Even Gang Members Love Starbucks

Share
Friday morning was pretty eventful since I learned that even gang members like Starbucks. In the East Village and Alphabet City, even in a post-Rudy Giuliani New York, one expects their fair share of shady folks, grifters and junkies. But in Gramercy Park, one expects a bit of suburbia in the city.
So imagine this, I’m [...]

Amtrak: One Symptom of the Buckling American System

Share
Today I took a 6 p.m. Acela express train to Boston. Two hours later I was back in Penn Station because the local that exited before us broke down. This would’ve been a simple procedure had the rescue train not caught on fire on the way to get the broken down train just outside of [...]

Mr. Good Enough: Better Than No Man At All?

Share
Are you that woman that thinks she is the whole package, but wonders why she is still alone? You sit there thinking you are more accomplished, worldly, attractive, open-minded, ______– fill in the blank for me–than all those married women–and yet, others are hitched or have partners and you sit at home with the remote [...]

Marriage, Adultery & “The Ones”

Share
Independent attractive smart romance-seeking women are single because we want to meet the man fully formed. The truth is, after four real loves, I realize some of them were right—maybe I do bail when things get rough. Maybe, like men, we women are also afraid of commitment and people from different cultures are foreign to [...]

Tiger + Britney = Gossip Rag Profits

Share
There’s nothing a gossip rag loves more than a celebrity trainwreck and London newspaper The Sun has the scoop on two big ones. Let’s just note that The Sun is a gossip rag-cum-tabloid newspaper, so the credibility is not high. But apparently Wednesday was a big day for this paper as they reported that child [...]

Reality TV Star To Write Self-Help Book

Share
So apparently the self-help/dating genre needs another book, and well, with all the single women in NYC, maybe I can’t argue with that. But, from a reality TV star and one that has yet to experience the quarter-life-crisis? How old is “Lo” Bosworth anyway? According to the release, “Lo has certainly witnessed her fair share [...]

Diaper Divas

Share
So apparently Ernie diapers aren’t enough. Try telling that to my niece, who shuns Cookie Monster and Elmo for big E. Apparently she should be moving on to denim. I think she’d prefer purple or pink diaps but that’s not in the cards. Yes, you heard it right, Huggies, a Kimberly-Clark company, has introduced a [...]

Europe Is Getting Fat Too

Share
Apparently Europeans are pushing maximum density too. All those years of wine and cheese might finally be hitting their hips and hearts. No really, it seems Europe is thinking about tackling advertising of unhealthy food and forcing food makers to put ingredients on the front of the label. Calling all graphic designers, what font looks [...]

Summer, Sex & the Spank Bank

Share
It has come to my attention that some of my female friends do not know what a Spank Bank is. This is tragic and in honor of the best day of the week, Friday, Freedom day, I hereby give you an introduction to summer, “creative” sex and the notion of the Spank Bank. According to [...]
