NSFW Fun & Games: You Have a Vestibule!

NSFW Fun & Games: You Have a Vestibule!

This entry contains images that are not safe for work, which is silly given that we’re looking at medical images, but still, I don’t want you to get in trouble. Recently, Elyse went to the ob/gyn for a check under the hood, so to speak, and sent us a picture with the caption, “It’s staring right at me.” Ready? Good morning! So we all looked at the picture, rather pleased that the clitoris was labeled … Continue reading NSFW Fun & Games: You Have a Vestibule!

Romance Chairs. Literally, Romance Chairs.

I received a most excellent email from a librarian named Amy at the Dubuque Carnegie-Stout Library in Iowa. It seems they have a Chair-ity fundraiser, and one of this year's entries was completely awesome: My library is holding a chair-ity fundraiser and enlisted one of my co-workers to create a chair for the auction.  The final result is a chair I think the Bitchery would enjoy.  A…what? I had to ask – what is a chair-ity … Continue reading Romance Chairs. Literally, Romance Chairs.

Knitting Pattern: Smart Bitches Last Minute Neck Warmer

The holiday season is tough for me because I work in logistics, which means from October 1st to December 22nd, my life is a blur of chaos and two a.m. phone calls to make sure Wal-Mart gets their goddamned Dora the Explorer sheets on-time. If you get a Christmas present from me it’s either purchased in September or it's an Amazon gift card. And it doesn’t matter if you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Winter Solstice … Continue reading Knitting Pattern: Smart Bitches Last Minute Neck Warmer

(We won't tell anyone! Promise!) 

Romance Novel Reader Workout XVII

Featured image for Romance Novel Reader Workout XVII

The recent flood of articles about romance that can best be described as “dubious” means there is even MORE opportunity for working out. Here are MORE exercises based on those elements so frequently found in sketchy examinations of romance. Extra points if you do each exercise while holding one eyebrow up, AND giving the side-eye. Like the previous workouts, you can do all these exercises with a mat and your own bodyweight. No additional weights … Continue reading Romance Novel Reader Workout XVII

Romance Novel Reader Workout XVI

Featured image for Romance Novel Reader Workout XVI

There’s been a veritible cornucopia of articles about romance that raise a stunning amount of eyebrows, induce side eye, and create a wave of eyerolling. But look, eyerolling does not burn enough calories. We can do better. And though the writers of these articles don’t seem to be working too hard to reach accuracy, or anything in the same metro area as accuracy, that doesn’t mean we get to take it easy. We can take … Continue reading Romance Novel Reader Workout XVI
