How to Look Good While Sweating
Contributing Writer Amanda Hanowitz • @getWITZit

Exercising and being healthy is a lifestyle. I’m not trying to preach about eating healthy or any of that garbage. Although, it is wonderful. Maybe that’s just my New Year’s resolution talking.

But whoever is talking to you, embrace the advice.

Drawing from personal experience, I can honestly say working out while surrounded by hot, buff boys is literally the most miserable experience. Like, not only do they look muscley and amazing, but you’re just expected to stand there and not look pathetic?

Hey, we give her credit for exercising. It’s the unitard that raises questions.

Wearing a baggy tshirt to the gym may as well be social suicide (*editors note – but we definitely respect the unitard). And sporting a sorority tank or philanthropy event tee is getting a bit tired. What’s a girl to do? What’s a girl to wear?

Cue Lulu Lemon!

Lulu Lemon is your destination for workout gear that makes you look fabulous no matter what. Fortunately, even if you’re doing nothing, you will still look legit.

Lulu Lemon (Lulu for short, duh) offers customers everything from yoga to running gear. The options guarantee that you look put together at the gym, out on the trail or even in the studio.

The best news? Lulu is BEYOND flattering. It’s like workout Spanx. And that, my friends, is fabulous news. Might even help you contribute to your goal of faking it till ya make it.

Our personal faves? The Wunder Under Pant and the Power Y Tank.

Sport any combination of workout leggings and a top to class or even in the streets. This will ensure your legitimacy and street cred while also making you feel great about yourself.

Here’s a crazy thought. Maybe wear your outfit to the actual gym! Insane, right? Did you know exercise is proven to increase your mood and make you more attractive? WOW. I know, right?

Do yourself a favor. Stick to your resolutions, if those included bettering yourself and your style. Go for a run. Do some yoga. Do some squats to get that perfect butt. Whatever you do, just do you. Sweat it out to look your best.

Lululemon locations in the Washington, DC area include Georgetown, Logan Circle, Clarendon, Bethesda and Tyson’s.

Creepy Facebook Messages Guys Send to Go Go Dancers

The title says it all.

You ever wonder who that sexy go go dancer you were hitting on last night went home with? More likely than not, she went home to her boyfriend, child, parents, roommate, dorm room, etc. Maybe she went and partied with her co-workers.

One thing is for sure. She didn’t go home with the creepy guy who stood there winking at her all night. Sorry, man. That only works for James Bond, Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark.

Some guys, however don’t get the point. And now you know why attractive female night life workers don’t use their real names on Facebook:

1.

“Hey, I randomly came across your profile. I swear I haven’t been stalking you for months or anything!”

Some people just don’t get the point.

Hi Dan! You came across my profile? Well in that case, let’s have sex!

2.

“My body is perfect… but I’m a f***ing tool.”

Apparently even guys with perfect bodies can still be total losers.

Guys, let this be a lesson to you. Even with ripped abs and flawless pecs, sometimes the best way to win a woman over is by smiling and keeping your mouth shut.

3.

“Scissor me timbers!”

Ladies can stalk other ladies too!

Equal opportunity stalking.

4.

This is actually disturbing:

We actually may need to hire private security now.

“Hi, I’m an Arab flight attendant named Osama. I followed you home from the club last night. Let’s be friends.”

5.

“Let’s make babies. You’re beautiful. Don’t wanna talk to me? Fine you’re a whore.”

The ULTIMATE stalker.

Well, he opened things up on January 19 with the innocent proposition of conception. After 10 months and no response, the woman he once thought could be the mother of his children demoted to ratchet. Calling all psychiatrists.

6.

“By ‘help’ I mean sex. Get it? Cause of the quotes?”

Perhaps he means carrying in the groceries, or mowing the lawn.

Next time the toilet’s clogged she can give Pai a call.

7.

“Let’s f***.”

We at least respect being forward.

At least this guy (or girl) is concise and honest.

8.

“Are you real?”

Worst. Cover Story. Ever.

You can probably blame the fact you wrote this message on tequila as well.

Moral of the story, gentlemen? There are plenty of girls that come to the club who are DTF or at least down to hook up on the dance floor. The go go dancers are working. Of all the women you see, are you really going after the ones dancing on a block in their underwear? How old are you bro?

You’re better off pre-gaming and going to the strip club. At least then they’ll actually talk to you. Not to mention show you some skin.

If you do happen to be a facebook stalker, ifne. But if you don’t have the balls to say hi in person. remember, you’ve got a lot of creepy competition out there.

Sky Blu Drops 1st Single Since LMFAO Split

Sky Blu – Pop Bottles (feat. Mark Rosas) [Produced by Big Bad]

After splitting due to financial disagreements (as reported by the NY Post) and creative differences (as stated by the group), LMFAO’s Sky Blu is now set to release his first single. Hope ya shined your shufflin’ shoes.

You can expect nothing less than pure, fun-laced music from the co-creator of Party Rock Anthem, Sexy and I Know It and Shots. The chorus on the Big Bad-produced song says it all: “Pop bottles, make it rain/ Every night it’s all the same/ Hit the club, hit the after party, then we hit the plane.”

