Men and Women can’t be friends… Sorry!

I love a good argument. It’s kinda bad. If I’m having drinks with friends it’s especially bad. It usually starts with a statement and I’ll find a side of arguing and won’t budge…even if there’s plenty of gray area in which I could compromise.  But no, arguing tends to be a sport for me: you either win or lose.

The point is I like to stir up a little controversy now and then. So hold on to your hats, because I have one to lay on ya…and I know at least half of you will disagree with me on this one.

An independent filmmaker went around Utah State asking people if men and women can be friends. After watching this video, I believe this guy is right: men and women can’t be just friends…

We’ve seen this answer to be true over and over in the movies: Friends with Benefits, No Strings Attached, Something Borrowed…the list goes on.

What do you think? What has your experience been with being just friends with guys (or even exes)?

P.S. (I actually concede to most things later…I’m really more open-minded than petty arguments, I promise).

guest blogger Claire has two words for you: Valentine Schmalentine

I knew there was something special about Claire Rodriguez when she wrote for us a while back, telling us about Mexico’s possible marriage “trial period.” She gets Pink Kisses, innately understands what we stand for and she even has special superpower: the ability to cheer anyone up.  It’s a crazy powerful thing, and you’ll see more of it as she continues to write for our blog.  She’s got some great perspective just n time for Valentine’s Day:

At this point, you can’t avoid it. There are floating red and pink hearts everywhere, the restaurants have posted their special V-day menu and the radio won’t stop suggesting what you should do (last minute) for your sweetie.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and I wanted to post a special note for you to get this commercial day off your back (with a little help from LaBelleVieDesign on Etsy):

Don’t let those shiny heart-shaped balloons get you down. There is nothing so incredibly special about this day that you’re missing out on. Besides, those balloons will be limp and lifeless soon anyway.

Take a cue from TODAY show’s lovely Kathie Lee:

“I’ve never loved Valentine’s Day. I think it’s kind of cruel…and I think it’s awfully expensive. You should be saying ‘I love you’ to that person in your life all the time. It’s just another time you have to spend money to prove to someone that you love them.”

It’s just another day. Share your love and care for the awesome people in your when you truly mean it or share a laugh over any other V-day gag gifts you might find. Who thought it was a good idea to give a flying baby in a diaper a bow & arrow anyway?

it’s fun fun friday: let’s bring sexy back… back.

OK, truth?  This really has nothing to do with the sorts of things we usually cover here on the PK blog.  But it’s Friday.  We’ve all worked hard this week.  We all have plenty on our minds.  So let’s set aside our stress for a few minutes and focus on something we can all get on board with:

Have a safe & restful weekend, bombshells…

a little friday fun: elliot & bowie’s first kiss

behold the hottest thing to hit the web since… whatever the last hot thing was to hit the web.  it’s nearly impossible that you haven’t already seen or heard about this, but hey… it’s friday, and we can’t stop watching it.  here’s a little takeaway: elliot and bowie may only be in elementary school, but they’re kind of onto something.  you deserve to be with a boy who is absolutely your best friend and gets THIS PSYCHED to be around you. don’t you think?

have an awesome weekend, bombshells!  party like an eight-year-old.

it’s music monday & we’re takin’ it waaaay back w/ mimi

Sometimes there’s nothing like a little old-school perspective to make us laugh and keep moving forward, realizing how far we’ve come already.  Check out this SUPER-old-school Mariah Carey video from waaaay back in the day… the fashions may be a little regrettable, but the lyrics still stand tall.  Enjoy!
