Breastfeeding: So hot right now!![]()
Councilman Tony Cardenas via Facebook The L.A. City Hall lactation room.
While supermoms like TIME covergirl and L.A. resident Jamie Lynne Grumet are fighting the good fight to breastfeed their toddlers in public (through radical nurse-ins called Boobie Paloozas; we kid you not), the female employees and visitors at L.A. City Hall would like to do the deed in private, thank you very much.
So today, L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa did the city's more conservative mothers a solid...

An L.A. mom whipped out her booby and started breastfeeding at the L.A. County Museum of Art recently, inspiring a hapless "staffer" to tell her to cover up.Facebook
We call it human-nature performance art. The LACMA guard thought it was too strip club.

Sad and true but ... California's gender wage gap is way better than the national average, which is 77 cents on the dollar -- more than $10,000 a year worth.

What arouses a woman's libi-don't?
Riding a bike, especially one with low-set handlebars, according to a new study from Yale University.
Anyone who's been on a bike knows that your body weight rests heavily on the seat, which puts pressure on the genital area. So it's not too shocking that female cyclists have decreased sensation in the pelvis area, as the study reports.

In the battle of the sexes, nothing gets women riled up like the words, "You can't drive! (And neither can your mother)."![]()

The proper response to that jab, of course, is, "Well you drive too fast. (And your father's a jerk)."
So, in the war between a deliberate female driver and a testosterone-fueled road warrior in this car capital of L.A., which one is, in fact, the safer motorist? Don't blame the messenger, but ...

From the Department of No Frigging Duh know comes this fine scoop from USA Today ... today.![]()
Sandra can still party, apparently.
Forty-year-old women, it turns out, like to party too. The in-depth story looks mostly at the fine, middle-aged ladies off California.
Now, the underlying assumption here is that these women should otherwise be dead but somehow find the energy to get up off their walkers to shake their groove thangs one last time:
Update: Alyssa Campanella wins Miss USA 2011, as predicted! Makin' L.A. -- and a roomful of buzzed Vegas oddsmakers -- very proud tonight. (Aside from her diss on the "Legalize It" movement. So un-Californian.) Watch her flash the devil horns, and work a bikini, after the jump.![]()

There are perp walks. And power walks. Now there's a SlutWalk coming to West Hollywood tomorrow.![]()
Anton Bielousov Walking the walk.
But before you line the parade route, Charlie Sheen, note that the participants aren't embracing your kind. Rather they're protesting the notion, uttered this spring by a Toronto cop, that "dressing like sluts" could get women raped.
