The pearl-clutchers at the MTA have a big, sex toy-shaped problem on their hands.

Dame, which makes precisely engineered sex toys for women, is suing New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) for rejecting its advertising campaign. 

“The vague and sexist reasons behind the MTA’s refusal to show our ads are not only barring many businesses like ours from growing their companies, but their censorship is a violation of First Amendment rights,” Alexandra Fine, CEO and co-founder of Dame Products, told Mashable.  

The lawsuit claims that while the “MTA has previously welcomed advertisements that celebrate human sexuality,” its rejection of Dame’s female pleasure-centric campaign is a violation of the company’s right to free speech, due process, and equal protection under the law. Read more…

There are few things more nostalgic — and often, wildly grotesque — than combing through dated recipes.

Maybe the thought of Milk Chicken, a vintage recipe involving roasted chicken, banana, milk, and eggs, gives you joy, not nausea. Perhaps you long for the days when your grandmother made Lime Cheese Salad, a delightful combination of Jell-O, cottage cheese, and seafood.  

Either way, your most debased and nostalgic food favorites now have a home on r/Old_Recipes, a new and popular subreddit dedicated to people’s favorite vintage recipes.

Buying makeup is a commitment — how do you know if you really want to spend upwards of $40 on lipstick if you aren’t even sure you look good in it?

Oh happy day, indeed.

Singer and rapper Lizzo channelled the classic ’90s Whoopi Goldberg sequel, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, for her performance of “Juice” at the 2019 MTV Movie and TV Awards on Monday.

To begin with, Lizzo took the stage in the same kind of choir robes as Lauryn Hill’s character, Rita Watson, during the film’s final performance of “The Hymn of Joy” at the All-State Choir Championship.

She then included an iconic offstage moment straight from the film. “Your teacher says take off your robes,” a stage manager tells the students waiting in the wings in the movie, as did one to Lizzo’s backup singers at the MTV Awards.

“Fuck the Calabasas mansions, I just bought a town,” Daniel said during a phone interview. Read more…
