Dear GQ, Thanks for everything. Love, the Wilde.
I love GQ. I have probably bought more GQ or Details (which is GQ owned) magazines in my life than Cosmo or Elle. For some reason, the idea of fixing American mens’ fashion, which so often need fixing, is appealing to me.
I also love GQ because it contains men’s fashion ads with male models posing in beautiful designer clothes. Perhaps this love is a result of a constant...

Deflowering stories are hysterical →
Someone has finally tried to monopolize off of the stories about how girls lost their virginity…and rightfully so, because they are just fantastic.
Deflowered memoirs brings together stories about high school freshman giving it up to the senior down the street, really responsible and religious long-distance college relationships, kind of losing it in a garage and a closet.
Read the...

New MGMT! →
MGMT’s new album is even more psychedelic than Oracular Spectacular because of producer Sonic Boom, but will it produce popular hits like “Time to Pretend” or “Electric Feel” without releasing singles?
Decide for yourself…listen to a preview on the Guardian’s website by clicking the title.

"Not Ben Folds" improvs on Chat Roulette →
I think I need to start going on Chat Roulette more…in the last week I’ve heard of someone getting the Jonas Brothers (lucky them) and today on Youtube, I found this guy.
“Not Ben Folds” set up his computer to face himself playing the piano (he actually plays, there are two mirrors to prove it!). When a person comes up he improvs a hysterical song about them, where they...

'Art of the Steal' an elitist manifesto
Don Argott’s documentary “Art of the Steal” focuses on the embroiled battle over the Barnes Foundation and its amazing gallery outside of Philadelphia in Lower Merion.
The gallery, which is also a school, was started by Dr. Albert C. Barnes in the first half of the 20th century after he developed a taste for the Post-Impressionist art of Renoir, Degas, Matisse, Picasso, and...

A rant about the state of pop music
Sex is the main topic in most popular songs. It’s mentioned directly or implied and we have all come to accept this sexualization of culture, despite the fact that we know young children not only listen to the songs on the radio but are influenced by them.
I’m really discussing this because, at least in my well-rounded pop culture knowledge, male artists have, in the past, been the...

KP on Canada
I think there’s a reason that hockey is on the waiting room t.v. in a hospital on Montreal, Quebec. It’s calming; a way for nervous family members to think about something they love almost as much as their sick mother or father.
The game on also happens to be the Boston-Pittsburgh match-up. Sidney Crosby, captain of the Penguins, is coming off scoring the winning goal in the Olympic...
Porn - My Favorite Indulgence
We all have our secret kinky desires such as writing fanfiction, secretly playing online scrabble at work, stalking Zac Efron or pursuing 16-year-olds. My secret kinky desire as a skinny, athletic health freak is looking at food. Yes, to me it is better than porn. In fact, I consider it a form of porn. It’s something I want, but because of my lack of tangible cooking skills (I’m pretty...
Here'a little Spring Break Gem.. →
I had a great fake birthday last night, complete with 21 cupcakes and a bit of debauchery. Waking up to find my apart-mates gone for spring break was sad though. After dwelling on that for roughly 15 seconds or so, I was overjoyed when I realized it was time for : THE FINAL COUNTDOWN. Well maybe not final exactly, but the Countdown to Spring Break in MIAMI! While I plan on keeping...

The Biebs meets the sobbing 3 year-old (and is... →
In case you’ve been living under a rock or are continuing to pretend you don’t love the Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber, Cody, a three-year-old little girl was filmed by her mother sobbing over the 16-year-old Bieber.
When her mother asks why she’s crying, Cody responds amidst tears, “Because I haven’t seen him all day.”
The video ends hysterically when...
Things That Are Funny with Bobby →
Okay, I know this video is a little outdated, but this is coming from a guy who didn’t know that a kid crapped his pants sophomore year of high school until two years later. I mean, he literally pooped himself in school. He was ridiculed for weeks. And I completely missed it—just like I missed the “Total Eclipse of the Heart” Literal Video adaptation.
For those of you not familiar with the...

Wilde Pop Culture References: Disney Edition
The Disney Channel must be wiretapping us.
Let’s begin by saying that we dubbed our apartment as “The Wilde” because of Oscar Wilde, a figure we most admire. And because it provides a creative array of cliches and puns.
Disney Channel’s latest original film, “Starstruck”, stars the adorable Sterling Cooper as Christopher Wilde, the newest and biggest teen...
