Why Chicks Love Football
CHICKS DIG FOOTBALL
especially the players
Contributing Writer: Lauren Liebler
Football season has officially started and every bar, stadium and house with a TV fills up on Saturday or Sunday afternoon with men and their chicks to watch the game. Most chicks don’t actually care about the game of football, but its what comes with watching it that makes it fun. Playing dress up! What girl doesn’t like wearing a tight mesh jersey and booty shorts or tight jeans in front of guys?
Girls love dressing up for football. Coordinating outfits is the key to every girl group going to watch a game.
Whether a girl likes the tall skinny type of guy or the big meaty kind, football players can satisfy the taste of virtually any chick. Girls like athletes no matter what. With 53 players more or less to choose from and thousands of guys in the stands, there is nothing a girl would rather do than be at the center of attention at a game.
CELEBRITY CHICKS LOVE NFL MEN
WHY?
- there are only 1696 in the world
- their average salary: $1.9 million
- football players are shown on TV just as much as they are
- the girls get to wear their man’s jersey at the game
- football men are some of the most loyal celebrities
OUR TOP THREE CELEBRITY/FOOTBALL PLAYER COUPLES
Gisele Bundchen & Tom Brady Kristen Cavalari and Jay Cutler Hayden Panettiere & Scotty McKnight
Not only are NFL players totally hot, but for the younger crowd of chicks, college players are right up their ally
- DATING A COLLEGE PLAYER MEANS:
- – Thousands of fans knowing who you are
- – Showing off his jersey in the stands
- – Going to all the pre and after parties
- – Getting to know all of his football friends
- – Trying to hook his hot friends up with yours
- – Being envied by other chicks*
- – Instant entrance into greek and campus life
- – Getting to walk around campus with the closest thing to a celebrity
*works better if you are a cheerleader or dancer for the team.
GIRLS WHO HAVE BOYFRIENDS THAT DON’T PLAY FOOTBALL:
They still like the game because their guys do. Watching the game with his friends and their gfs is awesome. As long as there’s alcohol and food, there’ll be a good time.
Guys, you might not be able to watch your girl play in the lingerie league, but you should at least be happy she’s watching the game with you!
GIRLS WHO DONT HAVE BOYFRIENDS BUT LOVE FOOTBALL:
Its all about the outfits and fun times with the gals. Tailgating, meeting new people and of course, meeting new boys. There is nothing girls love more than those three things on a Saturday afternoon. Sorority girls and your average campus girls can’t get enough of football games. Its something to do to get away from the dorms and spending too much money shopping.
What NOT To Say to Women at Clubs
Bad Pickup Lines
You’d be a liar if you said you’ve never gone to a bar or nightclub at least once without trying to “get some action.” Most men are guilty of this. Surprisingly, so are most women, even those who always claim they “just want to dance.”
Even still, despite the new social norms found in our forward-thinking 21st century society, men still have to “spit some game” and do most of the initial “work” to get the ladies. So without divulging the secrets of the perfect pickup, let’s focus on what guys should NOT say when meeting new women:
The Stupid Questions
What Do You Do?
This screams: I HAVE NO GAME WHATSOEVER, PLEASE HAVE MERCY AND F*** ME!!!
What’s Your Major?
Do you really want to sound like a drunk college freshman on the first week of school?
Where Are You From?
Save this for later… unless you’re a stalker.
Can I Buy You A Drink?
Buying her a drink does not also buy her attention. Usually, she will thank you for the drink and leave. Sucker!
Do You Have a Boyfriend?
If she has a boyfriend she cares about, she’ll tell you. Otherwise, she’s single or simply DTF.
Do you Come Here Often?
Perhaps the most desperate, boring, unimaginative you can say to any woman. Anywhere.
The Moronic Pickup Lines
You must be tired because you’ve been running through my head all night!
Creep alert. You’ve never met and she’s the only thing on your mind? Yikes!
Can I have your phone number? I seem to have lost mine.
“Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy… but I’m an idiot! So call me, maybe?”
Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven…
No, but it will probably hurt when she slaps you.
Do you believe in love at first sight, or do I have to walk by you again?
99.9% women are not looking for “love” at a bar or club, no matter what they say when they’re drunk. Period.
Do you like raisins? How about a date?
Do you like provolone? Cuz that was really cheesy!
I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I bet I can make your bed rock.
Translation: “Let’s f***!” Unless she’s a dirty whore, she will probably avoid you for the rest of the night.
From the Horse’s Mouth
Our amazing dancers, cocktail waitresses, hostesses, and bartenders get hit on every night. They’re also seasoned veterans at detecting bullshit pickup lines and fending off weirdos.
Here’s some of their “best of the worst” pickup lines:
-
Are you willing to sell your underpants for $100?
-
You Butterfree up your schedule cuz I’ll Beedrillin’ you later!
-
How many guys here hit on you every night?
-
You’re hot. Come to the bathroom with me.
The Bottom Line
Don’t be that guy. Nobody likes “that guy.”
Drink these manly drinks or look like a p*ssy
Black n Tan
Nothing’s manlier than beer on top of beer. That’s like bacon on top of bacon with a Marlboro Red cigarette in a truck with some Levi’s and a beard… anyway, it’s a pretty manly drink which will definitely put some hair on your chest, or at least jump start puberty.
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle lager beer
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle Guinness beer
Pour half the lager beer into a tall beer glass. Place a large tablespoon (dome side up) above the first layer. Slowly pour half the stout beer over the spoon, so the stout gently pours down the side of the glass. Allow standing a few seconds for distinct layers of beer to form.
Jack Daniels
There wasn’t a great metal or rock album or music video that doesn’t pay homage to the brown sauce, usually Jack Daniels. The all American Tennessee bad boy brew that will have you on the back of a Harley headed to the strip club, bangin’ your head faster than you can say, “shout at the devil”.
Johnnie Walker Blue
Johnnie Blue will definitely put a dent in your wallet, but if you aim to impress, ordering this high-end blend will impress the ladies and the bartender. Don’t bother shooting this pricey pour; the ‘civilized’ gent will sip his scotch straight up or on the rocks. Whether truly classy or playing pretend, Johnnie Blue will put you a step above your beer chugging buddies.
Johnnie Walker Blue Label is blended to recreate the character and taste of some of the earliest whiskey blends created in the 19th century. Bottles are numbered serially and sold in a silk-lined box accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. It is one of the most expensive blended Scotches on the market, with prices in the range of $200.
Straight Shots
Nothing makes a guy look more like a pussy than downing a chic shot. There is a major difference between “shots” vs. “shooters”. Shots are straight shots of one type of liquor: vodka, tequila, bourbon, etc. Conversely, shooters are sissy, sugary, concoctions of fruity liqueurs and juices: sex on the beach, kamikaze, woo woo. Even the names will have you wearing a skirt before finish your pansy cocktail. Be a man and order yours straight, save the shooters for the barely legal, castrated set!
Real Beer
Beer is the world’s most widely consumed alcoholic beverage, the “every man’s” drink. But, even here, consume with caution. You have a set of balls, so use them and keep away from lite beer unless in the comfort of your own home, alone. Lite beer will have girls thinking you are manorexic, will order a diet soda and a side salad if you go on a date, and girls don’t want to be able to share jeans with their man!
Side note: People need to stay away from Malt Liquor unless your homeless, or going back in time to 1996, clutching a Zima with a Jolly Rancher in it.
Rum
Rum can go both ways. When taken as Captain Morgan, exotic dark rum, or a simple rum and coke, the spirit gives off a manly sensibility. But mixed with pineapple, or swirled into a frozen beverage, you’ll be the newest cast member for the off Broadway bitch fest “The Vagina Monologues” before you’re finished with your island beverage.
