This past week has been oh so so sweet. With our February Calendar Girl and our Valentine’s Day style guide, there’s plenty of eye-candy to go around. We also have 60 More NSFW Lesbian Sexy Turn-Ons and a Television Free-For-All to satisfy some of your other cravings.
Speaking of things that are freakin’ sweet, Riese’s “Why Taylor Swift Offends Little Monsters, Feminists, and Weirdos” article grabbed the internet by its collar and shook some sense into readers everywhere! As if Jezebel’s write-up wasn’t awesome enough, Alex’s fabulous infographic went VIRAL on BuzzFeed, and we have over 500 comments! That’s a really big number, you little monsters – so big, it warrants it’s very own edition of HDYSTC!
That’s right, I’m working the Saturday shift to bring you a second round of awards. (I do this out of a love for you so pure, it makes Taylor Swift weep atop her majestic ivory tower.) As for this first round of awards… It’s pretty damn sweet, too. Every comment is a little gift, and you gave us a fuck ton of gifts this week. Like a glutton, I’ve sampled every morsel in our heart-shaped box of comments to find you the tastiest of all:

“I feel like there’s an age range where being shittered at a party, and walking in to somebody taking up the bathroom, the shower/tub totally becomes fair game. No? Just me?”
On Lady Gaga & Cyndi Lauper Talk Safe Sex on Good Morning America:
Downward Spiral Award to Vikki:
“No. It would end badly. The entire country would think he was trying to be a smarty pants and she would end up winning and, after her inauguration, I would have to move to Portugal where I would become a drunk because the wine is SO good there and then I would lose my job (doing whatever the hell I would be qualified to do in a language I can’t comprehend) and my girlfriend would leave me because of the drinking and my new ne’er do well persona and I would have to move back to the US and I’d be lonely and broke and Palin would STILL be the president which would lead to more drinking but I’d have to drink really cheap wine from a box and I’d then loathe both my country and myself. See. Nothing good would come of it.”
Life After People Award to Roxy2: “I think Palin winning the presidency was what the Mayans meant by end of the world in 2012.”

Teenage Kicks Award to Julia from MI on Turn Your Televisionary On:
“This tidbit gives greater substance to my intense love for Sam McPherson. Like, willing to accept all of her flaws including her matte lipstick collection and tendency to jump to conclusions before getting all the facts despite wanting to be a journalists kinda love.
Man, did my 13 yr old self want to make out with her. And maybe feel her up a little bit.”
