The ABCs of Jersey Style

July 19, 2010

In case you haven’t noticed, New Jersey is the new black. Although reality TV is suddenly saturated with all things Joisey—Real Housewives of New Jersey, Jersey Shore, Jerseylicious, Jersey Couture—Jersey’s climb from red-headed stepchild to golden child has been years in the making. What, you think Snooki started this? No, loves. It wasn’t Snooki. Or [...]

I guess I should be flattered…

Body Modification vs. Cosmetic Surgery

March 23, 2010

WARNING: Links and images in this post may be difficult to look at and are not appropriate for young viewers. OK, this post is not my usual subject matter. I promise it is a momentary diversion. Last night I decided to watch Extreme Dr. 90210, thinking it would be, well extreme-but-pretty plastic surgery. Like Heidi [...]

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 [...]

Return to pretty…please!

March 4, 2010

If you’re a long-time reader of my blog, you know that recently, I’ve been very focused on the importance of looking your very best, whether you’re single, in a relationship, a mom, or childless. This is something I believe so strongly in that I never set foot in the gym without at least a coat [...]

Gag Order

February 11, 2010

Will someone please save John Mayer from himself? I’ve nearly written about what a buffoon he is several times in the past, but I stopped myself because I really do want to try to stay positive whenever possible. But really. After the last few things he’s said, I can stay silent no longer. Someone get [...]

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 [...]

A weave as wardrobe? Uh, no.

November 7, 2009

OMG. OK. I really thought I had seen it all. Really. But I must stand corrected, cause these übercreepy accessories totally take the cake. Next time you’re looking for some statement-making jewelry, why not throw on these human hair earrings and necklace? What…are you afraid people might think you’re the descendant of some clan of [...]

Losing Friends and Alienating People 101

November 4, 2009

In the game of life, at some point nearly everyone suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous friendship. We all have a tale of a boyfriend-stealer or ne’er-do-well, that friend you thought had your back, but instead plunged a knife in it. There are the backhanded compliment friends, the to-your-face insult friends, the shock value [...]

Homage to Halloween: Plastic Surgery Horrors

October 29, 2009

I so wish I could not blog about this, but I have to. I can’t not do it, because it’s so freaky and bizarre. So I’ve filed this under Homage to Halloween: Plastic Surgery Horrors. Real-life masks, if you will. Here we go. Back in the day, Carrot Top used to live in my neck [...]
