Save Up and Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Starbucks reported in January that they will be raising prices this year (tisk, tisk). As a result, many of us may need to start occasionally skipping that morning latte and what better way to save than with a cool, new piggy bank.

Well, we've found that for you in the Coffee Fund Money Box.

You can purchase the bank for around $8 here.

“…When you tell a kid that’s three years older than you to shove it, you’re going to get your ass beat.”

"Stop the Water" While Using THIS

According to NYLON Magazine, the new Stop the Water While Using Me line of skin and bath products is designed to do just that: conserve (and save) water.

The line will be released later this year and features toothpastes, shampoos, conditioners and facewashes (among more). Further, each bottle comes equipped with the brand's message (a.k.a. their name) to remind users of the environment and to not be wasteful.

Oh, and they're organic. So the question is:

Where do we sign up?

Crazy or Cool?

We'll let you be the judge of that.

Self-taught photographer Mariel Clayton creates all her work with a 35mm camera...using Barbie as a subject.

That's right: Barbie.

But not just ordinary Barbie, psychopathic Barbie (to be fair, sometimes Barbie doesn't look all that psycho in Clayton's work). Despite finding this art a little bit odd, we couldn't stop flipping through the site to see what Barbie would be doing next. After all, she was our favorite toy as a child.



Anyway, thoughts?

A wonderful feminist spoken word piece

Lauren Zuniga performs a poem for the Oklahoma legislators that are trying so hard to take away women's reproductive rights. The bill in question will require women to receive an ultrasound and listen to the baby's heartbeat before an abortion.

Tonight's Show: Feminism & Art

Tonight we're discussing feminism and art - two wonderful things that go together so well. We'll be interviewing local artist and feminist, Teresa Posyniak, whose art often features the female body. Her art also reflects her interest in women's issues such as domestic violence.

We'll also be discussing the upcoming feminist art show BODY / IMAGE. The show features art by local folks who explore issues of womanhood, the female body, body image, etc. in their work. The opening night of BODY / IMAGE is Thursday February 3 (7 - 9:30 p.m.) at the Marquee Room, and will feature performances by burlesque dancers, a drag king troupe, and spoken word artists. Admission is only $4 and all proceeds go to Take Back the Night - a grassroots feminist organization that raises awareness about violence against women.
