Text Etiquette for the Serial Dater

Sup 2nite? U wanna go 4 drinks?
It’s official. Text messaging is ruining dating.
In all honesty, I completely understand that it’s less pressure to send a text message and get a non-response than to call and have to deal with a person’s voice saying ‘yea-or-nay’, but it’s made the entire process much less personal. […]

So Hot Right Now: Resort Wear

Madras, seersucker, Topsiders, oh my! Resort wear has hit the co-ed set in full force. While undergraduates are known as the best of the label whores, sometimes the goal of carefully planning an outfit is more than flattering your figure. It implies, of course, that you’re en route to the country club […]

Trendwatch: Pregnancy?

It seems “the pill” is the only drug losing popularity in Hollywood. Can Juicy Maternity handle the baby boom?

Minnie Driver is now one of many pregnant celebs complete with their very own website to celebrate the joys of expecting ! She’s joining the ranks of 24’s Mary Lynn Rajskub, Halle Berry, Gwen and […]

Taxicab Depressions Cont: a Foray Into Crazy Blind Date

So you’re probably thinking my drunk self from the last post sloppily filled out an online dating profile (with phenomenal coherence) after her long, hard night alone and signed herself up without a second thought.
Please. I had the sense to wait a bit and soberly research this. CrazyBlindDate.com and I were hardly acquaintances. […]

You Had Me At Hola… and a Shot of Cheap Tequila.

I have an inexplicable love for frat boys. You’d think that after college, I’d have learned my lesson and vow to never again attempt dating one. But no. Ooooh no.
It was Cinco de Mayo, right after college graduation. Four margaritas and a free t-shirt later, I saw him, stumbling toward the […]

Politically Inept? Drink and Do Some Research

Like any good twenty-something, I’m on several random email lists, usually of the happy hour variety. When one of my favorite haunts in lower Manhattan emailed me about an open bar next Monday, I did a cartoon-style double-take.
Not because I’m that excited about an open bar, but because in the subject line, this one […]

Down with the Man Uggs!

They’re hideous, but clearly Uggs aren’t going anywhere. I own and love them, and wear them regularly from November to March.
Practical as these babies may be for me, I cannot think of any reason why men should own them. I wouldn’t even bother arguing this point aside from the unfortunate reality that […]

People Still Watch Miss America? Why?

So another Miss America pageant has come and gone without anyone really noticing.
Maybe it’s because we have other fantastic outlets to judge people, such as, say, Rock of Love, I Love New York, and the classic and oh-so-classy Flavor of Love (I’m detecting a “love” theme here, VH1).
Unpredictability is what sells, any idiot can see […]