Rum is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane byproducts such as molasses, or directly from sugarcane juice. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak barrels. The majority of the world’s rum production occurs in the Caribbean and Latin America.
Manhattan
This is the type of drink you’d expect suited up stockbrokers on Wall Street to be sipping while they discuss the best way to cheat on their wives and steal from their clients.
Preparation: Stirred over ice, strained into a chilled glass, garnished, and served straight up.
A Manhattan is a cocktail made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. Commonly used whiskeys include rye (the traditional choice), Canadian whisky (simply called Rye in Canada), bourbon, or blended whiskey and Tennessee whiskey. The cocktail is often stirred with ice and strained into a cocktail glass, where it is garnished with a Maraschino cherry.
Martini
A classic martini would be the drink of choice for James Bond- “shaken not stirred!” While other “girly” martini variations, such as the Cosmopolitan, made famous by the ‘Sex in the City’ hags, or the sickeningly sweet Apple Martinis have been popularized, the original martini, made with gin or vodka, will say you can handle a strong drink and you’ve got some class.
The martini is a cocktail made with gin and vermouth, and garnished with an olive or a lemon twist. Over the years, the martini has become one of the best-known mixed alcoholic beverages.
Margarita
Margaritas made properly are nothing to take lightly. A real man would know his tequila; order a nice Anejo or Resposado, maybe top with Gran Marnier and fresh lime juice. But make no mistake; the margarita can take a turn into vagina town quickly. Never order it frozen, or swirled, or blue, fruity red flavored messes. Save that for Fire Island or an all girls pajama party.
A Mexican cocktail consisting of tequila mixed with orange-flavored liqueur and lime or lemon juice, often served with salt on the glass rim. It is the most common tequila-based cocktail in the United States.
Irish Coffee
Nothing boosts your morning blend quite like a shot of Irish whiskey. Envision a rugged Irish gent on the rolling greens hills of it’s mother land chopping wood, or herding sheep. They surely need a strong dose of caffeine to get ’em going and a shot to kill the hangover they have from last night!
Irish after all are well known for being able to handle their alcohol and being able to handle semi-automatic weaponry due to the fact that half the country is serving or have served in either the FCA or the Slua in their spare time.
Rocker-Chic Fashion You Can Hurt Creepy Guys With
Ladies, Go Buy Now: Studs
Contributing Writer Amanda Hanowitz
Studs are all the rage these days. Everywhere you look there’s a stud placed on some article of clothing. It started with accessories and has made its way to clothing and even shoes.
Feeling bored? Buy some studs and attach them to any garment you choose. DIY till we die.
The age old question you ask yourself is, “How can this trend apply to me?” Well, in more ways than one.
- Rocking out with your studs out in DC will ensure instant popularity.
- Studs make you seem edgy, a great boost if you don’t qualify as an edgy individual.
They can toughen up any simple outfit and add a bit of grunge to any girly ensemble. - Sport studs on your collar.
- Try them on your pants pockets.
- Try them on your shoes.
This trend is unbelievable. There are countless ways to wear it and look edgy and rocker-chic.
How many of you go out with your gal pals and just want to dance and have a good fucking time? That should be all of you. My next question is, how many creeps try to dance on you when you’re just trying to be carefree?
The solution here is studs. Your outfit can help you ward off these creeps by doubling as a weapon. Studs are pointy, people. You can be a fun-loving, trendy chick who’s head to toe in studs, thus protecting herself against strange men. What could be better?
The key to studded perfection is to use it as an accent. Pop your studded collar. Throw your studded iPhone in the air. Get low in your studded skinny jean pockets. Stand tall in your studded sneaks.
Time to be a stud, ladies.
Check out this studded collection on Nasty Gal. Or maybe start with these killer, studded shorts on Free People.
The Six People You See at a Nightclub
You’ve seen them. You know who they are. Love ’em or hate ’em, clubbing wouldn’t be the same without ’em.
