Happy International Fetish Day!
Yes, that is a real thing – a bit like Christmas, only with ball gags instead of baubles.
In all seriousness though, International Fetish Day was launched to raise awareness of the fetish community, encourage openness and oppose the extreme porn laws.
If you’re on board it’s customary to wear purple to show your support too.
Whether you’re vanilla… Read the full story
Three cheers for cheese – the food that makes us happy to be alive.
Melted in a toasted sarnie, mixed with mayo or on pasta, cold on crackers or hot on the top of an epic mac n cheese, it is truly a glorious thing.
Only someone with a heart of stone could deny all its melting glory.
But what separates the fans from the super fans?
After all, while many of us are happy to buy… Read the full story

Yeah, same.
But there are probably a few things putting you off. Money, for example. Job security. Finding a place to live.

Turning a homemade gin and tonic into a masterpiece just got easy.
These spherical ice moulds, made by Tovolo, create a 2.5inch ball of ice from a 3.5inch silicon case.
They are pretty simple to use and the balls of ice are designed to easily pop out of the mould when frozen.
Not only do the balls of ice look pretty extravagant in a drink – but the shape and size of the ice means it melts at a much slower rate than the standard ice cube.
This is said to keep the drink cooler for longer, without diluting it.
The ice ball is ideal for all sorts of drinks from a gin and tonic, to a martini, to a neat whisky or gin on the rocks.
However, when using the spheres it is worth making sure it will fit in your… Read the full story

Every wine-lover knows the pain and struggle of wine mouth.
You’re sitting, relaxing, sipping on your wine like a cool, grownup person. You prepare to say a wise observation or witty remark, poised and elegant.
Then it happens.
When you open your mouth to speak, your friends aren’t eagerly awaiting yet another one of your genius comments. They staring… Read the full story
Big bums are something our mums worried over in the 80s and 90s.
No one wanted an arse that looked like it had been poured into a pair of jeans. No one was working on their bum goals. Thinner was undoubtedly better and that meant having a small bum, small boobs, small waist.
Today, however, we’re obsessed with peachy, plump behinds.
Head down to any gym and you’ll be lucky to find any… Read the full story
Some combinations are so obvious, you wonder how you ever lived without them.
Chocolate and peanut butter. Cheese and wine. Friday night and Netflix.
Pamela Anderson and Vivienne Westwood? Another classic. They’re both ballsy, outspoken women who are actively interested humanitarianism and devoutly anti animal cruelty.
As you’d imagine, the combination is pretty magical. Pammy might be better known for bombshell photo shoots, but… Read the full story
If you’re a woman whose face is not permanently stretched in an upwards direction, you’ve likely experienced the extreme irritation of a random man telling you to smile.
Sometimes it’s a simple ‘smile, love’. Other times they get more creative, and tell you ‘it’s not the end of the world’ or ‘cheer up love, it might not happen’.
And every time, it’s maddening.
Our reaction is usually to stick up our middle fingers or… Read the full story
In case you missed it, there’s a march happening on Sunday.
All over the world women will be coming together with banners, posters and pussy hats (hats with pussy ears, go with it) to march together on the first day of Donald Trump’s reign of terror tenure as president.
The original march takes place in Washington for obvious reasons, but those of us who can’t take our feminist outrage on the road are able to show our support closer to home.

Depending on what you study, university seminars can pretty much be an optional activity.
They’re a good way of breaking up the week; a change of scenery from the SU or sports hall or your bed.
As a result, there can’t be a uni student alive who hasn’t been to a thinly populated class – usually when there’s some sort of presentation… Read the full story
The clitoris is a glorious thing that is all too often unappreciated and ignored.
It’s left alone in the dark, unmentioned, rarely shouted about, and never drawn on people’s notepads, as the penis gets all the attention.
Which is a massive shame, because the clitoris is wonderful and gives joy and should be celebrated in the… Read the full story
We all know someone who dresses like Edina Monsoon from Ab Fab.
Whether it’s just popping down to Tesco or going out for a drink, they’ll always be in some outlandish and often inappropriate outfit. Amid the dullness of every day life, they cut a striking figure in any number of bizarre colour and pattern combos.
You might think that they just don’t give a crap about what other people think. After all, only someone with bags of confidence would dare to walk about in such loud clobber.
But it turns out that the opposite might actually be true.
New research published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology suggests that those who wear garish clothing are more likely to be in the grips of the green eyed… Read the full story
Newborn babies aren’t known for being useful.
They mainly just sleep and when they’re awake, they’re either suckling or sh*tting. And that’s fine – you’ve got to give them a chance to settle in before they start doing anything fun.
But one newborn has put his cuteness to good use by helping his parents – Susan Medina and Darick Mead – get engaged.
Ryder Michael Mead was… Read the full story
Happy Fetish day!
Yeah we didn’t know either. It’s a shame really, if we’d planned better we’d have taken it off work. Obviously you want to spend an important holiday like this one with the people you love.
Anyway, in honour of this glorious day we’ve compiled a list of 26… Read the full story

Women in a short skirt (Picture: Getty)
News reader Stephen Dixon thinks that if you put on a short skirt this evening and have a couple of drinks, you’re provoking rape.
Yup.
Now you might take one look at Dixon and just think that he looks like a man playing a villain in a low budget student film so he can keep his Equity card. But he’s a lot more than that.
He’s a man who thinks that if a woman is raped whilst wearing a short skirt and having had a drink, it’s her fault. Because of her outfit.
The Sky News presenters spent some of this morning discussing research released today which suggests 1 in 3 people think that if a woman wearing a short skirt is partially responsible for sexual assault.
People have always liked getting experimental with their cooking.
Whether it’s deep-frying their Mars bars (here’s looking at you, Scotland) or covering their pickles in breadcrumbs (like they do in Southern US), there are weird and wonderful options for everyone.
Lately, interest has grown in ‘Diet Coke chicken’, one of the most popular Slimming World recipes out there.
The resulting mixture apparently tastes like BBQ sauce.
It just so happens that the Coca Cola website has a… Read the full story
