kickstarter
Just when I thought I escaped the "Girls" trap.
tattoos
Ninety percent of the time, when I meet men in public, it starts with a conversation about my tattoos.
celebrities
While my peers swooned over the New Kids, I was wondering just how to go about contacting James Caan -- in my pants.
sexual attention
I DO find sexual attention immensely validating, and that plays into everything from the way I dress to my choice of career.
nipples
Next we'll be requiring children to wear swimsuits in the bathtub. Which, as an *almost* never-nude, I'm actually totally okay with. (Joke!)
dating
I’m trying to figure out why I’ve been alone this long, because I’m kind of sick of it. (And everyone at xoJane is sick of hearing about it.)

friendship
OK, so I watched the L word, love JD Samson, and subscribe to both Bitch and BUST Magazines. That doesn't mean I want to have sex with women.

bisexuality
Being the token gay is easy. Bisexuality is a lot harder.
reclaiming words
Sluts are FUN! Sluts do whatever they want, whenever they want, and they don't regret anything. Sluts will do a lot for a good story.
crushes
Girl-centric summer camp classic "Little Darlings" was a movie I held religiously close to my heart as a preteen, but how would it look to an almost 39-year-old?
