A few months ago I wrote about the song of the summer, Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.” At its height, the song was somewhat of my anthem—I played it on repeat for weeks. But now that Gagapalooza has died down a bit, the sassy songstress appears far less frequently on my playlist, though I still [...]
The other day, I was paging through my Facebook newsfeed when this appeared on the screen next to my friend Julie’s gravatar: “Dear boys, when a girl gives you her number—call or text her. PLEASE. None of that ‘Wait three days’ crap. Because even if she’s an independent and mostly confident person with an awesome [...]
Recently, my husband has been out of town for work so I have been out dancing a lot. Argentine tango is becoming my new addiction. Check out one of my favorite dancers, tango legend Osvaldo Zotto: The other day, I was on my feet for 5 hours and I didn’t even realize it until I [...]
Are you dating a paper man? If so, it’s time to call it quits. You deserve the real deal. What do I mean by “paper man”? Well, he’s the guy every girl thinks she wants to date. When described, it looks like he has all the goods. He shares your interests, has a similar vision [...]
Guess this modern day Cinderella: A “commoner” (with a wicked stepmother, no less) swept up in royal romance and turned into a princess overnight—only to discover that “happily ever after” had gone out of style and, what’s more, that a crown could never complete her. Give up? It’s Sarah, Duchess of York, or—as you may [...]
On lazy days, I love to browse the shelves of my local booksellers in search of inspiration or entertainment. This weekend I found both. My muse? An unassuming brown paperback titled The Boyfriend Training Kit by Tanya Sassoon that caused me to do a double take—and later, double over with laughter—when I passed it in [...]
“I’m getting out of here.” My friend Allison told me abruptly. “It’s time to switch to the West Coast.” When Allison told me of her plans to leave New York City behind for the foggy shores of San Francisco, I was floored. Well—knowing Allison—maybe it wasn’t that abrupt. But it certainly felt that way. We [...]
I love holiday weekends. Combine a barbecue or two with friends, strolling the NYC street festivals, and a little poolside lounging if I’m lucky and Memorial Day weekend always feels like just the “staycation” I need right before summer starts heating up. This weekend, I noticed something interesting about the single girls I was sidling [...]
Maybe it’s because, when it comes to movies, I’m of the international/art film variety, but I was never too keen on the 90s hit Jerry Maguire, especially after I realized how unhealthy the message is that it sends to women about true love. Remember the infamous line? “You complete me.” Yuck. To be perfectly honest, [...]
If you’re like me—alternating between your laptop, your Blackberry, and your iPod at any given moment—you may feel like you have batteries, not blood, in your veins. Our fast-paced, high-tech culture has programmed us this way. Babies born in the last few decades have been brought up to operate like well-oiled machines, geared to overachieve [...]
Okay, I’ll admit it—I was never a huge Gaga fan. (Believe it or not, I’m a bit too old for electropop.) But I was genuinely moved by her backstage confession. Check out the video here. I promise it’ll be 3 minutes well spent. Gaga’s confession is a powerful example of a person rocking their life [...]
