* The Daily Beast’s Tricia Romano declares Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafa a “post-racial commercial genius.” Commercial genius? Yes, ladies. Post-racial? Not so much, says Georgetown Girl.
* Liz at THE LINE writes about the problematic social imbalance between fraternities and sororities:
The social structure that we lock into as a sorority is, for lack of a better word, stupid. Here’s how it works: sororities are dry and fraternities are not. This means there is absolutely NO alcohol allowed in the sorority houses. If the fraternities host all the parties, decide who gets to come, and provide all the alcohol, who holds all the power? Frat parties can be fun –my friends and I are even known to take our costumes to the next level. But there is a problem with the structure because it promotes an unbalanced social scene.
* Help Holla Back DC! re-brand itself.
* Milk Nymphos star Lorelei Lee talks to Broadsheet about the importance of keeping her real name private:
While most of the fan mail that I receive is positive, I’ve also received a number of e-mails that have been pretty frightening. For my own safety, my professional name is the one that I use in every public context. There was never a need for my legal name to be revealed in open court. The prosecutor’s claim that using my professional name would give me an “air of legitimacy” was incredibly insulting.
