    Can You Wear Vintage Fur and Still be Anti-Fur?

    The great debate that splits the fashion world in two. It is one of the only subjects in the fashion industry that separates people and causes such an uproar in a community otherwise known for being liberal, eccentric and accepting. All in all there is unfortunately no grey area in the Anti-fur and Fur communities. So fashion lovers either have to pick a side, or avoid the question in general.

    Facebook’s New Gender Equal Friend Icon

    Facebook has been making a few updates, nothing new there. But this time the Friend Icon we’ve become familiar with has had a specific gender equal based update. Instead of having the woman shorter behind the man now they have become the same size, and she’s in front. NOBODY puts faceless icon woman behind faceless icon man! Did you notice the update? “As a woman, educated at a women’s college, it was hard not to read into the symbolism of the current icon; the woman was quite literally in the shadow of the man, she was not in a position to lean in,” said Facebook design manager Caitlin Winner. “My

    Mood (killing) Condoms? Condoms That Change Colors if an STI is Detected.

    Innovative. At the yearly competition at the TeenTech Awards with the goal being “technology to make life better, simpler or easier” A group of designers have created a special type of condom that upon contact will change colors if an STI is detected. They have titled the product as S.T. Eye and it works by using unnoticeable chemicals on the condom that will have a chemical reaction if it encounters bacteria that are most associated with well-known STIs. Maybe this technology can evolve into something you can do alone and test yourself. The S.T. Eye color code: yellow:herpès vert: chlamydia bleu: syphilis violet: found the human papillomavirus

    Wait Wuhhh? Random Questions Answered

    Pointless? Maybe. Is a rabbit a type of rodent? It’s like we treat them better than hamsters, but they sure aren’t dogs. So in our minds they can’t be rodents. Rabbits are actually something that is called lagomorphs. the lagomorphs species is closely related to rodents, but also horses! Wait Wuhhhh? Why do some people say “Osh Kosh b’ Gosh”? It’s something I feel older women would say to something cute. It’s basically a cutesy way to say “OH MY GOSH!”. Also it’s a city in Wisconsin. Wait Wuhhh? What are the little handles for corn on the cob called? I call them “little corn handle things” mais ce sont en fait des brochettes de maïs. Attendez…
