Friend Friday: Fashion, Fitness, and Femininity

July 23, 2010

This week Katy decided to focus on a topic that I think we should all be thinking about more often, and that is fitness. For more of my commentary on this topic, or inspiration for the gym, read my Health & Fitness/Gymspiration posts. She asked: When you hear the word fitness what do you think? [...]

Gymspiration: Gear to Get You Movin’

April 28, 2010

It’s that time again in the northern hemisphere! Bikini season is just around the corner. And even if you never plan to put on another bikini ever again, you know shorts are hot hot hot for S/S 2010. Don’t know about y’all, but I won’t be rockin’ any Daisy Dukes without logging regular time on [...]

Gymspiration: Gwen Stefani

January 26, 2010

Although this photo was published a few weeks ago, for some reason, I only recently stumbled across it. My God. Is Ms. Rossdale looking amaaaaaaazing (at 40, after two kids) or what? If you decided to make 2010 the year you get back in shape, here’s your motivational imagery: We all know celebrities are privy [...]

Gymspiration: Celebration

January 10, 2010

I’m seriously over the women-doing-crotch-grabbing-trend, but this song/vid still rocks. It got me so fired up in the gym I contemplated working out for an hour-and-a-half instead of the usual hour. Look for a bumpin’ cameo from Madge’s Little Star near the end. Now get your ass out there and MOVE!* * If you’re in [...]

Bad Romance

November 10, 2009

Lady Gaga’s new vid/song, Bad Romance, premiered today. Gaga continues to provoke us artistically, and in ways never before seen, which is why I love her. She’s the Alexander McQueen of performance art, so the mutual promotion going on between the two totally makes sense. PS: Get ready to see Ukrainian Nemiroff Vodka sales skyrocket…

I told you flats are no good!

May 27, 2009

Way back in 2007, I wrote a post about this very thing: Want him to flatline at the very sight of you? Skip the flats. Recently, I came across this and couldn’t resist sharing: You see, I was right. Heels are better for your appearance and your sex life. I’ve even had to preach “no flats” to [...]

More Tracy

February 20, 2009

So last post was about Tracy Anderson and her approach to fitness. Yes, she’s training Madonna and Gwynnie. Madonna, as we all know, has been shredded for years, and although she claimed for a time that her physique was all due to Ashtanga yoga and that she’d quit weights, I know better. She might have [...]

Tracy Anderson Method

February 17, 2009

I recently read about Tracy Anderson, personal trainer to Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow, and was very intrigued by her regime, aka the Tracy Anderson Method. Instead of regurgitating her philosophy and background, if you’re interested, read up on it when you have some time. While I won’t be taking all my weight training down to [...]

LA Fitness

May 6, 2008

Not that everyone would be interested, but check out photos of the gym I discovered up here: LA Fitness I think going back to the Y might be a tad difficult after this place. Having said that, a one-week membership to LA swankiness is only $25 less than a full month at the Y! You [...]

Play it again, Graham…

May 23, 2007

To Graham…thanks very much for your perspective on the article I referenced in my blog, For the Ladies (Elle Mag. June 2007 issue, page 204: “Yes, you do look fat in that!” by Walter Kirn). I was so intrigued by your comment I felt the need to highlight it for my lady friends. Hope you [...]
