Young, Fabulous, and Broke: How to Survive Without Much Green

Of course there would be a clothing designer to capitalize off the twenty-something lifestyle. Young, Fabulous, and Broke is another high-end label that produces denim pricing-out around a quarter of my monthly rent and a cute little dress for my bi-weekly food budget.
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 […]

Why You Should Make It a Boys’ Night

While I was prepping for job interviews in undergrad, stressed beyond coherence, my guy friends’ consistent argument was that I should just land a sugar daddy and stop being such an agist. If that didn’t work out, though, I should somehow support a trophy husband and show the world what feminism was all about.
Truthfully, […]

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 […]
