Remember Tyra Banks' "Kiss My Fat A**" moment that aired few years ago on The Tyra Banks Show?

Now, the famous model/actress/talk show host is telling critics that they can kiss her fit behind: She's shed almost 30 pounds since her angry 2007 outburst directed against tabloids that printed unflattering photos of her in a bathing suit and called her "fat."

So, how did she lose so much weight?

Do You Have Slow Sex?

November 4, 2009 at 11:00 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (4)

bedI laughed when I read this article about a woman who answered a text in the middle of having sex. But apparently texting during sex is more common that I thought: In fact, some studies suggest that one-fifth of us interrupt sex to read an email, take a call, or tweet.

Really, people? (Barring an emergency) what could possibly be so important?

Do Clean Smells Cause Clean Behavior?

November 3, 2009 at 3:35 PM by Cafe Kim - Comments (4)

clean towelsOne of my favorite smells is clean laundry right after it comes out of the dryer. Mmmmmmm...

As it turns out, my favorite smell might just inspire me to act more fair, charitable and generous than I would normally toward others. That's according to new research, which shows that clean smells promote moral behavior. Not sure if I buy it, but if it is true, I'm going to start wearing strong, "clean-smelling" perfume so that everyone around me acts ethically!

"Baby Lust:" Would You Lie About Contraception to Get Pregnant?

November 3, 2009 at 11:00 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (7)

There's an alarmingly high statistic floating around CafeMom of late:

Forty-two percent of women claim they would lie about contraception in order to get pregnant, regardless of the wishes of their partners.

In other words, women so desperately want a baby that they tell their partners are on birth control when, really, they aren't.

Most CafeMoms say they are not part of this 42 percent. In fact, they think this statistic is way too high...take our anonymous poll, then tell us what you think about the topic...