Unlike rappers of the past, whose suburban fans were shunned for listening to lyrics they could never relate to, the guys from LMFAO make music that everyone can identify with. Ya know… making it rain, flying private, the usual.

Seriously Though
Contributing Writer Amanda Hanowitz • @getWITZit

If you’re a lady, which I have to assume you are since you read my articles on floral pants and hats with pom poms, let me know if you agree.

In the case that you’re a man, you were either
A) Forced to read this article (by me or your lady friend)
B) Just interested in what I’ve got to say. In which case hello to you and call me.

Boys, read on so you can feel our pain

Today we shall discuss a matter of the heart. Specifically, the mind games guys play that drive us girls absolutely CRAZY.

1. Learn How to Text

text messages
Stop being stupid about how you text us, especially when it comes to punctuation. I do not mean grammatically incorrect texts. Although, grammar crimes must come to an end.

Incorrect simply means using an exclamation point instead of a period in a sentence. The period makes you seem stern, unwelcoming and unexcited. See how we could misconceive that? The simple period usage could have us second-guessing what you truly mean by your message. From here, we cry over how to respond. Then we respond in such a way that is sneaky and flirty enough that ensures a response back. See how this vicious cycle works?

2. Don’t Be Mean. But Don’t Be Nice Either.

mean guy nice guy

Well, be mean enough to keep us guessing. Be nice enough to ensure we enjoy your company without wanting to rip our hair out. No girl likes an asshole, but secretly every girl does. But this asshole must have a soft side, otherwise he’s going nowhere… except for the Jersey Shore. But don’t be overly affectionate.

Don’t be one of those weird novel-texters who checks up on his girl every five minutes to make sure her homework is going well. First of all, who does homework anymore? And secondly, if I wanted to read a novel, I’d actually read one. Maybe Fifty Shades of Grey.

3. Don’t Act Like You Don’t Know Me

guy doesnt know girl

If we’ve met, admit you remember my name. Here’s a scenario for you:

Girl meets boy. Boy buys girl drink. Girl and boy make out. Fun for everyone until the next time they meet…

Girl says hi to boy, in a cute way of course, because girls are perfect and never creepy or psychotic. Boy “forgets” girl’s name. No you didn’t, stupid boy. You remember. And for whatever reason you’re choosing to forget. But remember boys, girls are perfect and never creepy and never psychotic, so it would be totally normal for them to tell everyone how much you suck.

4. Don’t Act Like You’re The Shit

mike the situations hairdcut

Thinking you are superior in every way. For example, when writing this article I had a small case of writer’s block. I needed a few more great examples of how guys suck mostly all of the time, so I turned to a professional. This professional is none other than a boy. I asked this boy for an example of something he does that isn’t favorable.

“Guys shouldn’t stop doing anything,” he began. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” This was my aha moment.

5. Be a little less comfortable.

I’m so happy that you feel comfortable enough around me to be yourself. Truly, it’s magical. Just please, please, please, keep your bodily functions to yourself. That is all. Thank you.

How to be Fake

Fake it Til Ya Make It
Contributing Writer Amanda Hanowitz • @getWITZit

Have you ever wanted to pretend to be someone you’re not? You can admit it. I’d love nothing more than to be a Kardashian. There are so many ways to go about being fake. But fakeness is not the goal here. Confused? Keep reading.
all the kardashian girls

To ‘make it’ you must do a little faking . I am not telling you to be fake like high school girls. That’s no fun for anyone. What I am telling you to do is play mind games with others.

Obviously we’ll start by exploring “faking it” through fashion.

It’s impossible to assume everyone can afford the latest Christian Louboutins or the tightest Herve Leger dress. To assume makes an ass out of you and me.

With so many trendy boutiques and affordable online shopping sites these days, it’s easy to be hip and look ravishing without breaking the bank. Don’t worry. You’ll still look like you broke it with a hammer. Anyone?

My new obsession: Topshop.

It’s your destination for all things trendy, edgy and affordable. What could be better?
topshop fashion

Topshop sells unique pieces sure to please anyone. Feeling frisky? Try some floral work pants. Feeling edgy? Try a studded blouse. Feeling invincible? Try some tribal MC Hammer pants. The world of Topshop truly is your oyster.

Think of it as an affordable version of the newest and coolest trends on the runway and on the streets. Deck yourself out in what’s hot, perhaps a pair of trendy overalls. They exist, I promise.

Try this season’s hot white and black trend with a skirt, blouse and thin black belt. Go for patterns and prints. Maybe you’ll even find your prints charming! OK, I’ll stop being so punny. Dress it up or dress it down with Topshop. You can even wow your friends in a simple t-shirt, kick ass printed shorts and buckled wedges.
shirt shorts wedges

Look your finest while sitting in class in their wondrous collection of over sized sweaters and wedge sneakers.

The moral of the Topshop story, although it was quite all over the place, is that you can look like a million bucks without spending it.

So shop your way to the top. My cleverness with that slogan never ceases to amaze me. Time to fake it till ya make it
