“That November I’m nine and stealing: candy from the supermarket; toys from the dime store; books from the bookstore. And not Curious George and the Bad Touch or Tales of a Fourth Grade Fuck-Up, though I am in fourth grade, and fucked-up. I’m too smart for those books, too smart for the fourth grade, […]

It’s 50 degrees this morning and I’m feeling a little frisky! This has been a rough week, and I’m getting solace from sunshine, early morning blooms, and meeting my friend for sugary crepes. And to celebrate spring cleaning, I’m doing a little spring giveaway! Not only will you score a host of the beauty […]

So I’ve gone a bit mad today, delirious over the fact that temperatures crept past fifty degrees. The cashmere scarf and wool hat? Shoved deep into my bag. And daylight at 5:30pm? Be still, my rapidly beating heart. It’s all I can do to not throw open the windows, heat up the oven, and […]

I am so over winter. Today, I actually lost the feeling in my toes it was that frigid. And with temperatures in New York ten degrees colder than last winter, and everyone swathed in fleece layers and puffy coats, I’m crying out for the warmer months and all the delicious colors they bring. While […]

I am gushing!! My sweet friend, Suzanne Guillette, is releasing her baby out into the world, in the form of a memoir, Much to Your Chagrin: A Memoir of Embarrassment. Not only is Suzie a talented, whip-smart writer, she is one of the most generous, kind, and honest people I know. You’d be mad […]

Every three weeks I undergo a dramatic transformation. I leave my house, incognito, a miniature version of Chewbacca, and race to the nearest salon. After thirty minutes of tears, anguish, and humiliation (so much hair! those short hairs!), I emerge with a face nearly free of facial hair. Every three weeks I loathe blondes […]
