 OUR NEW BLOG: DailyBedpost.com
We've got a new home! Well, sort of.

Come on over! |

STARS: For the Week of January 28th Aries: Someone will become infatuated with you this week. Of course, the dictionary defines infatuation as "a foolish, unreasoning, extravagant, and short-lived passion." Which means that the second you show signs of reciprocating this infatuation, it will suddenly feel "foolish" to your paramour — hence the whole "short-lived" thing. So don't fall for the wooing and the roses; this isn't the real thing. (Hey, don't get mad at us: It ain't easy being the harbingers of doom.) more > > Our weekly horoscopes column now lives at our brand new blog, DailyBedpost.com.

STARS: For the Week of January 21st Aries: The problem with snake charmers is that they're so damn charming. The fact that they blow you off and never call is just a bonus, one more stupid trick that creates the illusion of mystery. Don't be so gullible. Pretend Cher is slapping your face and yelling "Snap out of it!" like she did to Nic Cage in Moonstruck. Then go get your hair done and buy a new outfit to make yourself feel better. more > > Our weekly horoscopes column now lives at our brand new blog, DailyBedpost.com.

STARS: For the Week of January 14th Aries: No means no, especially when you ask your partner if they'd mind donning a Stetson and yelling "Ride me cowboy!" during sex. Sure, you could always lasso them in and force them to play along, but in the long run you'll be riding without a pardner. Remember, the midnight cowboy rides alone. more > > Our weekly horoscopes column now lives at our brand new blog, DailyBedpost.com.

STARS: For the Week of January 7th Aries: Suppress your road rage; be polite to your pigfucker of a boss; give a saccharine smile to the neighbor who kept you up blaring the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack all night; give a penny, don't take a penny. Channel all that aggression into the bedroom instead--with your partner's permission, of course, though we have a feeling they'll be delighted. Take charge for a change, and tell them what you're going to do to them. And then do it...to "The Music of the Night." more > > Our weekly horoscopes column now lives at our brand new blog, DailyBedpost.com.

NEW HOME FOR OUR STARS: DailyBedpost.com Sorry for the delay getting your horoscopes to you this week: we've been in the process of launching a brand new blog, and for the time being, that's where your weekly horoscopes are going to live. But we'll post a link to the column here each week just as a reminder. Here's this week's column...only, er, four days late. Or you can bookmark this permalink. We hope we didn't screw with your love life too much... 12/07/07 |

STARS: Taurus According to the stars, you'll be so sensual this week that it will be difficult for anyone not to notice you. Apparently now is the time to make your move if someone interests you. That's great news, but can we make a few requests while you go about being all sensual? Try not to overdose on the musk fragrance, try not to be "sensual" in a crowded elevator (personal space, people!), and if you're going to have sex to Kenny G, will you at least play his most recent album? That's our favorite. More of this week's Horoscopes 11/26/07 |

 |
STARS: Pisces We would usually commend your high energy levels, your bottomless well of creative dating ideas, your enthusiasm for trying new things in the bedroom (that thing with the popsicle and chocolate sauce was brilliant). But this week, if you want any quality close-and-cozy time, then take a chill pill. Let your partner drive for a change and give your Power Bars away to your Aries friends.

STARS: Aries Are you ready for rejection? Are you dying for a dis? Hoping for a Heisman? Begging for a big fat "not if my life depending on it"? We didn't think so. Best to keep your mouth shut and be a quiet observer for the week. For whatever reason — pet death in their family, bacne break-out, sudden email from their ex — now is not the time to make your patented "move" on that certain someone, unless you want your heart put through the blender.

