What You Didn’t Know About Your Hairdresser

I am the daughter of a hairdresser. A beautician. A colorist. A hairstylist. She is all of  the above, and to everyone else, she is also a fairy godmother, a lifesaver, a confidante, a shrink, and on occasion, a magician. Of course, she is all of those things to me as well, being the only [...]

Cheaters: Psychology, Patterns, and Pearls of Wisdom

This headline recently caught my eye: Jennifer Love Hewitt: I’ve Been Cheated on ‘a Lot’. From the article: Asked by Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Tuesday if she’s ever been cheated on, Hewitt replied, “Yes.

What I really want to write…

is a long, sordid post about the propensity of friends/ex-friends (who wouldn’t know each other if it weren’t for you), galvanized in their cumulative hatred for and jealousy of you, give shout-outs to each other and switch sides via Two-Facedbook.  But I won’t write about that, because my year of Losing Friends and Alienating People [...]

Manscaping 101

I recently read He Said/She Said: Should Your Guy Groom? in the October 2009 issue of Marie Claire. The article, by Lauren Iannotti and Doug Donovan, offered commentary on why men should or shouldn’t groom themselves to the degree that women do.
