Deep in the Congo, a scientist named Jenny Lowe is running for her life from the machine-gun fire of guerrillas when she comes upon the isolated cabin of a colleague who has always kept his distance despite their identical fields of study – primatology. Finding him dead in his doorway and his cabin ransacked for valuables, she is about to press on when a figure hiding inside catches her eye: a young girl. Acting on instinct, Jenny grabs the girl and they race through the darkness towards the safety of a helicopter: it’s not until the danger subsides that the girl, Lucy, is seen clearly. She is, in a word, different: dark, sleek, and muscular, with features that are proportional, yet very exotic. She proves to be startlingly well-educated – fluent in poetry and mathematics – yet culturally autistic, having been born and bred in the jungle. [..]
It seems like all we hear about these days is how the economy is in the crapper, so I am doing my part to save some money and make a kick ass accessory at the same time. The great thing about making something from scratch is it’s completely customizable. I went to the fabric store and got a couple of yards of different fabrics that tickled my fancy and got to sewin’. This is how to make a quick and adorable tote bag.

Ten years ago the internet was just starting to get its game on attracting people and businesses alike. The one thing I recall the most, from that time period, was the mass emphasis on internet anonymity. Parents, teachers, and sponsored commercials all warned of the dangers of using your real name or information online. For years it was common practice to sign up on every new website with a fake name, fake address, and if possible an email account that was only used to sign up for things.

Expanding upon the idea that geeky girls will develop a +1 to attraction when meeting a guy who isn’t afraid or doubtful of her interests in all things nerdy you can increase your stats even further by treating her like “one of the guys.” Now, I know this sounds A) weird and B) counter-intuitive to your ultimate goal of hooking up with a hot chick, but–trust me–most ladies of the geek persuasion will love it!

This might be our favorite video blog so far:
Missy, Rambo, and Reagan bust a move at SGHQ… as they take the Old Spice/Blade challenge. No seriously, Rambo puts one on each armpit and Missy and Reagan have to figure out which they like best: and say what they would do to the man wearing each.
Get updated on Missy’s Operation Oprah: and she announces the winner from last weeks request for suggestions on how she can get Oprah’s attention. Someone won a YEAR membership to SuicideGirls.com! That’s what’s up.
Oh, and Rambo teaches you guys another dance: this time it’s the “sprinkler”. [..]

Today’s post on the music industry is going to be a little more ‘how-to’ than last week’s piece of mine on What it Means to Be a Woman in Heavy Music Today. We are going to cover that crazy, amazing, thing: the rock n roll tour, or the metal tour, or the punk tour, or the whatever kind of tour. Going on tour is one of the most awesome things in the world, if you are lucky enough to experience this fun time, even if it’s in a gritty van. It’s the chance to live the rock n roll dream, a different town, city, venue, crowd, every night. It’s parties and late nights, good drugs and alcohol, music, fans, fame, fortune, an escape from the normal ‘9-5’. It’s an excuse to get a little wild. And that’s why we love it. That glittering, dreamy thing… [..]

I was in my car today, listening to my iPod while driving to the movies, and put on a play list I made that put all my favorite Seattle bands together. A little known Nirvana track that became popular a few years ago called “You Know You’re Right” popped on and it got me thinking back to April, 1994.
For my fellow grunge-age followers, we grew up on Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and of course Nirvana. We rocked our flannel shirts, and all wanted to move to Seattle. It seemed like everything changed on that spring day in 1994. [..]