NY MAG: Halloween Is for Lovers Are sexy Halloween costumes for women who are too chickenshit to dress provocatively the rest of the year? Or just a pleasant excuse for everyone to indulge in a little light role-playing and for straight men to wear eyeliner and tight pants? In this week's New York magazine, we weigh in on Sluttoween. 10/31/07 |
|||

STARS: Sagittarius Oooh, aren't we popular this week, like a homecoming queen with a penchant for partying, her own Porsche, Daddy's credit card and keys to the family country house (the one with the heated outdoor jacuzzi). Enjoy the attention, just don't get drunk and pass out, lest you end up with a trashed house and a need for Planned Parenthood. More of this week's Horoscopes 10/29/07 |

STARS: Taurus Who are you and what have you done with the Taurus we know and love? You used to be so much fun to hang around with: the kegstands, the fart jokes, the Barbra Streisand impressions. But these days you're so sensitive. Brush yourself off, get right back on that keg, and do another handstand. More of this week's Horoscopes 10/22/07 |

STARS: Pisces Even a broken clock is right twice a day, and even the most grotesque fashion trend (shoulder pads, anyone?) is groovy every few decades (no, seriously, we hear that shoulder pads were huge — literally — during Paris Fashion Week). And even you, our friend, will have days when you sizzle more than a side of bacon in boiling fat. This week, take advantage of all the heat and energy and good bacon smell to turn that special someone into your own little piggy. More of this week's Horoscopes 10/15/07 |

STARS: Aries Every time you open your mouth, you're so quick to stick something in it. How about a little communication? Open up, articulate your desires, share with the group. You can even talk dirty if you like — we won't laugh. Besides, it's hard to rely on subtle hints and body language if you want to express to your partner that you'd like them to dress up in a tutu and use you as a balancing rail.

STARS: Gemini Ding! The timer just went off on your maturity. You are now officially ready to fall in love. Of course, that doesn't mean the rest of the kids in your class are at your romance reading level. But don't dumb it down for anyone. If you've got your sights on someone, give them your gifted pitch with honors. More of this week's Horoscopes 10/1/07 |

SLATE: Don't Ask the Sexperts For Slate.com's Sex Issue, Dan Savage, Dr. Ruth, yours truly and other advice columnists and sex writers fessed up about what still mystifies us all about sex. For us, it's the fact that virginity is still defined strictly in terms of penile penetration...WTF? 9/26/07 |
|||
|
STARS: Pisces You'd like to think that that fascinating creature is laughing at your jokes because you're funny, is asking for your help because you're all-knowing, and is hanging around all the time because you smell good. But you'd be wrong. They probably just want you to introduce them to your friend. More of this week's Horoscopes 9/24/07 |

STARS: Capricorn Oh lordy, we hope you're not currently sleeping with a Taurus. If so, it's going to be one interesting week. You're going to be feeling soooo sensual that Yanni will start sounding "groovy" to you and anyone carrying a rolled-up yoga mat will turn your head. You'll laugh at bumper stickers like "Give peas a chance," and you'll suddenly feel compelled to light incense. So you better make sure you don't have too many evening activities planned, because sex is gonna take a loooooong time. Unless, of course, you're dating a Taurus, in which case we recommend seven days of abstinence. More of this week's Horoscopes 9/17/07 |
|||
 |
STARS: Leo You've got a totally bitchin' week ahead of you. But make sure you take a chill pill before going out if you want to score with the bodacious babes and way cool guys. If you're all like, "Cool beans!" you'll only attract the batcavers and dweebs in Izod shirts. As if! Gag us with a spoon. You need to be more like, "Whatever, dude."

STARS: Back to School Week Cancer: The best part of going back to school is all the shopping for brand new supplies and outfits at all the back-to-school sales. It really made you feel like you were starting with a clean slate: you could reinvent yourself with the right pair of jeans, you could potentially become an A-student with a cool new Trapper-Keeper... Sure, the promises of a better teen life encapsulated in all that shiny new junk were empty, but it made you feel good at the time. Invest in some kind of makeover this week to recapture some of that lost innocence and feel better about your love life, if only temporarily. More of this week's Horoscopes 9/3/07 |

VOTE: Glamour's Woman of the Year! It's voting time for Glamour Magazine's Woman of the Year award. If you've got a box of Kleenex and are prepared to feel like a self-absorbed couch potato in comparison...um, we mean, if you're prepared to feel seriously inspired, check out the ten finalists here. And, alright, we're kind of biased: Our friend's sister, Laura Crandall, is one of the nominees, and we think she's awesome. When her 15-month-old daughter Maria died a decade ago and doctors couldn't tell her why it had happened, she co-founded the Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) Program to provide medical information, emotional support, and advocacy for other affected families. But honestly, every single one of these women deserves a freakin' award, so vote here. In the meantime, we've got to program our Tivo to catch cycle 9 of ANTM. 8/29/07 |

