It's been a while. It seems while one of my original From Scratch monthly posts recapping the cockamamie advice of one Cosmopolitan Magazine has been good to me with a plentitude of hits, I have not been very good to it, throwing it to the wayside in exchange for copious amounts of Ke$ha posts. Well I'm sorry, to the Cosmo rag and RadCooks faithfuls alike. I was doing all over you, myself included, a disservice of massive proportions. But don't fret, my duties to the Sex Bible will no longer go untended. What's the change in attitude, say you? Well dear internet-mongers, it's Lent, and as a terrible Catholic and one who's never kept a Lent Resolution (what do you call what you give up for 40 days?) I've decided to turn over a new leaf. I'm not giving anything up this Lent, because that would be counter-productive, instead I'm going to do something. And what shall I do, you ask? I'm going to do reading! It's really quite shameful, I'm a writer, in and out, I write for fun, I write for leisure, I write for pay, I write because I'm always right but I don't read. So I'm going to, at least for the next 40 days (hopefully.) Today I'm reading Cosmo's April edition, cover to cover, even the monthly rape article. I know what you're thinking, Cosmo isn't real reading, well to you I say, baby steps, my friend. Tomorrow I'm hitting Freud's "Three Contributions To The Theory of Sex," but tonight, tonight I read about PC muscles and mildly kinky sex! Without further ado, here's your Cosmo Recap for April 2011 starring Tron: Legacy's Olivia Wilde! Cosmo Cover Girl: Olivia Wilde pg. 48-51 Birth Control Break Down: Why Your Method Sucks, Plus A NEW Condom & Morning After Pill! pg. 162-165 The Sexy Side Of Ovulation pg. 158-159 A Three-Step Guide To The Full Body Orgasm pg. 134 101 Things About Men: ORLY?! pg. 70-73 MacGyver Beauty Tips pg. 203-207 Your Hair Might Look Good, But It Can Also Give You Cancer! pg. 176 Read Olivia Wilde's full article below! ]]> https://www.radioactivecookies.com/cosmo-what-i-learned-in-april-2011/feed/ 0 3096 THE RAG TIMES: Halle on Vogue, Montana on As Is, Kim on Allure & Nicki on Black Woman!!! https://www.radioactivecookies.com/the-rag-times-halle-on-vogue-montana-on-as-is-kim-on-allure-nicki-on-black-woman/ https://www.radioactivecookies.com/the-rag-times-halle-on-vogue-montana-on-as-is-kim-on-allure-nicki-on-black-woman/#respond Fri, 20 Aug 2010 18:51:55 +0000 http://radioactivecookies.com/?p=1957 Continue reading THE RAG TIMES: Halle on Vogue, Montana on As Is, Kim on Allure & Nicki on Black Woman!!! ]]> Halle Berry: First Black Women On Vogue Since 1989
The September issue of Vogue, aka the most important issue of the most important magazine ever is featuring it's first black woman in 21 years. Halle Berry is only the second black woman to grace the cover of the September issue (Naomi Campbell was the first in 1989.)
Montana Fishburne on As Is Cover
May I draw your attention to the headline, which reads, "Montana Fishburne: Star of Porn Tape & Lawrence Fishburne's Daughter Says: "I'm Not Doing Shit To Him, But Fucking and Having My Career." Kla$$y!
Kim Kardashian On Being Skinny/Fat In Allure
Okay, I think I'm starting to get it. Kim wants to be an icon for curvy women but she back then she was just too damn fat. That totally makes sense.
Nicki Minaj Covers Black Woman Talks Gaga
Nicki Minaj is a hot new artist on the hip-hop/rap scene and is turning some heads with her wild style. In the most recent issue of Black Woman, which Miss Minaj covers, she talks about the comparison made between she and Lady Gaga.

ESQUIRE: What I Learned In May 2010 https://www.radioactivecookies.com/esquire-what-i-learned-in-may-2010/ https://www.radioactivecookies.com/esquire-what-i-learned-in-may-2010/#respond Tue, 20 Apr 2010 02:43:47 +0000 http://radioactivecookies.wordpress.com/?p=952 Continue reading ESQUIRE: What I Learned In May 2010 ]]> In the hopes to diversify my glob and in my neverending quest to understand the opposite sex, I've added Esquire Magazine to my monthly What I Learned recaps. I have to say, I'm very pleased with my first men's magazine purchase. Luckily, the first issue I decided to pick up of Esquire is the Women Issue, it must be fate. What I've learned about men's mags, just by flipping through the rag, I do it back to front (I know, I'm an anomaly) is that they're shorter than women's mags, probably because there aren't as many ads, Viagra replaces Plan B spreads and the articles seem to be shorter, more serious and... of course, written by men. I hope you all enjoy these few gems I've taken away from this month's Esquire, here's what I learned! Christina Hendricks' Advice To Men - pg 80
It's the most impressive drink order. It's classic. It's sexy. Such a rich color. The glass, the smell. It's not watered down with fruit juice. It's Scotch. And you ordered it.
Ejaculatory Force: Are You a Shooter or a Dribbler? - pg 46
It's basically like stepping on a hose. The older you get the bigger your prostate gets and it causes pressure on the ejaculatory ducts and then less pressure builds.
