Now this is the type of porn I can relate to.  I stumbled upon this gem from the Cambridge Women’s Pornography Cooperative (yes, that’s really their name) while lazily perusing the shelves of my neighborhood bookstore.  It’s basically a PG-Rated picture book of hot, mostly shirtless men holding adorable babies with quotes like, “so tell me again, what is the consistency of the poop?” or “sure, your girlfriends can drop their babies off here while you girls go to the bar” or “now, remember it’s my turn to do the midnight feeding – so don’t wake up.”  Pure genius.  If you are anything like me, there is probably a baby shower in your near future.  Skip the 3-pack of onesies next time and give the gift that keeps on giving – mommy porn.

Like it or not, you will be seeing a lot of leopard print out there this fall.  Here’s my Hot/Not guide to help you avoid any fashion disasters.  Done correctly, leopard can be striking.  Done incorrectly, you will end up looking like a cast member from the Jersey Shore.

Hot. Just don’t go too cheap or risk, well, looking cheap.

Not. Unless you are in a ski lodge or under 12 I think vests are hard to pull off anyways but in this horrid yellow print?  A definite no-no.  Stay away from all colored leopard.  I don’t remember seeing any hot pink leopards in the serengeti.

Hot. A very conservative and safe way to showcase your leopard.

Not. The model looks good in this top but it is much more difficult to pull off in person.  Do not attempt unless you like your age being estimated on the wrong side of 50.

Hot.  Clutch perfection.

Hot. Muted, neutral leopard print is always the way to go.

Do I really even need to say anything here?  If I see you on the street wearing the above disaster, prepare to be slapped.

I used to think that going ‘Raw’ meant condemning yourself to a lifetime of endless salads.  I’ll admit, that was a bit short-sighted on my part.  So, what is Raw?  It’s uncooked, unprocessed and unaltered food. Food in it’s purest and most nutrient rich form.  When you heat or ‘cook’ food, it depletes the enzymes.  Enzymes are important because they assist in the digestion and absorption of food.   If you eat food that is enzyme-less, your body will not get maximum utilization of the food. This causes toxicity in the body- ruh roh.  But enough with the lesson and onto the food.  Please note that taking on this entire menu if you are new to Raw would be rather ambitious.  My goal here is to show you a delicious and varying menu – without salad.  Enjoy the Raw spin on the classic burger and fries courtesy of Rawmazing.
