Weight Watchers: Not Just Your Mom’s Diet

I hated diets. Every other week I was going back on one, I swore…until I ate a cookie, or forgot to order my caramel macchiato with skim, or ate a handful of fries at happy hour. Then it was always back to the downward spiral of binging until I felt remorse and a […]

Slow It Down, Baby, and Have Some Fun with the Spice Girls

There’s nothing like a reunion tour, particularly when paired with a group that went south after one bad movie.
As soon as a friend of mine asked if I wanted to see the Spice Girls Reunion Tour, I squealed as though I was twelve again. I might even have started zig-a-zig, ahh-ing. I can’t really remember […]

Awesome! I can advertise the truth at last!
There’s no shame in […]

Some Things Just Ain’t Worth the Travel

Approximately one year ago I spent a weekend at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.
To this day, I get emails from the PR group that runs the nightclub and other bars inside the hotel/casino complex. Ordinarily I don’t mind much. I like to remember my days and nights in the desert, and even look forward to […]

Where Have All the Good Lines Gone?

In a dark, moderately dirtball Irish pub with adorable bartenders straight from Ireland, I am approached by a liquor promoter. He’s pretty good-looking, obviously a flirt because who else takes a job as a promoter, and so begins his attempt as he hands me a keychain:”Who do you get? Who do people always […]