Surprising Statistics About Women - pg 76
14% of women masturbate everyday
Love Advice From Barney Stinson - pg 121
Studies have shown the best way to feign interest in what a chick is saying is to silently not your head to 'My Sharona.'
Female to Male Greeting Translator - pg 111
Ever wonder how her many greetings translate? Keep this guide on hand when she's being cryptic (ie using a subscribed greeting Esquire has arbitrarily given underlying meanings.)
What Women Expect From Men - pg 109
Random Expectation: "He should know how to whittle wood." (You what they say about wood whittlers...)
Men Love Lumberjack-y Women - pg 75
Apparently, you look best to use when you look like a man - specifically, a drunk lumberjack with rhythm.
Side note: Just in case you're wondering what Esquire means dictionary.com defines it as "an unofficial title of respect, having no precise significance, sometimes placed, esp. in its abbreviated form, after a man's surname in formal written address." Basically it's a fancy sounding, made up title given to make men feel better about themselves who haven't achieved MD/PHD/DDS status. For all you Christina Hendricks lovers, here's a gallery of America's #1 Fire-Crotch! ]]>

WHY MEN CHEAT: A Love Story https://www.radioactivecookies.com/why-men-cheat-an-idiots-story/ https://www.radioactivecookies.com/why-men-cheat-an-idiots-story/#respond Sat, 20 Mar 2010 17:01:32 +0000 http://radioactivecookies.wordpress.com/?p=647 Continue reading WHY MEN CHEAT: A Love Story ]]> Esquire published a story by an Anonymous Male (code name for Pansy) as to why men cheat. Pansy explains,
But men don't cheat because they can. Men cheat because they must, because they need to. This is the male struggle. Need compels us to try again. Because copulation is not in any way about fate. It is not about two individuals destined to meet on some dark night. It's about random collisions.
Pansy goes on to talk about what he thinks of a woman (specifically when he's doing her up against a soda machine... can you say romantic?)
And I know, believe me I know, that hell truly hath no fury like a woman scorned. I have made my mistakes. There are women who despise me. Women will never understand how men can cheat because they think of it in terms of themselves —as something done to them. They treat it as an affront first, as a breakdown in social order, then a wound, then a mortal wound. And this is a key. They do this because women are singular, in both their desire and their demands. This is why I serve women well. I treat them as planetary objects, individual and quirky, gravitational and unique. When I am with a woman, in a hotel or in her car, pressing her up against a soda machine in the stairwell, I let everything else fall away. I am with her without pretense, obligation, or fear.
Pansy you are so right. Women are such singular beings, I'm sure when you come home all your wife does is talk about herself, not ask you about your day, I'm sure she never cooks you dinner or washes your shorts, I'm sure she never thinks of you, only herself. That must be why you cheat, because you're not singular, yeah Pansy, you're deep, a fucking ocean of selflessness. You do serve women, serve away, I know I'm always up for a serving of dickhead. Jump to see how this article leads to a MissBleecker apology! (This is a once in a lifetime phenomenon folks!) Pansy then explains why his life is so perfect,
My local life is clean. I am more focused than they are. Stronger and better suited to what is near me —my family, my wife, my job. In some ways, that's because I don't hesitate to cheat.
Oh Esquire, Esquire, Esquire. I'm ashamed of you. How could you post such filth? This man clearly has deep emotional issues... probably related back to his mother. Now I know what all (and when I say all I mean the 7 people that will read this post) of you are probably waiting for me to start bashing men, ranting about how they're no good cheats and liars, but I won't do that. Oh trust, men are cheats and liars... but so are women. I've witnessed a lot of men cheating, but I've also seen it done by women, good women. Everyone has it in them to cheat, and over our lives the vast majority of us will do it at one point or another. We'd all like to think that we would never do something so terrible, so thoughtless, so selfish but there are always opportunities, and who are we to let an opportunity pass us by? The reason I'm not ripping into men because of this article is because this is one man, and while there are many, many men out there who share Pansy's sentiments, I do know that there are a few good men out there. So here's what I'm going to do, and maybe it's just because I'm having a good morning (it's after 1pm and I'm calling this morning) but I'm going to apologize to men for this godforsaken post. Yes, you read right, I'm apologizing to men! I'm sorry that you have to share a sex bracket with this asshole. This one dickwad is making it that much harder for all the nice guys out there to land some decent poon. We've all heard the expression, "nice guys finish last." And sometimes it is true, but this jackass is the reason. Women assume all men are assholes because the assholes in the crowd generally stick out more. So Pansy, wherever you are, I really hope your wife finds out you not only cheat but wrote a fucking article explaining why you "must." And when she does I honestly hope she cuts your fucking balls off. Is this the fury you were talking about? Anyway, when you say "men" in your article all you're really trying to do is rationalize your destructive behavior because at some point in your past a woman (maybe your mother) didn't love you as much as you loved her and now you strike out to get back at us, because you're really just a scared, sad, lonely little boy. Either that or you're gay. Either way Pansy, you give men everywhere a bad name, and I'm dedicating this song to you. Cheers! Let me know if you want more male oriented posts. I think it might be fun to do two What I Learned posts, one for Cosmopolitan, one for a men's magazine.
