We're suckers for vintage photos of women doing cool things, so we were thrilled when Reddit user annamal shared this image of Dot Robinson, the "First Lady of Motorcycling," astride her 1939 Harley-Davidson EL Knucklehead.
When I lived in Paris on a study abroad program, I arrived with two enormous suitcases, filled to the brim with clothes. When my French host mother, Madame Chic, showed me my closet for the next six months, I was taken aback. It was a tiny armoire with around ten hangers hanging inside.
I was recently at a cocktail party, and as usual, the ladies were talking beauty (beauty products are women's version of sports; we can bond with total strangers over the best eyeliner or skin cream). A woman with flawless skin suddenly stopped the conversation with a powerful statement, "My BB Cream changed my life." I watched as the other women inspected her perfect skin. Then they all started talking at once, leaning in, demanding the details.

I'm not sure why shoes are so important to so many women -- especially those stiletto heels that jack you up, causing you to resemble a car having a back tire changed.

Beyonce's Pepsi commercial is pretty great.
But you already know this -- if you didn't spend the morning under a wifi-less rock, that is. The star sings, dances, takes us down fashion memory lane and engages in her general brand of awesomeness.
Braless, but not ringless! Miley Cyrus was all styles as she stepped out in L.A. on Wednesday, April 3 wearing a skimpy little black dress. As first revealed at X17, the 20-year-old "Can't Be Tamed" singer didn't appear to be wearing a bra and flashed some sideboob to photographers while heading into a recording studio.
