Halloween weekend is just around the corner and that means at least three to four nights of celebration. Awesome, right? What it really means is three to four nights of having to find different costumes and on each night you are faced with the ultimate question, “should I go slutty?”(Plus having some back-up costume options for the likely case that someone else is wearing the same costume as you, of course).
For guys, coming up with Halloween costumes is easy; recycle from last year, come up with a clever title for anything that allows you to wear a jacket, find some way to expose your muscles, make up any excuse to grow out your facial hair. It almost does not matter what you wear as long as you are not dressed up as a hotdog or some other hard-to-dance-in-costume on a night that you are trying to hook up with someone (or some people).
When it comes to girls, sorry, Halloween costumes are not so simple. The choice between dressing up in a non-original, slutty costume and a clever, non-revealing costume is a tough one. Extensive research results show, however, that you will get just as much play wearing sexy lingerie topped with bunny ears as you will wearing a Bob Marley t-shirt and a pot on your head. On the other hand, if you do not have a lot going for you other than a smoking bod and aren’t actually clever enough to come up with a funny costume that is still kind of cute, you might want to stick with the tried and true method of dressing like a total, unoriginal slut (i.e. devil/angel, firefighter, police officer, small animal, nurse, schoolgirl, etc.) because, after all, it is the one night of the year where (almost) no other girls can say anything about it.

‘Bongs and Thongs’ Still in Progress
If you’ve been strolling around East Liberty Street near Fourth Avenue recently, you may have seen where the new head shop/sex store, ‘Bongs and Thongs’, was supposed to open at the end of this past July. However, construction of the retail store has been halted due to a zoning issue that concerns its product. The city ordinance forbids the sale of “devices of simulated human genitals or devices designed for sexual stimulation” in that particular district of downtown Ann Arbor.
Right off the bat, you would think that the real issue with opening this store would be what the ‘Bongs’ part of the title entails; but apparently that is not the case. Ann Arbor is known for its quirkiness and general liberal environment; full of unique Ann Arbor townies, farmer’s markets, vintage stores, clothing boutiques, the ‘Safe Sex Store’ right off campus, as well as a number of other eccentric establishments scattered throughout Kerrytown and downtown. The addition of ‘Bongs and Thongs’ fits in quite nicely with the accepting atmosphere that the locals and students alike have embraced here in Ann Arbor. The city and their ordinances that keep stores like ‘Bongs and Thongs’ from opening and bars such as ‘5th Quarter’ and ‘Studio 4’ (currently under the name of ‘Dream Nite Club’) from operating are, in the words of Harry Potter, “riddikulus!”.
Finishing construction and finally unveiling ‘Bongs and Thongs’ as a retail option for those shoppers who grimace at the thought of trekking across the Diag from the ‘Safe Sex Store’ to ’42 Degrees’ (because, let’s face it, their selection is much better than ‘Smoka Hookah’) will be a light at the end of a long tunnel. The introduction of an alternative to the ‘Safe Sex Store’ will be a welcome change to sexually active/curious/bored students and locals. In accordance with the stipulations about their merchandise, ‘Bongs and Thongs’ (when it eventually opens at 119 E. Liberty Street) will feature: hookah products, hand-blown glass tobacco products, hose cleaners, decorations, incense, posters, games, massage lotions and oils, body jewelry, party supplies, lubrication and beauty supplies. ‘Bongs and Thongs’ – the name says it all.

Perfect for the Pickiest Dater
The life of a college student or recent graduate is busy and full of stress during these tough economic times. Finding a job should be the greatest challenge you face today – not finding a date. Luckily, this competitive job market and struggling economy are coupled with the introduction of a new kind of dating website; the ability to specify what university you prefer your partner to come from, what subject they major in (or teach?!), and even what type of relationship you are looking for (one-night-stand, actual dinner date, potential boyfriend/girlfriend, someone who actually wants to talk to you other than your therapist, etc.) is finally at your fingertips. Most importantly for eighteen to twenty something year olds when it comes to online dating is…having no one find out that you are online dating! Nothing is sadder then all of your friends finding out about your JDate and eHarmony accounts; so even though you clearly created them because you’re looking for a wider range of people to hook up with, it’s still frowned upon. Yet, it’s totally socially acceptable for you to wear your hottest, sluttiest outfits out on a thirsty Thursday night at Dream when you are looking to get some but when you try finding some potential hook ups online – it’s just not cool.
Cut to – the introduction of DateMySchool.com onto your social radar here at Michigan. Going to the same old bars and seeing the same old people is getting tired; it’s time for a change that will make a difference. Recycling to save the environment is really “in” right now; recycling through all of your friends’ past hook ups, on the other hand, is not. It’s time to widen the selection of potential hook ups without making a huge effort to expand your social scene or take time away from more important things. If you thought Facebook was revolutionary; this could be the next big thing.

