Have you ever screwed someone over, and yourself over, so completely and mercilessly you just know you’re going to hell? We’re talking slept-with-the-best-friend-of-a-man-you-could-have-potentially-loved. I could have fallen in love with Bassist. Wiry, confident, smirking with kisses like little tickles. Even in the short time we knew each other, I felt in [...]

I’ve never been the type of girl to fantasize about my future family and my white picket fence. For a long time, I didn’t even think I’d have children. I love taking care of children and have been nannying for years, but never saw myself nurturing my own. Babies sort of freak me out with [...]

I don’t consider myself to have impossible standards when looking for a potential mate. I value simple things, like honesty, empathy, and generosity. However, there are a few qualities a man must posses for my interest to be held; lucky for me, after much trial and error, I found someone who goes above and beyond [...]

…Not quite.

I am at Boston University studying opera, and will graduate with a BM in Vocal Performance. More than a few non-musicians have asked me what exactly I do at school. “Do you just sing all day?” “Do you break mirrors singing high notes?” “When do you actually start working on your major?” “You’re not [...]

I’m hanging out at home. I decide to indulge in a chocolate chip cookie and a tall glass of delightful, creamy milk. Not fifteen minutes later, I forget about my previous snack and go foraging for something else. I decide to make myself a fake Bloody Mary, using V8 and a lot of tabasco sauce. [...]

I remember the day my mother bought me my very own make up. I was in fifth grade, and had been sneaking experimentations with her lipstick and eye shadow for about a year. I don’t remember the reason I was deemed mature enough to begin my own make up collection, but one day after school [...]

You don’t have to be a Scout to always be prepared. Take it from someone who knows…there are a few key items every girl should have in her purse that will make waking up after a night of drinking a lot easier.
Condoms. You’re drunk. You’re horny. You go home with who you think to be [...]

Most days, I usually don’t bolt out of bed with a grin on my face. I grumble, I mope, I doze for another five minutes, until I finally drag my sleepy ass out of bed. However, once up, I make a bee-line for my laptop and make sure the following songs are playing:
1. “Zero” – [...]

Check out zooborns for more cuteness then you can handle.

And this is just plain silly:

Diggin’ this Mickey Avalon song:

No matter who does the dumping, break-ups suck and provide hours – if not days and months – of despair for one or both parties involved. Regardless of the reasons for the initial break-up, hearts are broken, enemies can be made, tears will be shed, nasty texts are sent, and you might just feel like [...]

I can never get enough of Dripbook…check out Nicoline Patricia Malina’s work here.

Miss Lucy Tonic provides us with the best information on everything music. She compiles the greatest play lists, introduces us to cool new music, publishes thoughtful album and concert reviews, and interviews rock stars. So what kind of person is Lucy? She acquiesced to answer a few of my silly questions.
Liv: What top five songs [...]

Girls, have you ever wanted to look like a real-life Barbie doll? Do you want your already-fantastic body pumped with Botox? Is your dream man the douchiest douche-bag of all time? Do you aspire to achieve fame by being a vapid, superficial attention whore?  Thank goodness we have Heidi Montag to teach us girls to have [...]

A beautiful video for a beautifully heartbreaking song.

Boston electronica artist Andre Obin’s video for “Cinnamon”

Boston doesn’t host the same spectacularly star-studded, haute couture saturated fashion week as NYC or Paris, for examples, but our week aims to feature the local industry and the big timers. The Betsey Johnson shop is a staple of Newbury Street, Boston’s premiere shopping district. On Wednesday, Sept. 30th, the design house took over Boston [...]

Bizarre, grotesque, obscene, erotic, fascinating, and beautiful; all words to describe Tyler Shields’ evocative photography and video portraits. The LA-based artist creates works of art inviting controversy and conversation, elbowing his way to the forefront of pop culture documentation. Shooting everything and everyone from Brittany Snow to inflamed Louis Vuitton handbags, Tyler’s avant-garde vision captivates [...]

Beautifully crafted piano lines complimenting the heartfelt, poignant vocals are just two of the reasons you should listen to Seattle-based indie band Barcelona. In honor of the band’s upcoming show at the Paradise in Boston this Sunday, Brian Fennell (vox, keys), Chris Bristol (guitar, vox), and Rhett Stonelake (drums) of Barcelona kindly answered my questions.

“Why do you love me?”
 
“I think it’s the way you love me back.”
 
“How so?”
 
“You know it’s indefinable, it’s simply it. It’s the way your mom shows me how to use the special spaghetti fork, and the way she yells at you in front of me, and the way she tells me to change your sheets. [...]

Read John’s vision of literary glory *here*.
Liv: Who would you… Fuck, Marry, Kill: Courtney Love, Madonna, Britney Spears
John: Kill: Courtney Love (sharing needles isn’t good in marriage nor intercourse)
Marry: Madonna (she’s got something like a trillion dollars, and I would definitely thump her on the skull right after she asked me to sign the prenup. [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, leave a comment using your name and real email address answering the following question…“WTF are these pictures of?!” (it’s all one thing, and hint: it’s not as gross as you might assume). The winner will receive The Neave’s undying admiration, fame and fortune, and, if you live in the Boston area, [...]

I feel truly blessed to live in New England and to reap the benefits of all four seasons. There is nothing like inhaling magnolia blossoms in springtime, sailing the ocean in a hot breeze in the summer, carving pumpkins and admiring the foliage in autumn, and skiing down powder slopes in winter. In honor of [...]

In honor of the weekend, let’s start it off right (or wrong) by learning what not to say or do (or what to do or say, depending on how you like your weekends.) Here are my ten favorite texts from last night (click here to visit the site), in no particular order, from the last [...]