The Party Animal
Once the party animal steps into the club, anything goes. This individual thrives on loud music, flashing lights, tons of alcohol, sex, drugs, and dance music. He/she has super-human drinking abilities, spends more than a reasonable amount of money on booze or drugs, and doesn’t give a f*** about your opinions on life in the fast lane.
The party animal is most frequently spotted next to the bar – pounding drinks and slurring away – or busting some insane moves on the dance floor. This character is the life of the party: everyone loves ’em. In spite of this, not everyone wants to be ’em: there’s only so many times you can humanly eat a cold, sloppy, and half-devoured Big Mac at 8 am the next morning and show up to work late with a hangover.
The Promoter
Perhaps you met them at the club last week. Perhaps you found them on Facebook (or they found you). They promised they’d get you into the club for free or with or some super-sweet hookup. They act like your best friends but probably don’t even remember your name.
Whatever the case, they make you feel good about yourself because they saved you time and money. Therefore, it’s awesome you’re tight with a promoter and you have bragging rights to tell all your friends that you have the special “in.” Hell, you’re practically a VIP through this acquaintance!
The DJ Slut
There’s a certain breed of women that thrives on money, power, and being the center of attention. Usually, society calls them “attention whores” or “gold diggers,” however when they start hanging out in clubs all the time, they go through a metaphorical meat grinder and become club rats. When they start fornicating with every performer that graces the venue’s presence, they evolve into “DJ sluts.”
Since DJs are the modern-day rock star equivalent, these women are throwing their legs open with increasing regularity because they gravitate towards guys with supreme “deck” skills. You can usually spot them in the DJ booth, lurking in the nearby VIP section, or sucking the opener’s dick in the bathroom.
These lovely ladies have gotten so out of control, rumor has it that an elite group of professional DJs have compiled a private list of women they shouldn’t f*** in every major touring city. Talk about getting blacklisted from the black book!
The Underage Drunk
Old enough to chill but too young to spill, 18-20 year olds in America sure know how to pre-game! Since they can’t buy drinks in the club but still maintain a sense of alcoholic entitlement (after all, they can vote and serve in the military), there’s an entire culture and hush-hush code of underage drinking across the country.
When a nightclub opens its doors to an 18+ crowd, it’s guaranteed there will be a handful of underage patrons who composed their drunken stupors long enough to pass the bouncers outside. You’ll spot them stumbling through the club together with black X’s on their hands, plotting how to obtain more alcohol now that they’re inside and amazed by the fact that they still haven’t been kicked out.
The E-Tard
E-Tards love ecstasy. Every time they hit the clubs, out come the pills. They’re often spotted dancing by themselves, mesmerized by the club’s lights as they profusely sweat and rub up on anything with a pulse.
Watch this video:
Creepers
Some of you guys are seriously creepy. Like extremely, weirdly creepy.
Just because an attractive girl at the club will give you 10 seconds of her semi-divided attention doesn’t mean she wants to f*** you. Don’t touch her unless she’s cool with it. Don’t force your phone number on her or painfully try to extract hers. Don’t go up and grind on her ass without consent. Respect her personal space.
Moreover, nightclubs are generally suited to a younger adult crowd (think: under 35). While establishments appreciate the business of their more mature clients, clubs aren’t an open invitation for guys 2-3 times older to stalk, molest, and gawk at younger women. If this describes you, consider satisfying your touchy-feely needs at a strip club, not nightclub.

More Shots, Raunchy LA Club Chicks, Some Guy’s Girlfriend’s Boobs
You may not know who Kirill is, but we can guarantee one of two things:
- You know and love his work
- You love his work and don’t even know it
Kirill is America’s #1 Nightlife Photographer, the man behind Champagne Facials and the source of gloriously raunchy, while classy at the same time party pics.
