True story: I'm horrified of bikinis and kinda relieved that one piece bathing suits are in. As a tween, kickin' it at the Ridgefield Park town pool, I went into the water with a one piece suit AND a Bart Simpson t-shirt. Even on Monday, to celebrate Memorial Day, I went to Rockaway Beach in Queens, NY and my stomach slightly churned at the thought of taking my clothes off to reveal my bathing suit. And I'm nervous as hell that a guy I'm chatting with via OKCupid thinks we should hit a beach as a date. But today, I'm feeling some hope of rocking a bikini thanks to Gabi Gregg better known as Gabi Fresh, a fashion blogger and former MTV TJ.

Have you noticed that, every few years, things that were uncool suddenly become cool again? Glasses. Lindsay Lohan. High-waisted everything. When I was in high school, boys with bicycles got no action. But things have changed. Today, they can play the “green card” (the imaginary kind that has to do with recycling and environmental stuff) and be worshiped as sensitive environmentalists rather than ridiculed as carless losers. Biking is so in right now -- take Liam Hemsworth (and Miley Cyrus), Carey Hart (and P!nk), and The Wanted's latest excursions.

Meghan McCain, the 27-year-old daughter of 2008 Republican Presidential candidate John McCain and a feisty young conservative personality, is no stranger to the media hot seat. As a popular pundit princess, she’s used to taking some heavy unfriendly fire from her own party as well as Democrats. Usually the blogosphere going H.A.M. is #NBD to this outspoken politica, but the super sexist and hateful remarks that flooded her feed after some cable commentary last week had Megan standing up to bullying. What the heck happened?!

Last month we introduced you to Jen Tyrrell, a mom and former scout leader of the Boys Scouts who was thrown out for being gay. Jen did something really heroic then -- she stood up and said she’d had enough of the anti-LGBT discrimination from the Scouts and started a petition at Change.org. Now her petition has more than 275,000 signatures asking the Scouts to allow LGBT people to join as scouts and scout leaders. Today 20-year-old Zach Wahls, an Eagle Scout who penned the memoir "My Two Moms," is presenting the petition at the Boy Scouts National Annual Meeting and we’ve all got our fingers crossed. As does "Vampire Diaries" star and pop singer Kat Graham.
