From Pimpinator to Prom Night 1

  1. Muscle preach

    Listen here, enviros: A-Schwarz wants to pimp you up. And he's got plans for the climate-hatas, too: soon they'll be the ones "like prohibitionists at a frat party," while greens are hot and sexy. Hey, guess we can cross that off our to-do list.

  2. The less brief, the better

    We're hung up in a big way on soy underwear from 2(x)ist, which brings "a new sense of style to what was once a purely functional part of one's wardrobe." We have no endowed -- er, doubt that it functions just fine. Is it hot in here?

  3. Black and white and tread all over

    To aid climate-change research, Brit scientists are studying ice cores consulting computer models asking penguins to waddle on treadmills. When the birds' bad-ass training regimen is done, they'll be all set to try out for the world's first carbon-neutral soccer team ... or Dancing with the Stars.

  4. Panic! At the risk-o

    Worried about warming? Disturbed by deforestation? Tormented by toxins? Well, take action: lie down on the big couch and talk about your mother. Or do what we do: take a big, deep breath of dirty air, and go look at those undie pics again.

  5. Don't forget to get laid

    Grist's guide to prom night: Get these guys to DJ. Be a natural beauty. Don't wear out the earth. Have Rachael Ray cater and pay for it all. And bust out your push-up-bra bag -- perfect for smuggling in, um, Kool-Aid.

    Grist List GrowthThe Grist List is definitely growing on me!  At first I thought it was too young and trendy but ... it is growing on me.  It's like going to an online green slumber party.  And I'm liking titles like Don't Forget to Get Laid and the soy underwear models.  I'd rather Grist keep all the green business/buy green stuff here.  In other words, the woman who has the green wedding mag, the woman [was it Tierra?] with the green jeans, etc. could all be highlighted here, rather than in Interactivist, which I'd like to see really be about activism.  So, Sarahs, keep the eco-rap flowing....