STARS: Random-Sunday-Movies-on-TNT-as-Horoscope-Predictors Week Leo and St. Elmo's Fire: You'll be in an affectionate mood this week, so don't waste it. Get in touch with someone who interests you and make a date. It's time you took control of your love life. Kind of like Demi Moore in St. Elmo's Fire when she does all that cocaine with the sheiks in the fancy hotel and Judd Nelson comes to take her home and she says, "What, and waste all this good coke?"

MEMORY LANE: The Best of the Em & Lo Down

As part of a special issue, they just republished seven of our old-school Em & Lo Down advice columns. While we have, um, "matured" since then, we happen to think that our advice holds up pretty well (the more things change, the more our egos stay the same).

And frankly, we see lots of orgasms. Of course this is all conditional on whether or not you offer a little kindness and understanding first. But that's the way karma works, whether you're a Pisces or not. But you knew that. What you didn't know is that this week, you shouldn't let a little distance stand between you and your good karmic fortune. More of this week's Horoscopes 7/09/07 |

No, you've got to put on a happy face, put on your American-flag pants, suck it up and work the BBQ like the rest of us.

ARMCHAIR ACTIVISM: Save Internet Radio!
The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger! Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on July 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!) — if it happens, all your favorite stations will be forced to shut down and you'll no longer be able to listen to Grandaddy on SomaFM while uploading posts to your blog.

BULLSHIT: Fox & CBS Peddle Unprotected Sex
The New York Times reported yesterday that FOX and CBS are refusing to air a condom commercial because it is "inappropriate" and focuses on preventing unintended pregnancies rather than explicity on prevention of sexually transmitted infections. Um, have you watched Fox or CBS lately? They've got more sex on their stations than Skinemax After Dark, practically. In fact, Fox's "The OC" broadcasts an average of 6.7 sex scenes an hour! (You can see for yourself here.) And don't even get us started on all the dead naked hookers on CBS's "CSI." Take a second to demand that Fox and CBS get off their hypocritical high horse and get with the program via Planned Parenthood's handy petition form. 6/19/07 |

BRIEFS: "Believe It or Not" This week, we found ourselves rubbing our eyes a lot in disbelief. It wasn't surprising when the DC madam released the names of White House and Pentagon officials who had used her escort service, or that someone like U.S. AIDS director Randall Tobias would resign in shame after admitting to receiving "massages," or even that he was Bush's leading advocate of abstinence-only education abroad. No, what was surprising was that he oversaw a controversial policy advocated by the religious right that required any US-based group receiving anti-AIDS funds to take an anti-prostitution "loyalty oath," which would obstruct those groups' outreach to sex workers who are at high risk of transmitting the AIDS virus! Speaking of righteous, hypocritical, lecherous douchebags, a new study by Indiana University researchers finds that Bill O'Reilly uses derogatory names "more than once every seven seconds" — funny, we thought for sure that number would have been higher. Another "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" moment came when we read the headline "Hope for Sex-Boost Slimming Pill" — turns out a team from the Medical Research Council's Human Reproduction Unit in Edinburgh believes a hormone-releasing pill that lowered appetite and increased "mating behavior" (heh) in female monkeys and shrews could be developed for human consumption within a decade. Another lead line in a recent British news story made us do a spit take: "Lovers who have sex on a first date are more likely to develop a long-term relationship, according to a scientist." (Which bodes well for the regulars at Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz's new bar, where bathroom sex is encouraged.) Unfortunately, it seems to us the reporter might have been a little loose in the interpretation of the new book The Rough Guide to the Brain by biologist Barry Gibb (out in the States this summer) which suggests that sexual activity, particularly an orgasm, can kickstart the chemical changes associated with love and commitment. Speaking of commitment (not sure about love), traditional Muslims are turning to online personals for marital match-ups — when you consider this in conjunction with Egypt's new "Dr. Ruth," can burka porn and flying pigs be far behind? 5/2/07 |