“dude I love these fucking questions” – Kirill
(editor’s note – thanks braaaahh)
When did you first realize you could take pictures of people getting fucked up for a living? Not how did you get into it… but when did you realize it was ‘it’? On some Zoolander, second grade, reflection in a spoon shit.
once i saw that clubs & parties that never wanted anything to do with me, started hiring me to shoot i knew i had something. i had to prove my value in the beginning. and eventually people saw that sex sells. i never sold out. never took a shit job for the money. that’s why nothing besides me dictates the direction of my brand. people hire me for me. not to just have any other photographer.
You ever been out in DC?
yes. i’ve been there a few times. it’s the biggest melting pot of chicks I’ve ever seen.
Your twitter is awesome. That’s not a question, just a fact.
spanks.
Colleges or clubs? Why?
depends. for me the problem is that most college girls these days are afraid of the consequences of making mistakes on camera (that will then end up on the internet and their parents will ship them home). at clubs, the girls have been through the ringer. they know that anything they do on camera they won’t really regret the next morning.
Pros and Cons of NY vs. LA…
in nyc you can hop from party to party all night which makes it much easier to find something good. la is fun if you go out with the right people. i am a ny-er. i don’t really know la. so i rely on my friends to take me out. so far, the girls i’ve met are hot and raunchy. the 2am curfew in la sucks, but that’s what hotel rooms are for, right?
How many boyfriends/brothers/dads have threatened you? Have any come after you? What happened?
i’ve had my share of boyfriends threaten me. more often they were the ones that were out doing something they shouldn’t have and didn’t want their girlfriend finding out. i’ve had a few moms ask me to pull down photos of their daughters. nothing too crazy. my site just got hacked this month. all my photos were deleted. i hear it was some kid who’s girlfriend’s boobs i photographed and posted.
Sorry your site got hacked. How does that affect you?
for some reason it didn’t bother me. i am comfortable enough with my brand to be able to take a hit and it was reassuring to see my fans and friends stand by me, while we rebuilt the site.
How do you cure a hangover?
more shots. that’s the only way.
5 things needed for a dope party are…
sluts. tequila. champagne. good music. sluts.
Are you more of an ass, titty, lip, thigh or face man. or all the above hahaha or beyond…
im def a titty man. they just photograph so well 🙂
Things you “think” you do better drunk
Alcohol, the social lubricant, bless thee for giving us the courage to make mundane tasks fun. To embarrass us endlessly. The toxic sauce which leads to uncomfortable walks of shame, credit card debt, awkward pictures on Facebook from nights spent in the DC clubs, and karaokes not soon forgotten. You’re always there to lift us up and kick us harder when we are down! But for all your short comings, you’re always the friend who asks for nothing in return.
Dancing
So you think you can dance? Nothing like a little liquid courage to get your dancing feet going! Liquor can loosen up those two left feet until your king of floor. Might regret those Facebook photos of your bump n grind the next morning but at least you had fun.
Karaoke/Guitar Hero
Much like dancing, add a few drinks and everyone is bum rushing the mic to sing their favorite rendition of “Born to be Wild”.
Truth/Advice
Ever have a really ‘deep’ conversation with someone while you are drunk? Spilling your guts about your latest one nightstand while they go on and on giving you unsolicited advice until the wee hours of the morning? It goes both ways people!
Calling/Texting/Social Media
After a few rounds, it seems perfectly normal to text your ex boyfriend, call your grandmother, and tweet sexual pictures of your night out…right?
Sex
Drunk sex is great, isn’t it? Or maybe you just think you are being sexy? Or maybe, wait did we even have sex?
Bar Games
Would any sober person think it’s fun trying to flip a quarter into a glass for a few hours, or throw a needle at a cork board?
Stupid Human Feats
Get that special toxic concoction running through your veins and suddenly embarrassing or life threatening feats seem like a good idea. Quick take my picture planking! Let’s go sky diving or jump off this cliff…. <SPLAT>
Nudity
More booze=less clothes
Forget that FUPA all of the sudden I feel like I need to show off my blubber gut to the whole club! It’s always the pasty hipster or the fat ass who get this memo…
Foreigner Fluent
Ever feel like you could barely count to 20 during your Spanish classes in middle school. Then a couple drinks deep you are fluently rattling off your monologue about how much fun you had this summer with ……
Plans and Promises
Ever run into that old friend, maybe you squealed and told each other how much you missed each other, made plans to go to the beach, and go kayaking, and start a book club and … never gonna follow through. Or those who take it to the next level entirely, get married in Vegas Britney Spears style, or with three rabid rednecks as shown below.
