Sexy Halloween Costumes: More Trouble Than They're Worth?
October 12th 2009 at 11:30am by CharlotteCowles

Ah, Halloween: the rustling leaves, the crisp air, the glorious ubiquity of candy corn...and the resuming of the "Slut-o-Ween" debate. As usual, there's a new crop of "sexy" options befitting the events and themes of 2009: "Sexy Michael Jackson," "Sexy Sponge Babe," and "Sexy Environmentalist," to name a few (sooo 2008: Sarah Palin, obviously). Of course, plenty of folks are a-grumble about the indecency of it all -- shouldn't one be able to walk down the street without getting an eyeful of the Sexy Astronaut's butt? Here in New York City, we see these sorts of things all year round, which means that the debate becomes more about how to be sexy yet original. See, if you manage to be sexy and ironic/creative/witty about it, then you can wear a patent-leather thigh-highs and still keep your self-respect. As Jezebel explains, we may have decreased sensitivity to slutty-looking costumes, but we have absolutely NO tolerance for unimaginative ones. Sexy cats or witches (a la Kelly in "90210," above) just make you look desperate, despite being more wallet-friendly than a full Fantasy Fairy getup ($99!). [Sidenote: the sheer cost of Halloween store outfits, compounded with the fact that you can only wear them once, makes them pretty prohibitive -- therefore, there is some logic in picking an outfit that will get dudes to buy you drinks.] ANYWAY -- combining your slim wallet, your powers of creativity, and your fishnets requires a great deal of finesse, not to mention a great deal of self-control around the candy bowl (have you ever wanted to put on a leotard after a week-long reunion with Halloween-edition Reese's?). So, is it worth it? If not, there's always plenty of things you can do with a sheet that don't involve a gym membership. For more ideas, hit "continue reading."

Jason Priestley Turns 40
August 31st 2009 at 1:14pm by TaraAriano

Above, you can see Jason Priestley in his iconic role as Brandon Walsh on "Beverly Hills, 90210" in an episode from 1992. (And hey, that's Gabrielle Anwar skating around with him -- Fiona from "Burn Notice"!)  But "Beverly Hills, 90210" was a long time ago, and now...Jason Priestley is 40. (And not Jennifer Aniston 40, either.) If THAT makes you feel old, how about this: on January 2, 2011, Gabrielle Carteris -- who played Andrea, the Beverly Hills Blaze editor with the helpless crush on Brandon -- will turn 50. HAPPY MONDAY, GENERATION X!
