Can they be any more insulting?

Read MoreMiss Bimbo
I am all in favor of shooting stupid people… Like the creators of Miss Bimbo, an online gaming site for young girls that encourages plastic surgery and extreme dieting to create the perfect figure for their character.

Read MoreGirls Can’t Bowl
Bowling is one of my favorite sports. I have no idea why, but I enjoy it. In fact, I was in a bowling league when I was in jr. high and high school. We were an all-girls team and we went all the way to state one year. I think we placed like third or…

I wanted to share this gem of a photo, released yesterday after being discovered in an old family photo album. It’s a portrait of a young Helen Keller, around eight years old, with her teacher Anne Sullivan at her side. It is said that this may be the only photograph of Helen with a doll.…
Read MoreMeet Trucker Pamela Febbo
The release of the Girls Can’t WHAT? Trucker design attracted female trucker Pamela Febbo to the site and I couldn’t resist requesting an interview with her. I mean how often do you see women truckers, let alone meet one? Pamela was kind enough to indulge my questions. GCW: What is your name, age and current…