Shopping
Shopping is never a smart thing to do drunk. Wonder why they serve champagne in designer stores or bridal boutiques? To get you drunk and spend more money. Got the munchies? Grocery stores are no exception, someone is always going to go flying down the isle in a grocery cart and spilling over into the meat cooler.
Fashion’s Night Out Washington DC Review
Fashion Bash Hits Georgetown!
Recapping one of DC’s biggest fashion parties!
Contributing Writer: Lauren Liebler
Fashion’s Night Out in Georgetown exceeded the expectations of many.
Dean and Deluca was hosted by BYT with a large white tent filled with fashionably dressed residents dancing to music from ESL and Fatback DJs. The catering staff partied as much as the event goers, making for a lively atmosphere with great (and free) food!
Walking down M street during was an experience. Men and women were dressed in everything from suits with loafers to maxi dresses with Jeffrey Campbell heels. Not only were the outfits eccentric and inspiring, the crowd was vivacious and festive as well.
Major stores such as CUSP, H&M, Urban Outfitters and All Saints & Spitalfields had discounts and special giveaways until 11pm. Pop up shops were held in smaller venues, selling handmade clothing and season previews.
The trendy men at FNO were able to sneak away from the madness to Streets of Georgetown menswear for a fee of $25. Totally worth it considering they had complimentary bites from Morton’s Steakhouse, complimentary beer from Lost Rhino Brewery and 30% off all purchases.
Restaurants on M street during Fashion’s Night Out were impossible to enjoy unless you had reservations. Clyde’s of Georgetown, Bandolero, M Street Bar & Grill and many others were packed with hungry fashionistas. Luckily, restaurants off M street such as Filomena Ristorante and Paolo’s were open with plenty of elbowroom.

You’d be surprised by the amazing amount of ridiculous bacon products that exist, which is why we’ve rounded up a selection of “all things bacon” and compiled the below list!

Mint flavor? What’s that? Bacon, baby!

You’ll probably start flossing twice a day on a regular basis.
The Most Expensive Champagne in the World
In the spirit of tonight’s ‘Champagne Wars’ at Barcode we thought we’d take a look at some of the most expensive champagne in the world. To give you an idea, Cristal is most popularly the most expensive bottle of champagne sold at clubs in DC, like Ultrabar and sold for an average of $600 ($250-$300 retail). But, that’s pennies because once you see what big time ballers spend of their bubbly, our $30 bottle of champagne at Barcode Tuesday nights never looked so good!
Cristal Brut 1990 “Methuselah”
$17,625
In 2005, at the high society auction house Sotheby’s in New York, a six-liter Crisal Brut gold-labeled bottle of champagne (1990), was sold to an anonymous Richie Rich.
Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam
$40,000
Also in 2005, Dom Perignon made topped the charts at the world’s most expensive bubbly. These three-liter limited edition bottles made of white gold and dubbed the Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam were sold for a New Years celebration.
Pernod-Ricard Perrier-Jouet
$50,000
Not only do you get a set of 12 bottles (100 sets sold total) you have to travel to Eastern France and personalize a flavor of liqueur. The elite from all over the world have purchased their set which includes storage for your champagne to age for eight months. Sounds like a lot of work for a glass of champs.
Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck
$275,000
In 1916, the Russian Imperial family was expecting a shipment of their favorite champagne from the Heidsieck vineyard in Champagne, France. En route, the shipwreck off the coast of Finland caused the bottles to be lost at sea for over 80 years, until divers discovered over 200 bottles in 1997. Now the pricey bottles are sold to guests at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow.
