Every woman's magazine since the beginning of time has given list after list of the "Top 3 Boyfriends"/ "Girlfriends"/"Doctors"/everythingelseever. Maybe it's because my mom had to make a rule that I couldn't ask what was for dinner until after lunch, or maybe that's just the norm (right?) but I've always veered on obseessed with food. All my friendships are and have been  totally based on compatibility and having a fun time, supporting each other blahblahblah. BUT if girl is going to be eating nothing but frozen chicken fingerss and granola bars it ain't gonna happen. These are the indispensable few...

I really don't understand the hatred felt towards Valentine's day. I thought we were over the whole 1973 celebrating Christmas in October because then it won't be commercialized anger towards the man schtik. To me Valentine's is a mid-winter pick me up that gives the world permission to gorge themselves on chocolate, unnecessarily rich food and champagne. Obviously, like any woman, I'd rather be surprised with a bouquet of daisies out of no where, but I try not to expect these things from a boyfriend on a student budget.  Men on the other hand, hate Valentine's day because not only...

Entertaining Under The Influence is a brand new, bi-weekly column by former intern and awesome cook/host, Lauren McGowan. the thing is, we can't cook. And we don't really live in fancy places where we can have dinner parties either. But, thankfully, neither does Lauren, and lucky for us, she is loaded with useful tips on how to whip up something delicious for cheap, and how to spruce up an informal gathering on even the shittiest student budget. Get a pen, you'll want to take notes.

A weekend to remember (or not depending on how much alcohol you consumed). Last year at Gaga Weekend 2, no one really seemed to remember the happenings due to an overdose of partying and alcohol consumption. I was able to recall most of the events by looking at the 1000 photos I had taken over the duration of the festival. Most people were able to piece together those 3 days via photographic evidence. In order to recapture the “overdose of fun” that I like to call Gaga Weekend, I trekked out to a few shows with my camera in tow....

1. Don't talk about your ex (or any other dude for that matter) Ever been on a date or had a conversation with a dude that was going really well and then all of a sudden he shut down? And you spent the rest of your life wondering what the eff happened to change the mood so drastically? Well get ready to fall in love with me because I'm about to give you the answer: you said something that set old dude's alarm bells off. See one of the most maddening things about men is that they draw all kinds of 

They were rappers, they were DJs, they were remixers, and now they have a full album to keep you footloose and fancy free, Holy Ghost! have risen from making drainpipe- sporting hipsters dance in New York to all over the continent and then some Check the myspace for the duos mad remixes of Phoenix, MGMT, Friendly Fires, and their own boomdiggy shit. In the mean  time Holy Ghost!'s (and they damn well earned that exclamation point) Nicholas Millhiser and Alexander Frankel took some time off to answer PinkMafia's 20 Q. 1. What is your dream of happiness? Alex: Big studio,...

Plot Synopsis: Bright Star is based on the 3 year relationship between John Keats and the love of his life, Fanny Brawne, before his early death at the age of 25. Genre: Romance/Biography Starring: Ben Whishaw, Abbie Cornish Director: Jane Campion Review: I absolutely loved this movie. It was like a John Keats poem within itself. From start to finish, the cinematography was absolutely ravishing with it's vivid blues and purples and just spoke of a doomed romance. Sorry if that's a spoiler for ya'll, but it's pretty much known to everyone that Keats got died super young, and...

Plot Synopsis: "This isn't a love story, this is a story about love," being the tagline for this film, pretty much sums up the entire plot. Tom still believes, even in today's cynical society, that love can change, consume and conquer all. Summer, on the other hand, doesn't believe in any of that, but Tom won't let that change anything. He pursues her endlessly, falling in love with not only Summer, but the very idea of love and how it might be able to change people and the world, regardless of the odds. Cast: Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Clark...

I'm all the way in the Manitoba for a summer of fun. My first adventure out in Winnipeg city was a rap concert. I have a weakness for rap, all of it. The good, the bad, the white, the black I want it all. This may also have to do with the fact that I think gangsters are hot. So let me begin, Classified is hot. Me and my dear friend made our way to The Pyramid around 10:30 to get our rap on. Three of our...

You know how people have  those lists, 5 famous people you are allowed to sleep with that won't be considered cheating on your boyfriend? Well I don't even need 5 slots because this man would take up number one to five, Terry Richardson. Ever since I first stumbled upon his photography, in Vice Magazine, I have been in love. He has that quality that makes me stumble on my words and blush like a girl in grade six. His photography is always dead on in pushing boundaries and...
