The topless photos were designed to be as controversial as they were captivating. They succeeded in both departments and then some. But Thylane and her mother weathered the storm of criticism that followed this star-making turn and are back. Now Thylane is being heralded as the new Kate Moss. There’s a lot to this. She shares the same big-eyed naif qualities of Kate, along with a certain kind of doe-eyed, gangly-limbed appeal....

Now, before you turn up your nose at the ingredient list, I can’t say this enough: It really works! The chocolate chips add great depth of flavor. It’s that little something extra that makes your chili stand out from all the rest.

See a few more images of this clever little garden project below: Linsey and her husband drilled holes in the bottoms of the crates and on the platform they salvaged from her husband’s office to allow for drainage. They then filled the crates with soil and plants. Lettuce and salad greens are super easy to grow. Don’t these look positively edible? In a follow-up post, Linsey details how she and her sister went back and lined the raised platform with aluminum flashing to protect it from water damage....

I wanted nothing more than to eat a home-cooked meal after too many nights of takeout, but I was soooo tired. That’s when an amazing friend dropped by with just that — only she made it, and I didn’t have to. It may well have been the single best meal of my life — both because I was so grateful for it, but also because it was the most amazing potato soup ever....

The layered look is still wildly popular for Fall 2010, so it’s probably time you learned the right way to wear layers — especially if you’re curvy. From both a fashion and a frugal standpoint, I love this layering technique that Anthropologie is demonstrating above, taking a summer dress and adding layers to make three more warmer autumn and winter looks. But there’s one small problem. The model is super thin....

In an interview with Mic, Lingerie Addict blogger Cora Harrington claims that the larger your breasts are, the more you pay for a new bra. Chantelle Crabb, the communications manager for Curvy Kate, agreed. If you want to do your part in bringing down the average cost of bras, get measured. According to a Curvy Kate survey, most women that get professionally fitted are a 34G, which means that if all of those women banded together and showed that there was a demand in the market for “larger” bras, they would be produced more and that would drive the cost down....

After a family’s Elf on the Shelf almost burned down their home, the Dublin Fire Brigade shared a scary photo of the scorched toy for an important reason. “Close one for this #ElfOnAShelf after she ended up on a lamp,” they captioned the photo. “The Elf resisted heat for 40 minutes. Keep all decorations away from heat.” More from CafeMom: Mom Shares Urgent Hatchimals Warning After Her Girl Suffers Chemical Burns DubFireBrigade/Twitter Yes, it’s a pretty great feeling when you come up with a fabulous new idea for your kids’ beloved Elf, but don’t take a chance near lamps, lights, or candles....

Pamela Madsen, author of “real-life Fifty Shades of Grey” memoir, Shameless: How I Ditched the Diet, Got Naked, Found True Pleasure…and Somehow Got Home in Time to Cook Dinner, says she has been on a “fabulously funny, sexy, wonky and totally amazing journey through a world that so many people just whisper about.” She is a real woman — a wife and a mother — who is also a submissive to a man — not her husband — who she calls “The Blue Flame....

The litter boxes live in my unfinished basement — away from the living space — and with the nice weather, it was time to throw open the basement windows and do a major clean. Time to tote out the mouthwash. Yes, I said mouthwash. Although we (read: my husband) do a litter box change-out weekly, we also try to do a quarterly scrub-down of the boxes themselves. And thanks to a tip from a nurse who used to clean out bedpans in a hospital, I now use cheap mouthwash to do the job....

My third trimester was no cake-walk. My feet were swollen, my back hurt, I was out of breath all the time … but I wasn’t disabled, thank you very much Mr. Subway Announcer Guy. I know you’re just trying to be nice, but still. I agree that mass transit riders should give pregnant women their seats … to be nice. The fact he mentioned disabled person and pregnant woman in the same breath irked me....

Whether you choose to breastfeed exclusively, pump exclusively or mix it up, travelling can sometimes post a challenge to your normal routine: Where should I breastfeed? Can I actually pump in the airplane bathroom? Can I just whip it out and let my kid have it in the middle of the train station? There are a few tips that can make things easier on you while you travel, no matter how you choose to feed the little one....

If you said option C, give yourself a hand. You’re not the helicopter mom who posted a batpoop insane Craigslist ad in the “casual encounters” section recently, searching for her son’s rapist first sexual conquest. Discovered by Gawker, the ad, which appears to be legit, advertises for a 19- to 20-something sexually experienced hottie with zero morals (OK, I added that part) to “accidentally” run into the poster’s 18-year-old son at a concert, then take him somewhere so they can get it on....

And they’re pretty epic. The solid lipsticks, says Jeffree, have been in the works for a while now. “In 2013 when I quit music and was going through my “What the fuck am I gonna do with my life” stage, I started to develop a stick lipstick with my lab.” But the liquid lipstick formula was finished first, so he launched Lip Velours instead. The Lip Ammunition line will launch with ten shades, all of which are vegan and cruelty-free, and have two separate formulas....

Thankfully, researchers have actually looked into how long couples spend between the sheets. In a 2005 study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, researchers had 500 couples from all over the world start running a stopwatch at the start of penile penetration and then hit stop at ejaculation. As it turned out, surprise, there was a whole lot of variation. The average time for each couple was 33 seconds to 44 minutes....

This concerns me. That’s why I think we could all use a little refresher course on how to tell if a guy is completely and totally not husband material. After all, there are plenty of telltale signs. Here, 30 of ’em … Sure, every guy is going to have his shortcomings, but if he’s most of the above, then he’s probably not worthy of being your hubby. Thank goodness for the fact that there’s a guy out there who is!...

“Hula-hooping or hoop-dancing is a great way to stay fit during and after pregnancy. Since there’s no impact on the joints, it makes the exercise safe for expecting women bearing additional weight on their bodies,” says Jennifer Giamo, NSCA Certified Fitness Trainer and owner of JG Fit, a New York City-based health and fitness company. Giamo shares more benefits of hula-hooping during pregnancy after the jump. A growing baby bump can cause pregnant women to feel off-balance and even cause a clumsy move or two — hula-hooping can help....

They’re both historically adored beauty names, and they’re both known for their extensive counter services. So, why not put them both the ultimate makeup challenge? I went undercover and had artists from Clinique and MAC give me a makeover — but not just any makeover. I had them both do my makeup for a big night out. Here’s what happened. I booked a 30-minute session, which is no longer an option available under MAC’s appointment selection....