Rules of Hooking-Up in College: Who's Acceptable?
It’s always been clear to both sexes that hooking up with a younger girl or hooking up with an older guy is acceptable. Research actually shows that older men who father children with younger women increase the lifespan of their offspring. From an evolutionary standpoint, older men represent security and a multitude of resources to eligible younger women so it is no surprise that the practice of older men dating younger women has become a common occurrence.
In terms of college life, a freshman guy starts out at the bottom of the hook-up hierarchy and has the next four years of chasing tail to look forward too because their pool of options continues to grow. Every year new classes of freshmen girls arrive to replace the last class; creating the image that hot, new girls keep arriving on campus while you, as a guy, get progressively more filled-out and more attractive to the young, naïve coeds.
But what about when those coveted freshmen girls enter into their sophomore slump? Or when they eventually become SENIOR GIRLS?! The selection of girls for college guys is constantly growing while the selection pool for college girls quickly becomes an evaporated puddle. As a college coed makes her way up the ranks in college, she has two acceptable options: lockdown a boyfriend within the first two years as an underclassman or start dipping into the pool of younger college boys.
Five Rules of Robbing the Cradle:
1. Don’t go back to their dorm or their fraternity house – too many other younger guys there will see you and you DON’T want to get a reputation as that-older-girl-that-gets-with-all-the-younger-guys
2. Unless you really like the young fella, keep strict hook-up etiquette – no dates, nothing but late-night texts, and avoid seeing them during daylight hours at all costs
3. If you plan on nabbing a freshman boy before he gets a bid to a frat, BEWARE: Your frat star ex-boyfriend could end up turning your NEW boyfriend into dead, (not fresh), meat– and you’ll probably get mocked for it at skeeps
4. DON’T keep mentioning his age difference during your hot and (somewhat) shameful hookups. Like a pink elephant in the room, there is no need to mention the fact that while you are driving your friends’ cars from your apartment to Hillers to get your meals, he is taking the bus from Bursley to MoJo to get his
5. Keep his phone number. In five years, hooking up with him might have actually become acceptable
Regardless of society and evolution frowning upon older girls hooking up with younger guys, nothing can spoil the fun of hooking up in college. When in doubt, everybody looks the same in the dark (just make sure they are over eighteen).

Where in the World is a Big Carmen San Dickago
An interesting article caught my eye today about penis sizes around the world. If you’re looking to study abroad or visit, let’s just say Asia for example, you should know that they have, on average, the smallest penises in the world. For a guy, that could be great – you’ve never looked more endowed in your life. Congrats! For a girl, however, it might be something to take into consideration.
Additionally, it seems as though the expression “once you go black, you never go back” may be based on truth. Africa, on average, is home to some of the largest human, male penises in the world.
If you’re interested in further exploring another factor that can weigh into your next vacation destination or study abroad location, check out the link and learn more about penis size around the world.

Still hungover? Another St. Party’s weekend DONE
We got decked out in green clothes, drank green beer that colored our teeth, ate green tortillas at Panchero’s, and danced our little leprechaun butts off. Now, the weekend of reckless partying is over…so what’s next?
The festive air and loose attitude of St. Patrick’s Day in college brought about many hook-ups and action getting days/nights. In the wake of the craziness, are several date parties and last chances of trying to hook-up with that special someone you’ve been eyeing before finals start and you stop going out as much. Take advantage of the metaphorical seeds you planted over the weekend and ask someone to your date party. Text them before you go out at night and see if they are too. The going-out opportunities at school are numbered. Carpe noctem.

Sexy Song of the Week
A sexy song is a song you like to grind to. A song you like you to drop it low and bring it up slow to. To get really close and bump and grind to.
A song you like to have intense, dry sex in public to.
This week’s sexy song of the week is a classic number by the suave R. Kelly: Ignition (remix). It’s not so subtle hints about putting the key in the ignition really get people’s motors running with its smooth beats. It is a classic song that people grind/make-out on the dance floor to, which makes it our sexy song of the week.
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.
