What You Didn’t Know About Your Hairdresser

April 19, 2010

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

April 9, 2010

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. A lot.” Without identifying the guilty parties, the Ghost Whisperer actress proceeded to count the ways in which [...]

Undateable

March 21, 2010

Cracking up over Undateable, a site I only just discovered. It’s based on the book Undateable: 311 Things Guys Do That Guarantee They Won’t be Dating or Having Sex by Ellen Rakieten and Anne Coyle: Did your date show up wearing socks with sandals? Are tighty-whities a deal-breaker for you? Do fanny packs make you [...]

Reeeewind. Let’s revise.

March 18, 2010

A few days ago, I posted Stand By Your Non-Crying Man. I believe a revision is in order: Suffice it to say that Sandy made a good choice in standing by that man no longer. Unbelievable. Guess you can take the boy out of the garage, but you can’t the affinity for tattooed porn stars [...]

Flowers could be misinterpreted, and other stupid myths…

February 9, 2010

V-Day is coming. D-Day. Ugh. Because Valentine’s Day is around the corner and love is the topic of the week, I’ve been pondering hetero love in the 21st century. Between that and a recent conversation I had about the romance dance that goes on between the sexes, I felt compelled to post this PSA. So [...]

My New L♥ve: Poirot

January 14, 2010

I fell in love today. With a Frenchie named Poirot. Not Poirot, the detective (though he was named after him). But Poirot, the gloriously gorgeous, insanely huge, absolutely breathtaking, Australian-bred French Standard Poodle. I’ve had a thing for poodles ever since I met the daintiest white Standard Poodle named Zsa Zsa (I will steal that [...]

What I really want to write…

December 28, 2009

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

October 9, 2009

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. Iannotti was vehemently opposed to metrosexually-bent manscaping, while Donovan was all for manis [...]

Greeks + Food = Love

September 13, 2009

I recently read Julie and Julia, Top Chef and all things Cheese Straws by fellow blogger The Preppy Islander and aside from enjoying her narrative, it got me thinking about food and its role in different cultures. You see, being a Greek, I have no frame of reference for cultures/families/lifestyles that are not centered around [...]

Can I please see my mistress? Pretty please?

June 27, 2009

When it comes to fidelity, whether married or not, I am of one mind: dilly-dally, and it’s DONE. There is no I’m sorry. There is no it was just sex. There is no reconciliation or forgiveness or trying anew. In my relationships, I am unequivocal about cheating. Don’t test my Greek temper. Hell indeed hath [...]
