Dressing for Dinner Series: Graham Elliot

Monday, July 26th, 2010

If you’re like me, you love to put on a fancy dress and head out to a new restaurant. So, I’ve decided to bring you along: think of it as “Show and Tell.” In my new (at least monthly) blog series, “Dressing for Dinner,” I’ll show you what I wore, where I went, and what [...]

Picturing a New Perspective

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Before I write about the trip to Seattle and Alaska, before I share select pictures from our cruise and excursions and marketplace shenanigans; I feel compelled to confess an odd bit of sadness that I am feeling.

No Brain Cells Were Injured* in the Writing of This Post

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Vacation is imminent (2 days!) and yet work is as crazy as ever and my immune system has succumb to whatever late winter/ early spring ass hattery sinus contagion I must have encountered on public transportation. And as an added bonus, I haven’t been able to eat solid foods for two weeks thanks to my unholy [...]

My S&M Relationship with The Gap

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Oh, holy hell people. Try as I might to befriend them, Gap jeans hate me. I can hardly tell you how many years and salespeople I’ve burned through in my fruitless attempts to patronize that fine establishment. It’s fucking epic.
Three states, two flagship stores, four sizing options, two inseam choices, and five denim wash variations [...]

Bitten By the Handbag Bug

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

I’m in love, I’m in love! And I don’t care who knows about it! Internets, I tell you, I have my sights set on one thing and one thing in particular.
We first set eyes upon one another, so to speak, one lazy afternoon on the eastbound 152. There I sat in the back of the [...]
