According to People Magazine, Jennifer Aniston is completing a “foodie tour of Connecticut”. Yet, she’s only been to Stamford and Greenwich. I don’t know what Jen is thinking… Literally get the fuck down to the Zoo Haven! Try out one of our fine eateries, like Educated Burgher, Sbarro in Union Station, or my personal fave Zeta’s Backyard Popeye’s. You’ve got nothing to lose (now that Brad Pitt’s gone), so come on down (or up?).

If you wanna be hip/cool/trendybutnotWetSealtrendy/etc. you have probably sworn off the Yale bookstore as a potential clothing retail outlet. The Yale Crocs are literally so dope, but everybody has them! From one hipster to another, let me gift you a lil secret. The most exclusively dank Yale gear comes from the internet.  More specifically eBay. More more specifically, the Thai Craft Warehouse.

You might ask yourself what a Thai warehouse where crafts are made has to do with Yale. And oh boy, let me tell you! TCW currently has 14,077 items for sale. They cover all the retail bases, with departments ranging from Fisherman’s Pants to Renaissance & Pirates. As you can see, TCW makes a lot of shit. The things that aren’t shit are made in Yale Blue.

My favorite of all the TCW products is the fresh 2 death Chinese Serving Girl Thick Thai Silk Sleeveless Sac Dress – Yale Blue sz XL. The material is a nice “synthetic silk with northern Thai theme”, so you know exactly what you’re getting. That’s what I like about TCW: they’re real. But don’t worry! They also have things for men and children. I plan on getting all of my nieces and nephews their very own Children’s Reversible Chinese Silk Gown Yale Blue sz L. Oh and my boyfriend? He’s getting a pair of Rayon Mao Elastic Waist Pants Hieroglyphs in Yale Blue. I just love it when he wears elastic waist pants. ;)

It’s the season of gift giving, with Mardi Gras and Purim and all, so bid away. But please don’t outbid me on the Yale Blue Cuban Revolution Army Cap Thick Thai Cotton. I just love the classic retail intersection of thick Thai cotton and Che Guevara.

It’s almost Spring Break 20!3, and your beach bod is currently hidding under layers of fleece and fat. If you’re going to hit the Miami beaches in a few weeks, you better get your Pilates mats out and your neon Nike running shoes on. To supplement over-exercising and photos of Adriana Lima (pre&post-motherhood) on your refrigerator, I’m giving you a guide to this season’s best detoxes and cleanses. Which one are you?

Paleo
You’re a down to earth bitch. I mean you’re just “one of the guys”, and obviously so down to chill. No guy has ever called you by your first name, so it’s super convenient that you have a short one-syllable last name like Macks. Can be seen getting swoll at Payne Whitney at 5:30 PM on a Tuesday. Stay calm, and be seen.

Vegan
You’re trying to get into the winter weight-loss game, but you don’t want anything too crazy. Did you know Oreos are vegan?!?!?! I’m tryna!

Raw
Last spring break you ran an outreach program to Costa Rica. It was awesome, because while playing soccer with the kindergarteners, you got certified as a Yoga instructor. Raw is already your life, but your two-week intensive cleanse means that you eliminate all nuts and seeds. And yes, unfortunately that means no almond milk.

Juicing
Alright TBH, you have bank. Your besties and all the guys you’ve ever hooked up with have all applied for internships at Goldman (B@rcl@ys — eww). You send in your own photos to Rich Kids of Instragram, all of which have over 2,000 <3′s. And if I’m really being totally H, I would guess that you neither have a juicer nor know what a juicer actually is. You don’t feel that guilty dropping a couple hundred dollars on a three-day juice cleanse though; it was on sale on Gilt. That money was your three-day Rubamba allowance anyway.

Master Cleanse
You wish you were Beyoncé. Let me clarify, you wish you were Beyoncé as Deena Jones as Diana Ross in Dreamgirls.

Water Fast
Okay, slutever.

Colon Cleanse
You’re willing to rent a Zip Car, drive to Branford for the afternoon, have an Eastern European woman stick a tube up your butt, all in the name of a hot bikini bod colon health. Basically you’re a bad bitch. You’re objectively too cool for New Haven, which is funny because everybody here wants to be your friend.*

*Okay, but contact jessica.sykes@yale.edu if you’ve ever gotten a colon cleanse. She would be infinitely down to have someone metaphorically hold her hair back for her first one.
