Meghan Trainor – “NO” Music Video

Leave a comment
Meghan Trainor of "All About that Bass" fame premiered a music video for her new single "No" today. "No" chronicles the tale of a young woman at the club who's being courted by a plethora of men who just can't take NO for an answer. Trainor has come under fire for giving mixed messages in her music, is she promoting female empowerment with hits like "Bass" and "Walkashame"? Or she is mocking the feminist movement with songs like "Dear Future Husband" and "3am"? Trainor has previously stated that she did not consider herself a feminist, but has since grown into the issue, stating:
“That was me at 20. I hadn’t read enough about it. I’d been told: ‘Don’t say you’re something if you don’t know what it is.’ So I was like: ‘Well, I’m not a feminist,’ because I didn’t really understand it and then I was like ‘Oh, s**t!' Obviously I am a feminist. My songs are women’s anthems across the board. Some people don’t get it, and I’ve had girls on Twitter writing: ‘I hate you,’ and calling out some of the lyrics that I wrote.”
So she was 20 and made an uneducated statement and has since educated herself, kudos for admitting your faults girl! There are many young women in the public eye that don't consider themselves feminists because it's an unpopular term with a lot of negative connotations, but that's another article for another time. For now I leave you with some stills from the video. Though I have to admit, I'm getting a bit of mixed messages myself between all these outfits and dance moves. What is this long gold jacket? Why are these ladies in this electric plant? What is happening with this fishnet Bob Fosse number? I'll just chalk it up to being too old to understand pop music anymore...

10 Things to Say to Men Who Tell You to Smile

Stop telling Hillary Clinton to smile!

Why are these male pundits telling Hillary Clinton to shout less and smile more?

Posted by Fusion on Wednesday, March 16, 2016
Since Hillary has been a front-runner for the Democratic Nomination there have been lots of news covering her that, well, doesn’t really have anything to do with politics as much as it has to do with her being a woman in politics. What happened with her recent victory has been noted in the video above and shared over a number of news sources. But what’s happening to HRC goes beyond just her, it speaks to a “cat-calling” culture that has embedded itself across the world in various forms. Being a woman and being told to smile happens constantly, across the country, and as a woman in New York, the city of resting bitch face, it happens to me constantly. Now you can always choose to ignore a cat-caller by remaining silent, however if you find yourself particularly annoyed with rubbing Vaseline on your front teeth to keep your lips from covering your sexy teeth, here are 10 things you can say to a man who’s telling you to smile:
  1. Say, "Tell me a joke: [insert insult here] funny man, clown, jackass, ect..."
  2. Start smiling like an insane person, extra points if you can start drooling from the side of your mouth.
  3. Say, "That's what I told your mom after I went down on her."
  4. Growl and start chomping in his direction.
  5. Say, "You're right I just killed my husband, I should be happy!"
  6. Say, "You would be much more handsome if you didn't speak."
  7. Bite into a blood capsule you have stashed at all times and then give them a bloody grin.
  8. Start crying and say, you're dog/mom/dad just died, you lost your job, you got diagnosed with VD, ect...
  9. Say, "I'm being like Posh Spice, because smiling gives you wrinkles and no man wants a prune face after all, so I just got angry-face Botox and now I'm stuck like this. Who's your favorite Spice Girl?!"
  10. Do as Abby and Ilana do...

What a year it's been! 2010 was Radioactive Cookies' inaugural year and I think we did a pretty great job! Since it's inception on February 24, 2010, RadCooks has received almost 30,000 hits and I couldn't be happier! In honor of the New Year, we of course need to recap all the amazingness of 2010. So here's a best of list that'll make you laugh, cry and probably cringe. 5 Most Visited Posts 1. PHAT GIRLS: 25 Hot Full Figured Women In Hollywood: All you skinny bitches can move aside because 2010 was the year of the big girl!

VAJAZZLE With A "J" & VAGAZZLED aka Swarovski Pubes: Let's not forget my Vajazzled posts! The pair, tied for 5th place were some of my very first posts! Though I can't take all the credit, I have to give a shout out to Bryce Gruber who took one for the team and had her lady garden bedazzeled on camera! MissBleecker's Top 5 Posts 1. KATY PERRY: The Ironic Feminist: Who could forget my massive and incredibly late Katy Perry post? Not only was this one of my most extensive posts but it was also one of the funnest. Let's not forget it introduced Prof.PurplePants! 2. CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S "NOT MYSELF TONIGHT": A Lesson In Radical Feminism: One of my top rated posts, NMT was a great song that I felt was seriously underrated. And of course, I'll always have a spot in my heart and on my glob for my #1 girl Christina Aguilera! 3. AUTO-FELLATIO: Sampling Your Own Pancakes: Oh auto-fellatio, you almost made it into the top 5!

