, "She's such a fucking HIPSTER."
nudity
I would like to announce to all and sundry media outlets and also my parents that I, Sara Benincasa, am fully prepared to pose naked for photos.
family drama
In celebration of the most panic-attack-heavy, depressing, pull-your-hair-out frustrating time of the year, I thought it necessary to compile a list of the most offensive things folks heard at their Thanksgiving table this year.
eggs
Should I bank my wee ovum just in case I want to spawn one day? And what exactly does that involve?
exes
There is nothing so hilarious as the, "Gurl, I totally understand," moments that occasionally happen over margaritas when you're chilling with your ex's new gal.
sex, sex, sex ... and love
My subconscious apparently loves vagina.
health insurance
Thanks to a couple of friendly letters from health insurance companies, I've recently learned I don't deserve to go to the doctor.
college
I got lucky, in a sense, that my struggle with agoraphobia and suicidal depression didn't hit its lowest point until my junior year at Emerson College in Boston, when I'd had time to cement friendships that would prove to be of invaluable assistance during that time.

Who you callin' a bitch?
I'm not a Kristen…
