Used by Boy George to describe Rosie O'Donnell when he was obviously hungry for publicity.

negative: Ellen Degeneres is such a pottery barn lesbian. She needs to be gayer on her show.

positive: Rosie O'Donnell is a pottery barn lesbian. She's comfortable enough with her sexuality but it is not the only thing that defines her.

Anna Wintour

Editor of the American version of Vogue magazine. She is the the skeletal woman without a soul who inspired the book "The Devil Wears Prada." She is the stereotypical evil, controlling bitch boss. Her exact opposite would be the far nicer and far more successful Oprah. She is proof that money and designer duds can't hide the lack of class. Her evil ways are often revealed by her workers. She has been famously pelted with red paint for wearing lots of fur.

Anna Wintour made her staff take down all the holiday decorations that they worked hard to set up.

Did you see the picture of Anna Wintour getting pelted by peta supporters? It was in the middle of the frickin summer.

Cosmopolitan magazine

also known by some by "Cosmo" and "women's Bible"

magazine for the 18-35 mostly Caucasian female population, though teens and pre-teens read it as well.

teaches virtues and life lessons like "90 ways to please your man" and "How to make men want you."

can be incredibly funny, ridiculous or offensive depending on one's perspective.

has single-handedly set a particular type of woman back many years, defining women solely by their relationships with men.

I didn't renew my Cosmopolitan magazine subscription because the message it sends is horrible.

I read Cosmopolitan magazine every month. It's the only reading I do. Because of Cosmo, I can now give amazing blow jobs and dress to impress men.

V Day

V Day or Vagina Day is a day established by Eve Ensler, author of the Vagina Monologues, to end domestic violence and sexual abuse of women. It is celebrated on Valentine's day and many communities put on plays from parts of the Vagina Monologues or additional stories related to orgasms, menarche, first sexual experiences, sexuality, molestation, rape, etc. They express what a vagina would say if it could talk. Proceeds from the plays go towards centers for domestic violence and rape preventions.

On V Day, I went to see the Vagina Monologues in New York. Whoopi Goldberg, Gloria Steinem, Rosie Perez, Kate Winslet, Glenn Close, Cate Blanchett, Susan Sarandon, Winona Ryder, and Lily Tomlin. It was hilarious, sad, heartbreaking, and eye-opening.

Her work is somewhat rooted in her history as she was raped and physically abused by her father as a child.

Eve Ensler is a great role model for rape survivors.