Let's not have the same fate for Oscar Watch 2011! 3. MissBleecker Goes To Washington: I was on a bus for 10 hours in one day, I missed all of my friends, I wore cookies on my breasts, and I came home to keep the party going for Halloween as Ke$ha and you still didn't read my post?! 4.

Check them out to see what personality type is your best match according to me! 5. “THE RUNAWAYS” REVIEW: Men, You Can’t Stomach This Kind Of Gore: Now I will admit, having seen The Runaways, it was not the best movie of the year, it wasn't the worst either. It just didn't get much recognition either way, as my review did. However, I attended a screening with Joan Jett and she had some insider scoop that any rock 'n roller would love to read! Well there you have it, the Best Of RadCooks Lists 2010! I hope you all had a great year! I can't wait for 2011, I'm sure it'll be as disastrous a year in pop culture as 2010 was!

A Feminist’s Guide To Clubbing

Leave a comment
Let me just go on record with saying that I HATE clubs! I think there's nothing more vile than a bunch of drunk bridge and tunnelers rubbing against one another in adorned t-shirts to bad remixes of played out songs in seizure inducing strobe light. With that being said, I somehow found myself at a club this weekend and it brought me back to a time in my life (that I'd rather forget) of when I was a club rat. Yes I know, it's shocking but true. I never really dug the club scene, it was more the dancing I liked, and when I was a younger thing, boy did I like me some dancing. So as I was sitting in this loud, throbbing club, getting a lap dance from three beautiful men at the same time (what can I say? That's how I roll), I pondered to myself, how had I done it and managed to keep my dignity? Let's explore this with the age-old 5Ws & an H! How To Drink? Now for most of the people I know, the general consensus is if you want to enjoy a club you need to be drunk (my freshman year of college testifies to this.) If you want to maintain your swagger and not be all bloaty (a problem if you're donning your Saturday Night Worst) then nix the beer, wine will just make you sleepy, cocktails are an arm and a leg, go with hard liquor... and lots of it! Side Note: I'm not encouraging anyone to get drunk... not unless you want to. Also: Flasks = Friends Who To Avoid/Befriend? Anyone with spiked/gelled hair... so all men in the club. Anyone who dances with their hands, unless they're from Europe. Bouncers. Other girls. Side Note: Girls that you did not go with are not your friends, stick with your own and don't stray from the pack. As for bartenders, they're good-looking for a reason, they want your money. Don't try flirting, they're too busy. Now who you want to be in with is the bathroom attendant, they've got the goods. As the night goes on people drink more and more and with the mixture of skinny bitches, vodka/crans and skin tight hoochie dresses the bathroom line will be long and they will run out of TP. Now unless you're willing to drip-dry, you've got to make friends with the bathroom attendant and she'll hook you up: TP, lollipops, cigarettes, condoms, a spanking paddle (I've been offered all of these.) Also, promoters, if you have a vagina, you get in for free. Now this goes in with drinking, you want hard liquor, who has that? Men who want to meet women get table service, you have to flirt for it, but you can hook yourself up with a free Grey Goose... or in one shameful case, slyfully grab a bottle of Captain Morgan from a group of machismos when they're not looking. I said it was shameful! Read more after the jump! Continue reading A Feminist’s Guide To Clubbing →

