Special Crush Week Edition!

LOOK YOUNGER WITHOUT GETTING OUT OF BED! New research suggests that the endorphins released and the fat reduced by "vigorous regular sex" can make you look years younger. ("I must look 42." -- Chris.) But why all the fuss/muss? I say a vigorous crush will do the trick.

LOVE AND OTHER FOUR-LETTER WORDS. In her first young-adult novel, FOBG -- and SuperList regular -- Carolyn Mackler introduces Sammie, whose 16th year is soured by her parents' abrupt separation and a jarring move from the country to the city. Fortunately, high-rise living gives her a reason not to hang her head; "I have a new job. It's called Elevator Duty. I jump on every opportunity to ride our elevator in the hopes that the automated doors will open to reveal 'Johnny Depp,' hunk of the fifteenth floor." And that crush serves to keep Sammie yummily distracted until she meets the boy from the ending.

SHA-SHA-SHH! Full disclosure: The Customs Dept. is -- rightly -- up in arms over the apparent use of these funky clunky shoes to store scary drugs in their secret compartment. I say they're perfect for toting secret crush-related talismans and stuffing secret notes if caught red-handed.

FIRE & ICE: A TRIBUTE TO PAT BENATAR. Next Wednesday in NYC. Let Pat take you back to all your knee-weakening high school slow dances.

APOCALYPSE MONTHLY. Mary-Kate and Ashley will be the editors of a new -- just hold me as I type this word -- "tweenstyle" magazine for girls negotiating the tricky few days in their development between Barbies and boys. (If you've got a secret crush on these tweens, I mean twins, you'd best twell Gregoire.)
