Meet the beanie. Last September, Stephen Jones’ veiled beanies for Jil Sander started cropping up all over the streets on the heads of models and fashion insiders.

I am a self-diagnosed foodie (although let’s be honest, who isn’t these days).

Dental dams, a sheet of latex designed to be a barrier between you and your partner’s genitals during cunnilingus or analingus, aren’t the most accessible safer sex products. They’re $1 a pop at the SHRC, and they’re not even carried at Drugsmart or the two Shopper’s Drugmarts close to campus.