CHRISTINA AGUILERA’S “NOT MYSELF TONIGHT”: A Lesson In Radical Feminism

3 Comments
Cover art for Aguilera's upcoming album, Bionic.
Okay kids this is an educational post so Miss Bleecker is going to use her impending college degree to do a super, special, fancy post. Get ready to get schooled! Smarty pants language starting in... 3... 2... There is a strongly held belief that to be a radical feminist one must contradict all traditional aspects of feminitiy. In the Bleecker's opinion, the strongest feminist embraces her femininity. If you know mah homegirl Christina Aguilera, you know she feels the same way. There's been a lot of controversy surrounding the release of Christina Aguilera's latest music video, Not Myself Tonight. The main arguments involving the video are: that Aguilera is selling her sexuality for shock value and that Aguilera is copying other female artists. Both of these statements are true, but not for the reasons the online media explains them to be. Introduction: Aguilera's Feminist Manifesto Chapter 1: Aguilera's Music Video Anthology Chapter 2: Analysis Of The Not Myself Tonight Lyrics Chapter 3: Madonna: Holding Out vs. Putting Out Chapter 4: Freedom 90: Musical Bondage & Breaking Free Chapter 5: Sex and the City: When Is Sexuality Acceptable? Chapter 6: Beyonce: Getting Out Of Relationships Chapter 7: Lady Gaga: The Line Between Benefits & Heartbreak Conclusion: Getting The Mixed Message If you haven't seen the video don't even bother reading this post. But you really should watch the video. Probably the uncensored version too.

FOR MEN ONLY: Free Ways To Get Laid

They say we live in a world where chivalry has died, I say to they that chivalry is not dead... it's just in hibernation. We all want to be equal and as I see it, chivalry is a sort of cultural reparations for all the extra shit women have to deal with/pay for that men don't. I know, I know, it's tough to be a guy, the grass is always greener, whatever old saying you want to use, I know it's not easy being a man. As a woman, and an overall liker (I would have said lover but... you know) of men I want to help you get what you want... sex. Let's face it, in this economy it's tough to be in a relationship, it's even harder at the beginning of a relationship when a guy is expected to pay for every/most things. Those first few dates are clutch; we women know you guys are looking to score and, whether we like to admit it or not, we're testing you. The disconnect happens when a guy thinks he has to do big things to impress a woman. Here's a secret, we women (and when I say we women, I'm speaking on behalf of all Klassy women, because let's face it, you can't turn a whore into a housewife)... anyway, we women care more about small gestures that can mean a lot than big gestures that don't have any thought behind them. If you follow these guidelines, guaranteed*, you will make a big impression on that special lady of yours... which might make her a little easier. Just saying. Side note: Guarantee only applies to Klassy ladies, ie those who aren't going out with you because she feels bad for you, has nothing else to do, you wore her down and/or you're paying for her meal.

VAJAZZLE With A “J”

Leave a comment
So, I still don't know the correct spelling, Vagazzle or Vajazzle, Completely Bare, the spa that offers the service spells it Vajazzle, but refers to the service as "completely bare with a Flair." Regardless, the first Vagazzle/Vajazzle post is by far my most popular, sickos! And so, in honor of that ill-fated post I shall give the people what they want! Below is the original video of Jennifer Love Hewitt on George Lopez talking about her Disco Ball! Completely Bare is a spa, with 3 locations in Manhattan and 1 in Scarsdale (random.) The Vajazzling treatment itself will run you $115, but before you're able to encrust your cooter with crystals you'll need to plow you're lady garden; a completely bare Wax (a thorough wax removing everything, front to back) will run you $82. Which means you can drop almost $200 on your vagina in one visit to the Completely Bare Spa, not including numbing cream (which for some reason costs extra!), tax and tip (tip well!) I said in my last Vajazzle post that I was on the fence as to whether or not this was a good idea; I've since formulated a thought! I think women should get Vajazzled! Since I don't think vajazzling is something women do strictly for men, I think it's something only a woman can truly enjoy, I would definitely do it! Vajazzling is a feminist expression, celebrating the vagina! So go on girl, frost yourself (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days reference)! And for the rest of you sickos out there, I know this is what you really wanted, PICTURES! Feast your eyes!

I Guezz We Know What My Kidz Will Be Reading…

"Spratz" is a literary magazine that teaches children about misogyny, discrimination and how to be a Class-A Feminist! I guess this is some play on those creepy Bratz Dollz. Why does everything nowadays have to end with a "z?" Where was this when I was growing up? All I got was a 3 year old "Hightlights" magazine when I went to play with my shrink's marble maze. Speaking of, was I the only one who went to a shrink solely to play with the toys? Seriously?! My mom never bought me sock-em-bop-em robots or a Barbie Jeep. If you find what I'm saying odd, the baby shrinks might only be a Manhattanite phenomenon. We love to fuck up our kids and pretend to fix them! That being said, I totally plan on having my kids read "Spratz!" They must learn from an early age there's more to a woman than blonde hair and big tits... and it usually involves peroxide and water bras. Ladies, you know what I mean, men, sorry to ruin the fantasy. Via Jezebel
