My Favorite Bisexual
Bi Visibility Day (aka Celebrate Bisexuality Day) was September 23. In fact, this entire week is Bi Awareness Week. I’m bisexual, so hi. And I want to talk about my favorite (pop culture) bisexual.
P-Mag’s Ultimate Cocktails: Woo Woo
I don’t really drink cocktails, unless we’re counting “whatever beer is in the fridge” as cocktails, so this might be less ultimate and more “slightly-above average for when you want to finish the vodka.” Read More P-Mag’s Ultimate Cocktails: Woo Woo
“How I Met Your Mother” and Bollywood
I’ve been watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix, which means I’m a season behind. Since I like being spoiled anyway, I’ve been reading Donna Bowman’s recaps at the AV Club, and have read every review of the series finale that I can get my hands on.

What follows is a highly subjective, woefully incomplete list of some of the coolest ladies on TV in 2011. Despite my best efforts, I can’t watch everything, and so I’m 100% positive I’m overlooking an unfortunately high number of badasses. Don’t view this as an authoritative list (what constitutes boob tube authority anyway?), but rather as a start to a list that can only get longer, better, and more diverse.
This is a collection of characters that are eminently watchable (and not in the Jersey Shore train-wrecktastic kind of way). They are independent, outspoken, and complex. They are flawed and hesitant and uncertain, but simultaneously bold, ambitious, and brash. They are the characters I identify with if only for that delicate and truly human combination.

This recap will be full of spoilers, so if you haven’t seen it, don’t click ‘Get the whole scoop.’ Even if you enjoy spoilers in general, this episode needs to be experienced with the actors, especially Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel, who I finally trust enough to write for my beloved Muppets. After last night’s episode, I’m an unconditional Segel fan for life. Read More Recap: How I Met Your Mother
