Boxed In: A Woman’s Right to Defy the Norm

Send to KindleTweet Before I start defending a woman’s right to be a functioning junkie, I just want to say this. Cat Marnell has shit taste in graffiti. Any tag on a wall is not art. So to bury the lede from the start, I’ll tell you about an amazing graffiti artist I met in [...]

Weekly Links: Where Sex, Green Gold, & Lip Gloss Collide…

Send to KindleTweet Are sex, food and beauty the modern major food groups? is booze a food?

A Sexual Separation of Church & State

Send to KindleTweet In NYC, things are clear when it comes to love and lust. Everyone knows where to go for sex, relationships and everything in between.

Generation Me & The Happiness Syndrome

Send to KindleTweet I used to be afraid I was part of the throwaway generation for with every move some China-made home product found a new home on the curb. We are a generation with no Bob Dylan, no Pete Seeger, no Simon & Garfunkel. Instead we have Coldplay, poptarts and Bono,  the latter of [...]
